A truly amazing tour with Cameron, JR and Georgina! The schedule was tight but totally worth it, saw so many great places and the photo spots were expertly picked. The guide had thoroughly researched his material and the stories were lively and interesting. Learned a great deal! The driver was very skilled and we felt safe even in difficult weather conditions and on the small winding roads. The accommodations were very comfortable and hospitable. The overall atmosphere was very welcoming, can wholeheartedly recommend this experience!

The guide Chloe and the driver Michael were great. The stops were well placed and interesting. My complaint is around accommodation. I would highly recommend finding your own. The old B&B was not very good and it was pretty cold when we were traveling and the B&B turned off all heat between 12 and 6. It was absolutely freezing and really a bad experience. My mom and I almost booked our own hotel for the second night. This B&B should not be used. It actually put a damper on the whole trip which otherwise would have been fantastic. The nights should be in a hotel.

This tour was absolutely wonderful! Chloe, our tour guide, and Michael, our driver, shared all their knowledge of their homeland with us and organised everything very well. We are very grateful for this experience and look forward to visiting Scotland again.

What a wonderful 3 days! Guide Iain made everything easy and fun with his knowledge and humor. As a solo woman traveler, I felt completely at ease. Hotel accommodations were clean, welcoming and good breakfast. Very much worth the expense!

Had a experience of a lifetime in this three days tour of highlands that exceeded my expectation. Well paced with a fun packed itinerary and breathtaking views of Isle of Ski, Lochness, Ben Nevis, quaint little towns as Portree, Luss and Pitrorchy and not to mention the beautiful capital city Inverness.Thanks much to our tour guide “Joe” who have been the best throughout taking care of all our small needs, always on time, fun to be around and very informative with history, culture, art and music of Highlands. For me “Isle of ski” , “Ben Nevis” “Inverness/Lochness” have been the highlights.Would highly recommend to book this 3 day tour , if looking to explore Highlands.
