Noel was a fantastic guide. Our 12+ hour Highlands tour was more than we could have hoped for. Noel was highly knowledgeable, flexible and, most importantly, a great guy who was easy to talk with. We are looking forward to our next trip to Edinburgh and will definitely use Noel and Bonnie Scotland Tours.

We had a great day exploring the Highlands. Graham was our guide and gave us suggestions on customizing our day. We wanted to explore some off the beat locations and he didn't dissappoint. He was very knowledgeable and even provided a whiskey tasting!

Shannon_K

This was, by far, the best tour I've ever been on in my life. Noel planned the best itinerary for our 2 day tour and executed it flawlessly. His knowledge of history was the best added bonus. Noel also stocked up on some amazing snacks and drinks along the journey that made it even more special for my husband and I. I wish there were an option to add more stars because 5 isn't enough. Noel, thank you so much for this experience and it was so nice getting to know you for a few days!! We can't wait to come back and tour with you again!

Nathan, our tour guide, led us on a one day adventure that we will never forget. First class all the way from pickup right outside our accomadation in a vehicle that comfortably sat the five of us. The large windows made viewing the countryside easy. A large selection of snacks and drinks were also available as part of the trip. Now on to the trip ... It is hard to see the highlands in one day but the tour masterfully allowed us to see many highlights from castles, to the Kelpies. Wallace Monument, Loch Ness, and much more. We also stopped to feed Scottish Highland Cows. We had lunch in Scottish Bothy and it was delicious. Twelve hours might seem a long time for a tour but we stopped every hour or so and as we drove Nathan entertained us with the history of Scotland. The time flew. I highly recommend this tour.

Nathan was an excellent tour guide; very knowledgeable and accommodating. We learned a lot and enjoyed beautiful scenery. Terrific day!

Kimberly_S

The countryside was beautiful and our guide Nathan was a wealth of information on Scottish history. He was also incredibly kind and accommodating on our private tour.

John our driver and guide was great. He had a good sense of humor and gave us a lot of history and information on the areas we visited. Although I liked the areas we saw, it felt like too much time on the bus. And if you weren't sitting in the window seat it was pretty much impossible to get any decent photos from the bus.

Raja_K

Highly professional excellent knowledge amazing experience unforgettable trip Graham was an exceptional guide

William_K

Nathan was an awesome guide who shepherded the 5 of us around the highlands and got us back in time for dinner. He prepared us for sites with a depth of historic lore, good humor, and delicious snacks/breaks. We fully intend to return to the highlands on a much larger trip, and this single day helped us solidify where we’d like to focus that itinerary in the future. Thank you!

Noel was a likeable and very knowledgeable tour guide. I strongly recommend this tour and this particular tour guide. Offered us a very distinct look at the Scottish highlands and Lochness. Will go back one day and will have the same tour with Noel. Francisco Dieguez
