Overall it was a packed and wonderful tour of the Highlands.
Tom was really fun on this trip. He gave us a lot of information and made us laugh at the same time.We visited a lot of places but I wish we had more time at Glenfinnan. Overall it was a wonderful,packed tour of the Highlands.
We had a wonderful experience
We had a wonderful experience. Our driver Tom was polite and funny and informed us about the history of scotland and the fights of the clans. It was very entertaining and infomative. We felt always safe in the bus, which was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed it very much, even my 15 years old son. Thanks for this nice day

Tom made the experience great because of his nice character.
He gave us information on the familys and clans which used to live there
must add this to your Edinburgh itinerary
Michael was an amazing guide! He made us feel welcome with his witty humor and kind demeanor. I was worried all the information about the places we visited would be overwhelming but he interjected historical fun facts and stories with a playlist that made us feel like we were in a music video!
The tour had plenty of stops:
1. Breakfast and bathroom break
2. Feeding the highland cows
3. Glencoe
4. Commando Monument
5. Loch Ness
6. Food & bathroom break
It was well spaced out so we never stayed on the bus for too long and got to enjoy all the pit stops.
Highly recommend to add to your itinerary and what a steal for that price!
Perfect tour!
Booked the tour looking for something different that would show us sights we wouldn’t necessarily see with a few days in Edinburgh. What we got was nothing short of amazing; really comfortable bus, great stops with good amounts of time, incredible local history and even top tips when arriving at different places.
Perfect through all weather, which we got many on our travels!
Michael absolutely made the day for us, and we thoroughly enjoyed his commentary and vibe! A massive thank you to him!🦈
Would absolutely recommend for all!

We had an amazing experience on the Highlands tour with Ryan and Ian. They did an outstanding job from start to finish — both were incredibly friendly, energetic, and engaging. They shared fascinating stories and details throughout the journey, making every stop even more special. You could really feel their passion and knowledge, which made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Great Hairy Coos and Blackness castle tour with our guide Frasier and driver John. Was much more than expected and full of great information, music, and laughs. Thank you for a great, memorable day!
Great views with amazing guide!
Niel was great fun! He told some very interesting stories about important characters in Scotland's history while showing us the most amazing views we've ever seen. He had the patience of a saint with some issues that happened during our tour (someone forgot their belongings in a previous stop and he managed to get them back in less than 15 minutes and still got us in time to all of our stops for the day). I 100% recommend this tour if you're a Harry Potter and nature fan, and I wish you get to do it with Niel as well.

I had the BEST TIME EVER!!
I had the BEST TIME EVER!!! No seriously, this tour took me to spots that made me completely and utterly fall in love with Scotland, was overwhelmed by the beauty of the highlands the whole time. Not only that, but i truly believe that my experience wouldn’t have been the same without Fraser!! Amazing storyteller through and through, from Mary queen of Scots to Robert De Bruce, every tale told by him made me feel like I was experiencing the history events myself. Oh boy, Fraser is an artist and a passionate one!
300% recommending this tour, you HAVE to do it if you’re in Edinburgh. (P.S: we for to see hairy coos as well yay!!)
