We had a blast! I’ll dream of the highlands for the rest of my life. Our tour guide, Charlie, was such a treat! She was so nice and very funny! She gave us nice tidbits of information on our drive up to Loch Ness and her playlist was wonderful! Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed.

An absolutely amazing tour Charlie was great, so informative, funny, and great at driving. Not to mention she pointed out every cute animal we saw on the way. The Scottish music was a fun bonus. All the places we stopped for bathroom or pictures were well planned and spaced out. Shout out to Charlie’s mum

Wow had a fantastic day!! Our guide was Noah. He was so knowledgable and made the day extra special. He went out of his way to ensure we had the best ever experience. We have learnt so much from all the amazing stories over the years. This was a birthday treat for my Mum whose family originated from Perth - she loved every minute of it. We would highly recommend it to anyone.
