“Keith is an amazing guide and driver, who is also very funny and quite knowledgeable about the history of Scotland. I really enjoyed how he incorporated stories told to him by his grandfather into tour. He made the 12+ hour tour entertaining and fun, especially for someone like me who loves to learn about history. It was an amazing tour. History with an extra helping of Harry Potter, my favorite pastime, and Glenfinnan Viaduct along with the Jacobite Steam train. Amazing experience!!”

“It's a very on schedule and compact trip. I like we accomplished so many things in one day :) Shug our driver guide was amazing with his tour and driving. Everything was very smooth. The only thing I would wish a little bit different was that viewpoint for the bridge at Glenfinnan Viaduct - we did not see the curve part of the bridge when the train arrived, just the straight part, as we didn't know we needed to go to another viewpoint which is further away. We didn't know which way to go as we were not accompanied to the viewpoint (I did remember we're told there were different…”

“We were fortunate to have Wee Davie as our guide and bus driver. He was a great storyteller and we learned quite a bit of Scottish history from him. He kept us entertained with puns and jokes as he took us to some beautiful Scottish scenery. He also skillfully drove the bus down those narrow Scottish roads. At photo stops he took photos of several couples and groups to help them document their vacation. His scheduled stops gave us sufficient time to investigate the places we visited. We really enjoyed feeding the Highland Coos. Finally, he gave us a contest quiz near the end of the day and the winner…”
A 12-hour Highlands day trip from Edinburgh with Glencoe Valley, Loch Ness and Fort Augustus, Ben Nevis views, plus Pitlochry and return by Forth Bridge.
“I’ll start with a positive: The Scottish Highlands are stunning! Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful! Do not miss them. But avoid Loch Ness Bus, they are cheaper than the other tour operators but it’s not worth saving that little money. Shell out the extra £10-20. It’s a very long day and your tour operator matters. Here’s why I don’t recommend them: Chaotic & disorganised departure in the morning that was delayed by half an hour because they had overbooked and there were more people on the bus than there were seats. The whisper device they handed out did not work for me and many other people. The guide was inaudible even at…”

“Nick was a wonderful guide, sharing a lot of interesting facts while being funny.
