James M. The driver was excellent, and went above and beyond. Very knowledgeable about history of Scotland. Scenery beautiful. Bus comfortable and tour of Loch Lomond, Glencoe, Loch Ness and Pitlochry spectacular. The added meet and greet with the highland coos was great😊
A Great Tour

While I personally felt somewhat cramped in the van (due to a lack of leg room), I had a great experience and Grant was an exceptional tour guide.

Our tour to Loch Ness was thoroughly enjoyable, with a journey that offered breathtaking scenery throughout. Our guide was attentive and ensured we paused at all the picturesque spots for photo opportunities and convenient pit stops, which were much appreciated. The only drawback was the length of the journey, which limited the time available at each stop. As multiple tour buses tended to arrive simultaneously at popular locations, this occasionally led to congestion. As a result, purchasing food became challenging, and at times, we had to forgo it altogether.
