Doing what: Full-Day Trip to Loch Ness and the Scottish Highlands
I would strongly recommand the daytrip to the Highlands. From Edinburgh we travelled in a group of 12 persons with driver/guide Michael. He told us interesting facts about Scotland and during the day trip there were enough stops. In Fort Augustus we had more than an hour leisure time. The Lake Loch Ness was nearby. It reminded me strongly at the fjords in Norway.

We enjoyed the tour very much, really does give you an idea of what the Highlands are like in one day, if that is all the time you can manage, you will want to come back for more though. Enjoyed the small groups.

Excellent and amazing. We had Jonathan as our tour leader and driver. His knowledge is vast, presented in a flowing and amusing manner that kept us interested in what's around us. The views themselves are second to none. I have never witnessed such amazing scenery. The trip was complemented with some traditional Scottish music in between Jonathan's informative talks. We had several stops during the trip, making way for some teas or coffees and refreshments. The tour is spent mostly on the Mercedes van which is very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this tour for those who want to get a quick glimpse of what the Scottish Highlands have to offer.

I took my family on this tour to experience the highlands, but instead we got Shelby, the most wonderful guide in all the world. Her folklore and historical knowledge along with her national pride, moved myself and my parents. She made our trip, one to remember forever!!! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and I look forward to doing it again in the near future!!

This tour was fantastic, we got to see so much in one day. The Highlands were absolutely beautiful and we were lucky enough to have great weather. Our tour guide, Michael, was phenomenal. He was very knowledgeable and just a joy to have guiding us for the day. Highly recommend this trip.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour (13/04/2013). It was all the more enjoyable thanks to our amazing tour guide - who filled us in on the history as we travelled through the wonderful scenery of the Highlands.

I loved this trip from start to finish. Our guide, Eric, was fantastic and the bus we were on was really nice. I went on this trip by myself and I met a lot of nice people from all over the world. We also had great weather. It was a crisp, sunny day which is great because you're never too hot or too cold. Although we were on the bus the majority of the time, it was easy to take pictures along the way. Also, we listened to traditional music and heard stories about the histories behind famous people, battles, castles, etc. Sadly, I did not spot Nessie. Maybe next time :) My only regret is not going for longer. I could have stayed up in the highlands forever! It's so beautiful!

You will definitely get your moneys worth! Even though the weather wasn't great the day of our tour we still had a fantastic time. Our guide was excellent and kept us entertained with Scottish folk lore and music while we drove. The highlands are beautiful, you won't regret this trip!!!

I loved the Highlands - it was truly spectacular, and our guide Sarah could not have been more entertaining and knowledgeable. It's a LONG drive - LONG- and not many folks could have kept it as interesting as she did.

Awesome Day Trip! Highlight of my trip!!! If you only have one day in Scotland do this tour! The Highlands are breath taking. We got booked in a small group with the guide, Mike, was awesome!!! It snowed the day we went, so it was extra beautiful. Would highly recommend!!!

Our driver/guide was great, the highlands were beautiful. Just wish there had been some sun.... but the good news is, it did not rain very hard.
