This was my first trip solo and I loved it!!!! The highlands are so beautiful. We had a small group of wonderful people that made the tour much more fun. But the icing on the cake was our tour guide and driver. She makes the highlands come alive. Cheerful, witty, knowledgeable and just so much fun. She even had music to accompany her story of the highlands. You have to take this trip!!! =)
This was a wonderful trip! The company was excellent and we all loved our tour guide, Sarah! I am so glad I took this trip; if not I would have missed a fab experience, seeing the Highlands and all its beauty! It was a worthwhile trip and I am so glad I booked it your company.
Excellent tripp covering parts of the highlands. Guide was outstanding!
It's a long tripp so be prepared! However, it's was totally worth both time and money. You get to see a lot of the highlands and the guides are friendly and knowledgeable.
A very good trip, not too long and not too short. You get to visit some great parts of the highlands. Whisky destillary was a bit disapointing considering the extra charge.
Excellent tour guide! Very informative stories about the Highlands and Scottish culture. Breathtaking scenery!
Mav was very knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide. He was a safe driver and the highlands were beautiful. Great way to spend the day.
Excellent! I would highly recommend this tour. Really, I had an enjoyable time in Scotland. Thanks Viator’s Provider of the tour for this special moment in my life. Just concluded if you don’t know the Highlands, you don’t know well Scotland. Tour meeting point: it was in front of Rabbie’s store at the Royal Mile/High Street. Staff really friendly in the reception. Tour vehicle: Rabbie’s Edinburgh - A mini bus Mercedes, comfortable for two days trip; Tour guide: really nice-friendly guy and good driver. He kept a good and funny environment during the tour. Always, he was caring about his “tour people”. He was caring about time-toilette, to keep everybody around to not lose themselves in the Forest, walkings, etc. He always giving us tips about the places (History, Geography, General Knowledge… linking with movies as well). He also gave us info about restaurants at the stops. Tour schedule/planning: perfect. In terms of knowledge, history you can learn lots with the tour guide-driver as well. Our guide always giving info about places, geography and history of the places. Kids may be bored at some point. But good for taking photos, enjoying the places. Tour B and B (Ardross Guesthouse-B and B): Lovely stay. I must confess I am a bit fussy about to sleep at clean places. It was my first experience in a B and B. I read a previous review they wrote B and Bs were a good option. So it really was better than I thought. Family B and B and so much better stay than many hotels. Free with good signal wii fi. Great location few metres on walk to Inverness (3 min): town, old town, Ness walk, shoppings, Tescos, good pubs with food, restaurants, tourist spots as Inverness Castle, Church St Andrew. Bright room/Comfy bed. My room was as clean as “mother cleans our room”. Good smell. I felt like a friendly home room, not only an accommodation. Tasty and simple breakfast (hot, drinks and cold options). Ok, the Highlands weather was not great, but I still had one of most enjoyable times/trips (I have been travelled lots of places in our world! I would describe myself as a well travelled person!)

Trip was beautiful, I loved every second of it, the driver was full of knowledge and new all areas well and showed it all lovely in a relaxed time, I will book another one after getting all my friends to do as a group trip specially with our driver - as our guide and driver, it was one of the best trip I ever had, and hope to go again. I would recommend this trip to everyone who is going to Edinburgh. Highly to do and must do, if someone wants to have a wonderful day out from Edinburgh to Highlands and all then this trip has all five stars. Once again it is a must do trip.
We can't say enough wonderful things about our day tour to Loch Ness through the Scottish Highlands, especially about our tour guide, Audrey. She amazed us with her knowledge of the Highlands, as well as the history of Scotland - we all learned so much! A week later, we're still talking about her and what we learned and saw during our tour. We were lucky to see the Highlands on a day with near perfect weather, and still can't believe we visited Loch Ness - a truly magical place I always thought only existed in storybooks. Thank you Audrey for an unforgettable experience!
The tour was absolutely smashing. Enjoyed from the very beginning to the very end. Our guide Karen was really an amazing lady, knew so much about the history of Scotland especially the Highlands. Weather in Highlands was quite horrible, and was freezing, but apart from that the journey was really amazing.
This was the perfect day trip! Eric, our tour guide, was excellent - I wish I could have kept him along for the rest of our time in Edinburgh. His wealth of knowledge about his home country from a cultural, historical, geological, and political perspective is what made this day so special. I hope other tour guides and people can learn from his knowledge.
The sites are impressive too, even in winter. Stirling castle was everything we expected it to be and the quaintness of the Highlands was the perfect contradiction to our city visit. Viator and Rabbies made this incredibly easy and I would travel again with these organizations.
Excellent! Our guide (Bob) had extensive knowledge of both the area and its history. A wonderful day out, and it felt very exclusive because there were only the 6 of us on board that particular day. I would highly recommend this day out to any visitor to Edinburgh who wants a broad overview of the Highlands in just one day.
This was my second daytrip and both have been top notch. The guide, Liam, was a very friendly and well informed guy. He entertained us all day with tales from Scottish history/culture without ever becoming boring and very obligingly provided several stops for photo opportunities. Even though our tour was in December with limited daylight, we got round pretty much everything and at no time did we feel rushed or pressured to get back on the bus to move on. I would heartily recommend to anyone who wants to sample a taste of the Highlands whilst based in Edinburgh. Can't wait to do another tour next year.
