Had the most amazing Scottish experience- it was everything I had thought it would be. We had the most amazing driver - Charlie - whose character and charm added to the energy of the trip. Charlie introduced us to the highlands with entertaining stories and myths that captivated the imagination and left me with a memory of a lifetime.

A fantastic tour! Our tour guide and driver Charlie was fantastic, a great laugh, many good story’s and just generally super nice and knowledgable! The views were outstanding, many of the shorter stops were even cooler than fort Augustus and Loch Ness. The stop in Loch Ness could have been a little longer, bit hard to squeeze in both a meal and see the surroundings. But overall a fantastic experience that I would recommend dearly!

Brilliant day. We had Tim as our driver, very informative and very funny. Weather was on our side luckily. Was cold but we are in Scotland. The boat trip was good on the Loch Ness. Lovely fresh lunch prepared and was included. Well organised. Scenery was amazing. Our first time up in Scotland and I what a trip it’s been, definitely want to return and see more. Tim recommended a lot top tips along the way. The whisky ice cream is a must.
