An awesome adventure - William, our guide, was so very informative and thorough with the historical information he provided. He interspersed his narrative with relevant music, which made the driving portions quite enjoyable. He always made sure to stop enough times for bathroom breaks and refreshments. We never could have seen as many sights if we had gone on our own, so this tour was well worth it. The scenery in the highlands was awesome, and we especially loved the Loch Ness cruise—the water was so still it looked like glass. All in all, we felt this tour was an amazing part of our overall trip to Scotland.

The driver made the tour 5 stars 🌟 - The tour was everything we hoped for and more. Our guide and driver Pete was the best, he told us all the stories and had even made a playlist to make a great atmosphere on the bus. Making fun, showing us all the best spots and driving safe and comfortable. Scotland is truly amazing 😻

Lotta Fun In The Highlands! - Great trip through the Highlands! Our Tour Guide Rod was the best! He was half teacher of all things Scottish (with a story for each one) and half father bringing the whole bunch of 35 of us together as a family not just a bus tour group. Lotta fun!

Try and see. - I was not very fond of a bossy military tone of the guide. And ABBA remix on highlands tour truly blew the brains out. But apart from than the tour was gretat. We managed to see, admire and experience historical places, beautiful landscapes and unforgetable memories of Scotland. Great option if you are not willing to plan and explore all by yourself.

Amazing Isle of Skye Excursion! - Our 2 guides were incredible: Phil who is full of anecdotes and an incredible storyteller, and Lynn who is an excellent driver and very friendly The highlight of this excursion was day 2 on the Isle of Skye which started very early and finished late thanks to them and where you were amazed! It was magical ! Day 1 was a bit disappointing where it was a constant rush, unnecessary stops in my opinion 30min at the Kelpies but 10min at Glencoe (basically just to take a photo) and in a rush because you had to be on time for a boat tour on Loch Ness which was nice but not amazing... Some views from the bus like the castle used in GoT and Outlander non-stop... And day 3 consisted of stops on the way back to Edinburgh at several paid sites: museum, distillery, etc... To sum up, we had a great time with good company but we would have preferred to have 2 days or 1 day and a half in Skye which is filled with breathtaking landscapes. Days 1 and 3 did not live up to our expectations.

Great your bad guide - It was a great tour, in 3 days we saw a lot. The driver was a great driver and also was our guide. His name was Rod, be liked to intimidate everyone and would stand and be very aggressive with people. He thought it was funny to crank up the music and make noises with his mic. He did have great knowledge but also liked to ramble on about nothing. He should stick to driving and let someone else be the guide. If it was for him I would say the tour was 10. Avoid Rod
