Overall wonderful experience. The nature in highlands is breathtaking. Very smooth and on time ride with the driver Sandra. Our tour guide Alec was very knowledgeable, friendly and funny. Highly highly recommended 👍🏻😊

Completely unprofessional service. Bus was left before we reached there. We did not even get a courtesy call. Also we got complete disrespectful customer care service. Avoid this tour service.

Bhakti_M

The trip was well-organized and friendly and we got enough time in each location for the photos and to explore

Our tour was canceled and we were informed the morning we arrived for the tour. We were told we could go on another tour and that they had our names. We walked over to that bus and they did not know who we were. However, the second bus coordinator arranged for us to take another, less expensive tour (56 pounds each - the original tour was 62 pound each, not a large difference but disappointing that no has contacted us regarding the difference in price and the amount we actually paid). The replacement tour and guides were excellent but the last minute changes were very disappointing. Our original tour was for Loch Ness, Glencoe and The Scottish Highlands Tour from Edinburgh. The tour provided us was Loch Lomond, Stirling Castle and the Kelpies.

Gretchen_S

The scenery was astoundingly beautiful. Our tour guide was a bit difficult to hear while on the bus. Most time was spent on the bus driving-one with wifi and a bathroom would suit this tour.

If you have limited time in Scotland then this is an excellent all day, one day tour into the highlands and on to Loch Ness. The coach was very comfortable and our local tour guide was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and kept us highly amused with his stories and quizzes . This is a must do tour from Edinburgh.

Stephen_A

We were very disappointed that we weren't told we would be using head sets. The quality of the head sets were not great, people around us were talking so we couldn't hear the info the guide was giving which is an important part of the tour. We felt like we drove a.lond g way for views since we were not able to hear the guide. We did talk to the guide at stops and he was knowledgeable and very nice. We have done tours with Viator in California, Pennsylvania, Boston, London and all were great. We did not get what we paid for with this tour

Alicia_D

This was a complete waste of money. I spent more time on the bus than actually seeing the highlands. I booked a tour in English but was on a bust with Italian and Spanish speaking people and was given a headset for the English that hardly worked. If you didn’t do the Loch Ness boat tour it was a complete waste. Fort Augustus has nothing there.

annette_p

The tour guide was really good but , unfortunately the bus broke down, so we were stranded for hours . The tour returned us back after 11:00pm and did not return us to the same area as stated in our itinerary. As a single women from out of the country I had no idea where I was , late at night. It was hands down the worst tour I’ve ever been on.

Janel_S

Our tour guide was amazing; friendly, well spoken, committed and so knowledgeable. We were always on time and the whole trip went off seamlessly. Of course the scenery stole the show ( magestic really- not to be missed) but the staff really made it enjoyable. And special shout out to our driver Sandra- she was solid!
