Super recommended - Today my boyfriend and I went on the tour to the Lochness lake.
The Italian guide, Serena, was super good. He explained so many things and told us so many anecdotes about
Scotland, the Scots, the whiskey, the music and various stories...... We came out enriched with things never heard before and that you do not find written in books.
Only the first stage I found useless ... the bathroom stage is fine, but it’s in a sort of autogrill (to put it Italian) ... with all the beautiful things there are in Scotland, you could find an alternative.
Other than that, I highly recommend it.

I'd do it a thousand more times! - I booked the excursion to Inverness and the Highlands a few days earlier, and luckily there was still room. It was the best choice I could have made and I recommend it to anyone coming to Scotland for the first time!
Serena was very good at telling every historical and cultural anecdote of the country, all very accurate... You immediately notice that he puts so much passion into his work! During the trip, listening to her was a pleasure, she also alternated between Scottish songs or songs that had to do with Scotland or even based on anecdotes she told us! The various stops were well thought out and reasoned, each of them was essential and with the right stop time needed. A round of applause also goes to Andy for his safe driving!
Thank you so much for this experience, the day was beautiful!

Scotland Green 10 and praise! - First time in Scotland we decided not to stay only in Edinburgh and this tour really shows this beautiful land! The journey is 600 km long in total, but well distributed with various stops and the time on the bus is enriched by the detailed explanations of Valentina, who in telling expresses all her "historic" passion! It is also full of advice on things to give more attention to and places to eat, saying qualities, differences and characteristics! And then we also had the gift of blue sky and warm sun! An intense trip but definitely worth getting to know a little bit of Scotland!

Wonderful tour in the heart of Scotland! - Wonderful tour, really well organized to discover the history not only of Edinburgh but also of Scotland. Our Italian group had been merged with the Spanish one, but everyone had their Guide talking through a microphone and we all had an mp3 with headphones, so we could only hear the voice of Federico, our Italian Guide. Much appreciated was the choice to alternate stories with listening to Scottish music / artists of Scottish origin, which made everything more magical and less heavy the long journey (also because in many places does not take the internet). Fortunately we found good weather, so it was really good even without wearing technical clothing. The tour includes both photo stops (Glencoe), rest stops or a bite to eat (Pitlochry and Fort Augustus) and those who wanted could take a cruise on Loch Ness.

Absolutely to do! - Scotland tour
Beautiful tour to Inverness, Unquhart Castle and Loch Ness.
The day is long, but it is really worth doing this tour for the natural beauty you visit, for the stories you learn, for the beautiful places you visit. Our Italian Guide Valentina was very good, professional, patient and helpful as well as the Spanish Guide Edita and our driver Adam
This tour had been recommended by those who had already traveled with them and I also Recommendation!

Giacomo, The Actor - The tour in the bus gave us the possibility of an optimal view of the landscapes, the driver was not racing and made the whole trip enjoyable
Our Guide, Giacomo, was very talkative in speeches, made the trip very interesting alternating seriousness and laughter
The music chosen was really good, it was not boring, but not heavy, indeed, it made it all the more special, moreover he was very available to answer questions outside the tour even after the tour is over
The only flaw: since returning from Lochness the stop for swimming was after about 4 hours, but that does not change that the experience was excellent

I would do it again - Magnificent tour, breathtaking scenery. Giacomo very competent and nice in explaining everything you saw. We stayed on August 1 and both my daughter and husband very pleased with the experience. The Highlands are beautiful, we also found a wonderful day for the trip to Loch Ness, perhaps too short, but still a nice experience. Long tour, yes, but worth it. Very satisfied, thank you

The charm of the Highlands and Lochs - Exciting tour between the vision of the fantastic lakes and the wonderful landscape of the Highlands (especially, the Three Sisters: that is, the Three Sisters).
Travel made very pleasant and enjoyable by relaxing music (I, in particular, enjoyed the violins) and compelling curiosities and interesting historical information provided by Giacomo, a funny, kind and always available guide.
In fact, I listened with interest and attention to all the compelling stories told by the guide, who, in addition to possessing the skills proper to the profession, has shown (in my humble opinion) also a talent as a Radio Speaker, able to keep high and constant the attention, as well as curiosity, of customers. And I thank him for that.
Complimenti a Giacomo!!!
