Wonderful tour to the Highlands, Lochs and Castles. Our tour guide was Kenny and he was great. There were many stops and time to take photos, get snacks and use the facilities if needed. We did the tour in late March and had cool, windy weather with rain and mist much of the time. Kenny did an amazing job talking about the sights we were seeing and talking to us about Scottish history. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Unfortunately we had a rainy days during this trip. Fortunately, we had a great guide (his name escapes me). who took us to the scenic spots along the way to the beautiful Highlands. If it was a nice day it would have been exceptional, on a rainy days it's merely great.

Amazing trip. Grant was our guide. Great driver, solid tour guide with a big heart. The views were amazing. Grant went out of his way to let the group get pictures of the Kelpies and of a hairy coo. Trip was fantastic. Highly recommend.
