Stunning scenery, our driver was great fun and extremely knowledgeable. Long day but great value for your money. Would definitely use this company again. Thanks for a fantastic trip!

It was a great day trip. We covered a lot of ground and had time for scenic pictures. Our driver guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. We felt at ease with everyone on the bus. Made new friends over the 10 hr period.

Excellent day out. It was a long day but you know that when you book it. You visit lots of different places and have lots of mini breaks for photos etc and other longer breaks for lunch and coffees. The guide we had was very knowledgeable and really knew about the history of Scotland and the places we visited. It was well worth the money and we would recommend to anyone. We would definitely use you again. The minibus was also very clean and comfortable.

The local tour company that actually took us on this trip was amazing, especially our guides. You really can't have a bad time in Scotland, anyway.

My first thought was 'oh my god, this is going to be a looong day' but it ended up being the perfect amount of time you need. There is just the right amount of stops, and just enough moments of silence from the guide to get a quick nap in on the bus ride home. We had a great tour guide who made it more personal by joking about where each of us was from and knowing a little bit about each place we were coming from. The scenery is gorgeous! It is impossible to get a bad picture on this tour. When we stopped in Loch Ness, unfortunately the boat tour wasn't running but we got a good lunch at Bothy Pub, sorry I think that is what it was called. I would only suggest, use your time wisely at Loch Ness because the time goes very quickly and it is just so great to see. It is definitely well worth the cost, and you would be crazy not to do it. The only problem we had was with the people in the office in the morning of the tour. They had put the tour in the wrong name so we had to stay outside to sort it out and by the time it all made sense we were the last ones on the bus and had to sit apart in single seats and they were the seats right between the windows. Once the tour started though, all was good and we had a fantastic time! I highly recommend this tour!

Really enjoyed the trip from start to finish. The meeting place was really easy to find, right on the Royal Mile. The guide was funny but also very informative, and I felt we got a lot out of the trip for the price. The only downside was that it got dark at about 5:30, so the last few hours of the trip were in the dark. Definitely would recommend going in the summer if possible, but we had fun and great weather none the less!

An absolutely wonderful trip, well-planned with a great driver whose knowledge, humor and helpfulness was outstanding. I am a senior and walk with 2 canes. He and my fellow travelers were patient as I got on and off the bus and kept up with the tour. It was a very rainy day with patches of sun and a beautiful rainbow. He made it all sunny and interesting. I loved the small tour - just 16 people - and will highly recommend it to my travel agent and friends and other travelers.

The tour was excellent. The tour leader was so informative and knowledgeable on everything. He was full of cold but still did an excellent job. I would love to do a longer trip when time allows. Thank you for a super trip.

Wonderful trip. I've heard some people complain about its length, but we took my parents, who are in their sixties and my Mother uses a cane and they had no problems. Our guide was great. He is from the Highlands and was able to take us to a few places of the beaten path. Only negative was not seeing Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness. But it was still a great day.
