My sister and I had a wonderful time on our 1 day tour. We had a short stay in Edinburgh and the tour was the highlight of our trip. I asked if we would be stopping by a particular spot, and the guide said we don’t usually but we can swing by and take a quick photo. I felt so special with how accommodating she was (Georgie). The weather was perfect and the sights were even better. Must do tour if you’re in Edinburgh for a short time.
Georgie was our wonderful guide! She was friendly, interesting, and lots of fun. We also had a great group of people in our tour van. It was a beautiful day traveling to the Highlands, riding on a boat on Loch Ness, and seeing the breathtaking Glencoe. Highly recommend Georgie and this tour.
It is a long day trip with most of the time on road but we could see and check in most highlights of the Highlands of Scotland. Georgie is a great tour guide!
It was an amazing experience. The guide John was great. He knew little historical facts and trivial ones too that kept the trip pleasant. The van was excellent although I sat in back and my feet didn’t touch ground since I’m short and there were no foot rests. But it was band new and seats and A/c very comfortable. The music list was great and the stops were good. I think I was expecting a tour of the whiskey distillery but we did get a flight to sample and it was excellent. Overall it was fantastic.
This day trip is well worth the money. We took this trip mostly for the stop in Inverness and Loch Ness. However, the stop at the Hermitage was amazing even with the light rain we had while there. I also recommend taking the Loch Ness boat cruise. One item of note the itinerary states a stop at a fish and chips restaurant. We did not do this stop not sure if that was due to time or oversight.
A terrific guide & driver made all the difference * thanks for the stories and adventures Ritchie !
We had a wonderful time on our Glencoe, Loch Ness, Highlands tour with Richie. My family (aged 46-72) greatly enjoyed the trip. It was a perfect blend of easy walks, beautiful sites, local foods, and shopping. The Loch Ness cruise was a nice add-on that several people enjoyed. We instead had a leisurely dinner by the water and did some shopping. Richie had so many enjoyable stories to share about the area and the local legends. By far our favorite day on our trip.
Richie was a great guide! He was on time and very knowledgeable. The tour gave us time for lunch and we had some time to see some coos. I enjoyed all the stories and the stop for fish and chips was so good!! Highly recommend this tour company!
What a tour! We feel we got a well-rounded view, history recap, and glimpse of the culture of Scotland. Magnus was an incredibly personable and professional guide who kept an incredible amount of information interesting. We felt safe the entire time. Thank you!
If you’re looking for the perfect Loch Ness and Highlands adventure from Edinburgh, ask for Magnus! He was an excellent tour guide, incredibly knowledgeable about Scotland’s history, culture, myths, nature, and the breathtaking Highlands. We were lucky enough to catch one of the most incredible weather days, and Magnus made the experience unforgettable. He shared honest and fascinating stories about Scotland, including both the real history and the legendary myths surrounding Loch Ness and the Highlands. Magnus kept everything perfectly on time, drove safely and comfortably throughout the journey, and made every stop feel special. From the lochs of Scotland to the stunning scenery of the Highlands, his passion and knowledge truly brought the country to life. Highly recommend this tour and especially Magnus if you want an authentic Scottish adventure!
