Traveller Tips
It was a long day but really worth it and also had just the right amount of stops in between all the driving so you didn't feel too cooped up in the bus.
Weather cool to cold but good for time of year.
Highly recommended for those wanted to experience the Scottish highlands and don’t have too much time for it!

The Lochness Cruise, it just took my breath away. Weather was wonderful and we had good snapping spots as well.
Worth it!
Amanda_L, May 2023
Totally worth the long day! Tour guide told excellent stories about the history. Bus was clean and comfortable. Glad we were able to do and see so much in just one tour. I recommend the Loch Ness cruise as well as I also found it very interesting an also enjoyed the bar on board :)
Incredible way to see Scotland
Melina_P, May 2023
An incredible all-day tour to get out and see what Scotland has to offer! Although our stay was only in Edinburgh, with this tour I feel like we got to really explore more of Scotland, learn some incredible history, and explore some small towns. Would definitely recommend!
Awesome day trip to Loch Ness!
Debra_V, May 2023
Our driver was Ryan, the king, and he was a delight!! His stories, his tunes on the speakers, his humor, all first class!! This is worth the long ride (multiple stops), and I highly recommend it👍
A Scottish fairy tale
Iliyan_T, May 2023
The tour was great, a very good way to experience this side of the country for the short time we had. The guide was great and I would highly recommend him - Anthony.
For the time and money - it's great value.
Decent amount of stops for coffee or toilet, and most of all the guide help with information about good locations for local food and experience.
Great guide and itinerary
Adi_B, May 2023
Excellent driver-guide (thank you Alistair!!), very knowledgeable! The format was stories and explanations in the bus, so we could explore freely at each stop. The loch ness tour was great, and each location had the required facilities (toilets & food).
Superb day out into the Highlands and Loch Ness!
Bev_C, May 2023
We had a full and wonderful day out into the Highlands and Loch Ness. Loved Freddy’s careful chosen playlist of Scottish themed tracks as background to the journey. Scenery and cruise on Loch Ness was beautiful as was the superb weather …all which enhanced the experience. Highly recommend this tour.
Fantastic tour!!!
Angel_R, May 2023
Very entertaining and educational tour guides (Brian, Frazer) and all places visited were as good as expected.
Great introduction to the Highlands
Margo_S, May 2023
Wonderful tour with Alistair. Spectacular scenery and the full range of climates for the whole journey. Marvelled at the gruesome Scottish history along the way. Fort Augustus a pretty little settlement on the canal for lunch. Unfortunately the boat did not run when we were there as it had run aground but lovely walk to see Loch Ness instead. Enjoyed the Scottish sound track played on the journey back to Edinburgh, a great day out!
Canadian visiting Edinburgh
Yvonne_R, May 2023
Beautiful weather that day, guide and driver amazing. Great memories to take back to Canada with me. Bonus going on a short cruise on Loch Ness.
