5.00The exact location to meet the bus, we were unaware so we were almost late for the departure time. Thankfully the bus information booth directed us.
Great time

5.00This was a wonderful day. It is a 12 hour bus day, so be prepared for that. Glen was our bus driver and tour guide. He was an incredible storyteller. Among the entire journey, he kept us entertained with true stories., facts, music, and history all about Scotland. We made numerous stops with incredible views to photograph. Glen made sure that we stopped in a little cafe that allowed us the opportunity to feed and pet coos. I think, if we had the opportunity to do this in the summer months, when the days are longer, we might have even seen more.If possible. The cruise on the Loch was just as wonderful. Great storytelling, and just long enough to enjoy on a rainy day.

5.00I had a lovely time. Jeff C from Glasgow was phenomenal (not to be confused with Jeff from Edinburgh, I don’t know that guy). He knew so much history which was much appreciated and he was also really funny. I really wanted to see Highland Cows and he made sure that I got to. We covered so much of the Scottish countryside I would’ve never got to see otherwise. Would 100% recommend for anyone!
Don’t be fooled

1.00Do not look at the pictures that are posted because none of them are true. We did not see any castles. We did not see any cows. We did not stop at the carnigorms national Forest. We were rushed to eat lunch. There was no time for actual exploring. Each stop was less than five minutes to pee, and we were told to get directly back to the bus after the boat. We saw very few cows from very far away and drive by so fast could not get a pic, but according to the pictures posted online there are people petting them. I want a refund. This was nothing more than a 12 hour bus ride with a one hour boat ride in between. I was ready for a venture and I feel extremely disappointed.
