No one can resist the mythical Loch Ness: its beauty evokes a sense of wonder, while its monstrous depths are legendary. On this 7-hour small-group tour, you explore all of it in the comfort of a luxury, 16 seat mini-coach. You can enjoy incredible views, learn about the historic ruins of Urquhart Castle, and explore the less frequented south roads of the loch. Even if the monster doesn't show up, you can be assured that your experienced driver-guide will bring this loch to life with beastly tales and history.

There is a fair amount of walking and Scottish weather is unpredictable. Bring sturdy shoes and a rain slicker. The walking is worth it with the views you see. Our driver, Mick, with Rabbies’ was interesting, funny, and informative. He was also very considerate of our abilities and informed us of areas we might have problems traversing.

Kev was a great guide. Personable, patient and knowledgeable. The tour itself hit a lot of area highlights and was great fun. My 15 year old was worried about it being so long, but the time went by quickly even for him.

Great experience. James was a wonderful guide. Perfect for seeing hidden gems that we would have missed in our own and hearing stories/information.

Camille was a great guide as was the Loch Ness Ferry driver (Kieran?). Places visited were lovely and interesting information was given. I would recommend this tour.
