Recommended a 100% percent - The tour guy was excellent, he was on time and answered any questions that we had. He gave us a lot of information and was really fun too. The cruise was short but it was really nice too.

On Tour with Stewart - Stewart, our driver/guide, was beyond excellent. He was funny and sweet and helpful and knew his history and facts. I've never had this much fun on a tour before. The activities themselves were extremely fun and enjoyable. we visited the colluden battlefield which - given the tragic massacre that happened on it - had a very very intense feeling about it. loch ness and and the urquhart castle truly were a sight to behold (we were blessed with beautiful sunny weather in november!!!!). to fellow outlander fans, you get to experience some parts that claire herself did (not going to spoiler tho). I'd recommend this tour again and again really and to Stewart, you were fantastic, thank you for making our day so special.

Loch Nesse Cruise - Had a lovely time with Iain and Karen. Unfortunately the Urquhart Castle was closed, but they let us know that in advance.

Great views with great pictures - The views were absolutely stunning, and our guide was not only friendly and knowledgeable but also a genuinely nice person. The scenery was breathtaking, and the distillery visit provided an informative experience. However, there were some timing issues, such as the morning bus lateness (in which we had no contact for) and the castle closing before our scheduled pickup. This is something to consider to make the whole tour more smooth running in the future. It would have also been wonderful to have the option to participate in a full distillery tour, rather than just a tasting, to enhance the experience further & have the museum included in the original cost. Overall, despite these minor timing hiccups, the day was fantastic, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to a friend.
