Absolutely amazing day out - Scott, our tour guide, was incredible! He made us all feel comfortable, and we had many great laughs. We also did lots of lovely extra stops on the way to Fort Augustus with many opportunities to take in the views and take photos. Scott also made sure to point out things along the way and told us about the history of the area. My favorite bit was all the information about the clans. This tour was so much more than we expected and we will be thinking about it for a very long time. Thank you so much!!!

Great day! - I loved the day! I went alone to Scotland and didn't want to drive, it allowed me to see the country and the Highlands.
We were a small group. And our driver (Max? March? I didn't hear right) was funny. He explained a lot of things. And he plays good music.

Wish we had more time - In 12 hours you travel all the way to Northern Scotland, which gives you a taste of the highlands without spending to much time at any one place. We wish we could have done a 3+ day trip to the highlands or Isle of Skye, but this teaser tour was what we could fit into the schedule. Rory did a great job of giving some background on the history and background of the various places we visited. For his first tour in several months it didn’t show, and he did a great job.
COVID precautions: the coach was small but so was the group size so every group was able to comfortably spread out without any concerns. We were also asked to stay masked the whole time on the coach.

Awesome Experience - This was my first tour of this kind and I absolutely loved it! I really enjoyed how organised it was. Our driver (Rich) was so knowledgeable, friendly and funny. It made the trip so worth it knowing all of the history as we went along.
I would definitely use the company again in the future

Extremely noisy day in the van - There is one two hour drive portion with no stops which might be pretty challenging for some. Otherwise the stops were adequate enough. The only really bothering issue was the extremely loud music in the van during the whole trip and the driver/guide trying to shout on top of the music. To be clear, it was entirely the choice of the driver and also in his control. Very hard to understand why it was so loud the whole time (I heard the same approach was used with another driver from another company also), especially when understanding the Scottish accent is difficult enough even when spoken slowly and without distractions. I enjoy loud music in many situations but having it for hours on end was too much and I needed to use my noice-canceling headphones to block out at least some of it. In addition I would’ve appreciated more information on the actual sights we were seeing, preferably told using clear English, instead of a thick Scottish accent the whole time. But all the sights we saw were beautiful and otherwise the day was totally doable with adequate possibilities to eat etc on the way.
