Beautiful Scottish Highlands - Great day spent travelling through picturesque Scottish towns. The highlight was the beautiful highlands that need to be seen to be believed. The highland cows were gorgeous. We even got to feed them carrots and potatoes. Loch Ness was serene, somewhat eerie, but amazing overall. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating to our needs. Our schedule was jam packed but super flexible. We saw so much in a short period of time.

Best Way to see the Scottish Highlands if you are only in Scotland for a few days - This tour is the best Way to see the Scottish Highlands if you are only in Scotland for a few days. Ed is very informative and goes the extra mile to accommodate special requests. He provided great communication in planning the itinerary for the day when we booked. His vehicle was very clean and well maintained which provided a comfortable environment for a long day.

Private highlands tour - The views of the highlands and Urquhart castle. This itinerary is too crowded for enough leisure time with no fault of the tour guide. His name was Ed and he did a fabulous job!

12 hours in the Highlands! - Ed was wonderful on our day trip to the highlands from Edinburgh. We are a family of 3 with a 3 year old. He was warm and welcoming and even brought a car seat for our son. His car is clean and well maintained and very comfortable. Ed was willing to accommodate our preferences and change our scheduled distillery to Oban. He is a safe driver and had a lot of trivia to entertain us throughout our 12 hours together. Would highly recommend him for a comfortable and knowledgeable tour of the highlands.

Our adventure in the Highlands - Our tour guide, Ed, picked us up promptly with a Mercedes van that rode comfortably. We got ahead of the tour buses, so the entire adventure was spent one step in front of the crowd. We love the private tour as with 5 people it was only marginally more expensive than if we had done the bus tour with a large group. That cost was defrayed by the driver picking us up from a hotel that was outside the city of Edinburgh, so we didn't have to pay for transportation to get to a central meeting point. We got to the restrooms first, lunch first and were done when we said we were done. Ed was very informative and took us to places the bus tours couldn't go due to size. His entre day was spent making our trip more enjoyable. If you are in Scotland and want to see the beauty of Scotland, give this tour a try.

Memorable Experience with a great guide - Memorable experience. Our guide was nice and professional. Gave us a lot of information about Scottish history and the highlands. It was a pleasant experience despite the rain. We were taken around in a very comfortable van and basic things like water and napkins were provided. He even let us change the itinerary after we started the tour. A must go tour if visiting Scotland.
