If you want a 12 plus hour road trip with you as the passenger with breathtaking views, Scottish folk music, and local legends brought to life, then this is the tour for you! Harrison, our guide, told tales of giants and fairies, introduced us to local folk bands that sing in gallic and pointed out local landmarks, hills and mountains. With plenty of stops to take photos and get refreshments, there's plenty to see and do. Travelling at the side of Loch Ness, a visit to a castle and then on to the Isle of Skye with its very dramatic scenery. Even though it was raining at times, it didn't matter, as you were on the bus and it didn't take anything away from the trip. A fantastic way to see Scotland.

Fabulous day out with an informative and entertaining commentary from our guide and driver Sonia. The scenery was made even more spectacular by the changeable weather (4 seasons in 1 day. Love the stories of myths and legends. The stories were also well supported by an array of Scottish music also provided by the talented Sonia. Very comfortable bus with a very capable driver.

I really enjoyed the tour. It is just so relaxed to watch the amazing nature from the bus and having a sunshine Sonia telling you mysteries and stories. We visited so many places, especially on the Isle of Skye and Sonia made always sure that we had enough time to walk around and take pictures. I still cannot get over the massive mountains and cliffs! It was really awesome :)

Sonia was a great guide! Be sure to bring layers for whatever the weather is. One stop may be hot while the next is raining or gusty. The 2nd to last stop has 3 waterfalls so don’t miss it, it was my favorite part of the trip.
