An amazing experience with the lovely, professional guide tour David. The day trip was beautiful,we saw the loch ness and get to a boat for trip among the lake. They guide us to a lot of places . Was a surprice about our guide (David) how polite he was and take care us. He explained us during the whole trip everything about the history of sightseeings , every detail, asking us all the time if we need anything or if we have any question about anything. He was talking carefully and slowly to understand what he was saying. He also made us suggestions for food and everything we must try or see. Even the music in the bus was specific and created atmosphere. Thank you David you are really amazing and you are very professional on this. It was a delightful experience the whole trip really.

The guide David was amazing. With his beautiful Scottish accent he described each place we went with absolute professionalism, humour, and style. Our driver Adam was an amazing and careful driver. We had various stops for bathroom and picture-taking, and the time keeping was absolutely precise. Overall, the experience was unique. We had an incredible time and would definitely recommend this tour again. This sums up beautifully our Scottish experience!! 😊

Sean was fabulous his jokes were corny but he had a great sense of humour his knowledge of the area was excellent and told us some great stories. It was a very long day but the scenery was beautiful, amazing, stunning and everything else made it worth it. We were very lucky with the weather we saw all the peaks and tops of snow capped mountains. I can not speak highly enough of this company and how great it was to have a guide in his Kilt. Even if he did get a bit hot in it! Thank you to the company and Sean it made our first trip to the highlands unforgettable.

We had John as our guide he was very knowledgeable about the history of the areas we travelled, he was also very friendly and played plenty of good music throughout the trip. The trip is largely on the coach, however this is clear from the listing, and you cover a huge amount of Scotland so it’s a perfect way to see the most beautiful areas within a day. Would highly recommend, and would also recommend adding the cruise or the castle as these were also great to see.
