Excellent trip in the Highlands - Our trip to Loch Ness & the Highlands was a very nice experience. Our tour guy and bus driver (Mike) was excellent in his work ( with a nice Scottish accent) explaining to us the history and special tips of each location. If you ask me if it is worth it to do this trip, I will answer 100%.

Great Tour - We truly enjoyed our tour. Alex our tour director and driver was informative, friendly and fun. We had plenty of time for pictures and lunch. Boat trip was cold but really amazing. The castle ruins were beautiful. This was well worth the cost.

Heave ho, let’s go. - ANDY S. Fm INVERNESS was spectacular! Sites were grand. Background data was grand. Humor and consideration for his guests, unmatchable. He should only be shamed for not wearing his kilt that day. But wait, the next day he was wearing his kilt. Oh well. We would take a tour with this group, and with this guide, anywhere in the world.

Great tour, bad tour guide - The tour itself is awesome. The location, castle, towns, all incredible. The only downside was the tour guide Sinclair. He said very little about the loch, history, etc - but I did learn most of the earths surface is unfit for agriculture because it’s covered with water. And I learned that I should not eat at one of Inverness’s best rated restaurants.
