Best Tour to see Inverness/Loch Ness - Our experience was outstanding and our guide Laura was amazing. We were able to see all of the sites on our list, and even with a minor vehicle mishap, made it back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. Laura was amazing and kept a cool head during our mini crisis, and made our adventures very fun.

Great tour of the Highlands! - Our tour was so much fun. Not crowded into a tiny van. We had a great tour guide and driver. , Started in Inverness, headed to Urquhart Castle, stopped in Beauly and at the shaggy coo farm and finished with a small distillery tour at Singleton. Would have liked more time at Urquhart but we had to abide by the ship schedule. Didn't mind skipping the gift shop at Loch Ness as it is just a tourist trap, lol. Thank you, Thistle!

More than expected - I give this a 5 stars because of our tour guide Emma. She was full of information and because we were able to get started earlier than expected she added on another stop for the Outlander lover and when the tickets to the distillery were not at the time of the itinerary so we did the tasting and not the tour she added another additional stop for the Harry Potter lovers.

Great your of the Scottish Highlands - This was a fantastic trip and would highly recommend this trip to anyone going to Scotland! Our guide, Len, was amazing! He gave us the history of the area (Loch Ness, Urquhart and the Scottish Highlands) including fun stories to being the area alive. The side trip to see the highland cows (hairy coos) was a welcome surprise. The trip to the Singleton distillery was a highlight - great whisky and a really interesting tour! Len a very accommodating and tailored the trip to our interests. Take this tour and ask for Len as you're guide!

Good tour - Good tour. Fun and knowledgeable guide. We had changes to the itinerary, but it worked out except that we did not see Lock Ness. We could have used a little more time at the Dunrobin Castle.
