The outstanding beauty of the scenic highlands, the mysterious Loch Ness all brought alive by Brian’s historical tales and music choices. We had a fantastic trip and would highly recommend.

This was an absolutely amazing day! Brendan is just phenomenal and every detail was great. We had me, my husband 22 and 19 year old son and everyone of us enjoyed the day. We would do again Be a good traveller: Have cash for a tip - and be considerate 15% should be base. So many were rude on this it was embarrasing Be on time Positive: Scenery - great way to experience Scotlan Stories from Brendan to keep the day moving during drive time Coach was very comfortable Many stops along the way and a bathroom if needed on bus Negative: If you have people on your bus that don't respect timelines it throws off the day and is quite disrespectful and puts other passengers and driver ina bad spot - please resepect - we had one of these and it was sooo annoying! Brendan did all he could to manage but ughhhh! Important to know: Bus has USB ports - we wish we knew this as it is a very long day and phone charging can help for pictures.

Our driver, Brendan, was very entertaining. Each stop allowed adequate time to enjoy the location. The boat tour at Loch Ness was good , not great. I would have regretted not doing it though. The scenery along the route is breathtaking and several stops are built in for photo ops. The last stop was a Hairy Coo photo op and a perfect way to end a fabulous day. I highly recommend this tour.

Our tour was absolutely worth the money. 13 hours of traveling in total with numerous stops and tons of history. I would recommend this tour to absolutely anyone. The tour guide Brendan was extremely nice and very knowledgeable. Probably the best tour guide I’ve ever had, and I’ve been on 50+ bus tours!

sondraw379

Between the sights and the commentary this tour rates 5 stars! Brendan was our tour guide. He has a great sense of humor and shares his knowledge of Scotland with all who will listen. We were easily one of the first busses to all the major stops. He safely spead us down the road for a full 12hours. Highly recommend 👌

Great tour, beautiful experience and very fun, entertaining guide Brenden. The highlight of the trip was seeing Loch Ness & the highland cows. Loch Ness is an extra 20 pounds but worth every penny!

A big thank you to Brendan for being a wonderful host and tour guide. My partner and I were heavily looking forward to this experience, and we are so pleased to say that it exceeded our expectations. Brendan was full of knowledge, witty and great company. We’ll be back!
