Seeing the beautiful landscape was amazing - if you like road trips and checking out scenery from your seat, then this is perfect for you. This tour stopped in a few towns and few nature spots, however, I wish it made better stops that let you check out the land for a little bit longer. But other than that, the driver was great - he introduced us to some new music and some old, like Mogwai who are Scottish - I never knew. I think it's definitely worth the money. It gets you out and into the land - kind of like a primer for a return trip on your own.

Definitely worth the long drive the highlands are incredibly beautiful and our driver / guide made it all come alive with his witty commentary throughout. So what if the monster didn't show up at Loch Ness we did enjoy the boat ride!

The tour was great. Our guide was very knowledgeable and thorough. I was a bit disappointed in the Loch Ness tour though. Guess you have to be a believer.

It was a great way to see the Highlands especially if you only have a day to do it in. The size of the group was wasn't too large.

We had a very good guide. In general the trip was great; I felt the two-hour stop at Fort Augustus was too much.

The trip was great. It was maybe too much ground to be covered in a single day. We loved the locations but would have enjoyed more time in the natural setting instead of the shops. The tour leaders were great.

Great opportunity to see the highlands in just one day.

It was a great experience overall, but I would have preferred to go on the excursion when the grass was much greener, instead of the mud brown color. That is definitely in no fault to Viator, but rather my own trip planning. I would definitely love to go again, just at a different time of the year.

Appreciated the stories told by our driver. Even though this should be obvious, there should be a warning forbidding alcohol on the bus. Our trip had a young Russian whose main purpose in life was staying drunk and he caused a few problems on our trip.

It was a great tour, and we were only in Scotland for two days so this gave us a chance to see a great deal of the countryside. The tour bus was very nice and clean, and the tour guide was charming and knowledgeable.

Great tour guide, great small bus. But, we did not stop in enough places for hikes or walks. Also, it rained the entire way which made it that much more difficult to really enjoy the trip. But, the organization, the bus and the guide were great.

We spent too much time stopping and take photographs on trip through the Highlands. Two stops is fine, but five times is just too much. The driver was very good and the bus was good, even though the other Mercedes bus with us broke down.

The guide talked the entire tour, he was in love with his own voice. When he was not talking, he played music that was not age appropriate for the medium age of the people in the group.
