The Highlands, Loch Ness, and Urquhart Castle were experiences we will never forget. Gary was an excellent guide and driver.

It was an amazing experience despite a roadblock on the way to Loch Ness, which resulted in cancellation of our day trip for which we got a full refund. Despite the cancellation, our guide Brian made this day memorable, as he still drove us to Loch Lomond, knew a lot about Scottish history and he was a real entertainer!

We had a day trip in Scotland and our guide Anthony was absolutely lovely. He shared so many stories and history about Scotland which we would’ve never known. Me and my wife enjoyed every spot they showed and every activity that was covered. The driving was extremely smooth. We definitely recommend to have a tour with them and ASK FOR ANTHONY!
