The trip to the Highlands was a highlight of our visit to Edinburgh. Owen, our driver, offered a great balance of information and quiet time. He played Scottish music or music from famous Scots. We made numerous stops to appreciate the beauty of the landscape or see a famous spot. There were plenty of bathroom/rest breaks as well. We drove up to Loch Ness and some of us had opted for the boat ride. The boat ride itself, is pretty run of the mill, but it did offer interesting information about the Loch itself and was a break from the bus ride. Others, who had not opted for the boat ride, spent the hour or so in the town, which had shops and places to eat. On the way back, we stopped to see the Highland cows up close - it was a highlight of the trip! It is a long day but with the stops and Owen's info-sharing and music, it didn't seem so long!

Absolutely loved the tour! Pete is hands down one of the best tour guides I ever met. He is fun, caring, knowledgeable and has a great taste in music. Loved all the songs he picked to accompany us along the ride. Loch Ness has to be the highlight of the tour, it’s simply surreal. Also, the tour lets you enjoy the different sceneries of Scotland highlands, mountains, lakes, farm animals. Very enjoyable, definitely recommend!
