Best trip - What a fantastic trip. Our tour guide Wee Stevie was an absolute gem. He was hilarious, fun and told the best stories. He was helpful on what to do in the smaller towns. He even helped me get my phone back from Inverness to Edinburg when I lost it. Best bus trip I have ever taken. I highly recommend.

This tour was a wonderful overview of the Highlands! We saw a lot of beautiful places. - Ryan was an excellent guide, he gave us a lot of information about the areas we visited. We were very lucky with our weather, The Isle of Skye was lovely, we really enjoyed seeing the steam train cross over the viaduct.

Must do activity in Scotland! - Do it, do it, do it!!! The absolute highlight of my trip! Got to see both the East and West side of the highlands and fit in so many places in just three days. Wee Steevie was the BEST tour guide!!! So knowledgeable, hilarious, considerate, and made the whole trip so enjoyable. Also a great way to meet people as a solo traveler! Loved every minute.

Scottish Highlands Adventure - Our guide was very knowledgeable and showed us sights we would never have seen if we were driving ourselves. The views were outstanding and stops for breaks were well timed throughout the day.

Wee Stevie is the best Stevie. - That includes Stevie Nicks. Such a wonderful tour in Freya, The Hairy Coo bus. Love the mirrors shaped like ears. The tour too covered a ton of beautiful locations, included fun historical and mythological stories, and was paced impeccably so your body never feels tired from sitting on a bus all day. Lots of opportunities to stretch you legs, use restrooms, and even pet a real live hairy coo :)

Fantastic (and comprehensive) Tour of the Highlands! - The tour was great! Absolutely wonderful experience driving through the highlands, especially the Isle of Skye! While at first skeptical about the amount of places to visit in just 3 days, by the 3rd day I made wonderful memories and took in some breathtaking sites, while listening to folk stories of fairies and singing along to the Harry Coo toons!

Great driver, but a lot of wasted time - To be clear, our driver was great and the coach was comfortable enough, but the trip details really fell short. First, you start at two tourist traps, which are basically a way to allow for bathroom breaks. Except, nobody bothered to check that the bathrooms were even open. So it took more than an hour on bumpy roads to get to a bathroom. Thats not great with an 815 start. Then, that bathroom was completely packed. The rest of the day felt like we were on the bus more than outside- when we did stop for lunch or at a place with more shops or sites to explore the the most time off the bus was an hour. Not much time, especially when you need to get lunch etc. But worst is that they demand an early start 715 sharp, but i course we are still waiting at 745 for the tardy folks. We also got back to Inverness late both days- very little time to see anything in town while it's still open. If there is no time to explore the town, why not stay somewhere cheaper outside of town? So, disappointed in the very limited experience. Again, our guide was fantastic- it wasn't his fault, bc the travel company makes the schedule. However, I can't recommend the tour. A lot of time wasted vs optimized by experts.
