Incredible Trip and Beautiful Scenes - Firstly, our tour leader, Colin, was an absolute gentleman and he made the whole experience even better with his knowledge of the land, culture and history. He was also very helpful in sharing advice for our trip, offering to take pictures and just providing an overall authentic experience. The weather was a bit rainy, yet it didn’t affect our enjoyment of the day, as we had a chance to stop for pictures, take in the scenery, as well as having time for refreshment and bathroom breaks thanks to Colin. The highlight of the trip had to be Glencoe, as the views were breathtaking. Again, I have to acknowledge and thank Colin for sharing his knowledge of the landscapes we passed, such as ‘Honeymoon Island’. My partner and I both enjoyed the trip. We love travelling and exploring nature/wildlife, and we both agreed that this trip was one of the best places/experiences we’ve had. We would both recommend Discover Scotland to anyone looking to tour the Highands, and we would definitely like to take this trip/one of your other trips in the future.

Informative, comprehensive, historical, picturesque - We had an awesome tour of the Highlands and Loch Ness with Scott! His expertise on the historical spots was much appreciated and he had an upbeat personality that made the day fly by. Will definitely be booking another tour with Discover Scotland on my next trip.

Fantastic tour and guide. Scott made the trip fabulously interesting and enjoyable - Trip was fantastic, even in winter (arguably the most beautiful time to visit the highlands). Scott as our guide took excellent care of us, even found us some cows

A fantastic unexpected experience full of history, breathtaking landscapes and a very professional guide - Despite David's Scottish accent (a nice part of the experience too) he did his best to make us understand him. It was an incredible experience that I would repeat without hesitation. David talked to us about Scottish history, played typical music, told us anecdotes and in a very funny and pleasant way showed us several places in the highlands that I didn't expect to see. 10/10, thank you.

Best people, better views - Our tour guide was amazing! He was witty, full of knowledge, friendly, and made sure we all had the best time on our tour. The bus was comfortable and even though it rained most of the day, I think it made it that much more picturesque! Absolutely loved this tour.

Wonderful tour of Highlands and Loch Lomond, Loch Ness and Hairy Coos - My friend and I both had a fantastic time. We heard about the trip from a booklet at the Hilton Glasgow. At first, we were shared a different tour and I tried to book that but the date was not available. I looked at Discover Scotland’s tour and it highlighted the same places - and there was availability (and it was a few pounds cheaper!). Our tour guide and driver, Colin was wonderful. Truly appreciated his narration throughout the trip. He’s got a great sense of humor. I was especially touched by the story behind song “Loch Lomond” and it was great to visit the loch. Colin was kind enough to make a stop for us to visit the hairy coos (which was my highlight of the trip). We were lucky to have beautiful weather with sunshine for most of the trip. No critiques on my part. Highly recommend!

1 day tour from Glasgow in highlands - I had an amazing bus tour of the Scottish Highlands with our guide, Billie. He was so knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts about the history and culture of the area. The scenery was stunning, and Billie made sure we had plenty of time at each stop to explore. His passion for the Highlands really shone through, making the experience both fun and informative. Highly recommend this tour!
