Amazing trip with the bagpiping Hugh, our guide - It was an amazing one day trip, many many thanks to Hugh, our guide and driver, he was absolutely fantastic, very funny, very friendly and doing his best to make us feel good on the trip. Not to mention the moment when in the middle of a spectacular scenery in Glencoe, he sang to us with his pipe. We highly recommend Hugh and Highlands Experience!

The experience was unforgettable - The experience was unforgettable – we had a great driver, Alex, and our guide, Charlie. Even if you knew nothing about Scottish history, geography, etc., you learned almost everything on this trip. True, the weather wasn’t the best, but in a way, that gave us an authentic Highlands experience. Since there were enough of us to fill the whole bus and the stops were short, I recommend sitting near the front – a few minutes of your stop are already gone by the time you get off the bus – if you are in the front is just enough for a quick breath of the place and a toilet break. This might be the only criticism we had of the trip. We were traveling as a family and ended up spending a bit too much time in the restrooms at almost every stop. We would have appreciated an earlier departure in the morning to make the most of the places we passed and potentially to visit briefly. We understand the distances were long and challenging to cover in one day – but we believe it could still be done. We come from a country where some roads are in even worse condition, so we’re quite used to tough travel conditions! 😊

Highlands & Loch Ness Day Trip - What a beautiful trip to the Highlands, the weather was perfect and we looked for Nessie at Loch Ness. We enjoyed the antidotes and wee stories Steven B shared along the way.

day trip to Loch Ness and Glencoe - Our day trip to Loch Ness and Glencoe? Absolutely spectacular, and honestly, that's almost entirely thanks to our incredible guide, Terri. From the moment we pulled away, Terri just created the most amazing vibe on the bus. Her energy was infectious, and her love for Scotland shone through in every single word. But what really made Terri shine was her way with history. She didn't just list facts; she painted vivid pictures with her words, weaving captivating stories that brought Scotland's rich past right to life. We learned so much about the landscapes, the old legends, and those huge moments in Scottish history. It truly deepened our appreciation for every single place we stopped. Beyond her knowledge, Terri's personality was just brilliant. She was witty, charming, and you could tell she genuinely wanted everyone to have the best time. She created this warm, welcoming space, really encouraging us to ask questions and fostering a lovely sense of camaraderie among everyone on the bus. Her thoughtful little touches and great humor made the long journey fly by. Thanks to Terri, our day wasn't just about seeing Loch Ness and Glencoe; it was an unforgettable adventure packed with laughter, fascinating discoveries, and simply breathtaking beauty. If you're hoping for a guide who'll make your Scottish trip truly special, Terri's your person – she's an absolute gem! And please, send my best to Rockie, that remarkable tree stubbornly growing straight from the rock. It perfectly captures the resilient spirit of Scotland!

Trip of a lifetime - Hugh, our guide (and now we feel, friend), could not have been any better! He was knowledgeable about all the sites and spent extra time making sure all in the group were engaged in the experience. He made the trip fantastic and we highly recommend him and this company to any hoping to have a trip of a lifetime. Don’t wait…sign up today!

Good tour to view Scottish Highlands in 1 day - Tour is good. Our guide Charlie is knowledgeable and funny. If there is limited time in Edinburgh, this is a good tour to take to view the beautiful sweeping Highlands landscape

Scenic tour from the bus only ! - Th tour guide Audrey was brilliant and kept us engaged. The locations were all brilliant. However we spent 10 hours out of 12 hours on the bus. So a scenic bus tour is best way to describe it. We had stops of 4 mins which is ridiculous to be honest and never allowed us to soak in the great locations even for a bit. So I was disappointed with the tour.
