From Inverness to the Hebredies
As the title suggests. Perfect day out. Spectacular views, sights, sea, lakes, mountains, plateaus, cliff edges, Islands of the hebredies, Castles and Gardens, Gin tasting. Amazing local resilience, foods, history about clans and battles, folklores, local friendliness and seals sightings. Top that with entertaining storytelling, myths and legends, lessons about Garlic and Scots history and its progressive language. Including perfect highlands weather from sun to rain to wind to clouds. A great first time highlands experience in one day.

Such a beautiful area,...
Such a beautiful area, and fun place to tour! Our tour guide, Andrew, was a wonderful storyteller, and it was fun to listen to his stories as we traveled along! The seats on the bus were quite cozy and small - which makes sense, since a small bus is much easier on those small winding roads. Still helpful to know it's a tight squeeze!

Scottish Highlands with Isle of Skye
It is a long day in the bus (12 hours) but WORTH IT! We had pretty clear skies, slight drizzle for a bit and then cloudy clear visibility. Lawrence was our tour guide and bus driver, he was fantastic! He shared wonderful stories and facts about the area and played traditional Scottish music. Bus has WiFi and plug-ins so my phone was charged all day. Beautiful beautiful Scottish Highlands especially Isle of Skye.

Loch Ness and Glenfinnan Viaduct Tour
This tour was amazing! Brendon took us to so many places from Loch Ness to Glenfinnan Viaduct, Mallaig, Fort Augustus and some beautiful beaches. We even made some unplanned stops which added to the experience. I’m so happy we got to see the famous Harry Potter train. On the road we saw so many sheep, highland cows, and alpacas and enjoyed the beautiful view of highlands. I would definitely recommend this experience.

Legends, Lochs, and Highland Magic
WOW!!! What an amazing experience today!! Our guide Peach was an incredible entertainer and storyteller, sharing her knowledge of Scotland’s legends in the most captivating way. The scenery on this tour is second to none: Eileen Donan Castle, town of Portree, Loch Ness, and our favorite Isle of Skye’s fairy pools. It was a long day that was broken up nicely with several stops and great photo opportunities.
I would encourage anyone looking for an incredible experience to book this tour! Again, Peach was fantastic and such a pleasure to have led our tour. By the end of the day, she had our entire van singing along to some great music! Thanks for the incredible memories!!

History and sites
Had a fantastic time on this tour learning and the history of each place visited. Our guide was attentive to everyone on board and ensured we all had a good day. Stand out was the battlefield of Culloden, its incredible how emotional the site still feels this many years after the battle. This was an incredible way to get out and see the sites

Do it!
It's a long day, but worth it. There was some confusion checking in ticket holders and putting them on the correct bus. The vans are comfortable and easy to get in and out. There were plenty of stops for photos. The narration, stories, and music were informative and entertaining. We enjoyed the day. The Scottish countryside is beautiful. Fish & Chips in Portree was the best we had on this trip.

Excellent day tour that hits all the highlights! Recommend Recommend
We had a lovely day with our fabulous tour guide Karen. She was fun and shared useful and interesting information. There were so many interesting stops and activities. Enjoyed the Loch Ness boat ride over to Urquhart Castle. The castle grounds were very neat to see and the film in the visitor center was informative. Next we went to Singleton distillery for a wee dram of whisky. Stopped in Beauly for delicious lunch and visit to the Pirory. Culloden Battle field with a separate paid tour was fascinating and sad. Ending the day was a stop to see the Clava Cairins, 4000 year old Bronze age stone circles and burial cairins. Well done day tour. Recommend to others.

5/5 - Highly Recommended
Karen, our tour guide, was phenomenal! The tour takes you along breathtaking scenery - along castles and lochs and everything in between. Karen did an excellent job of pointing out the scenery while also driving expertly, so that we didn’t have to worry about it. Bring a camera! There is so much to take in

It's a very chill ride....
It's a very chill ride. Takes you through the beautiful Loch Ness with stunning views of Urquhart Castle (my favorite part). It's nothing fancy, but for the price it's worth it. There is an interesting history audio that plays for part of the trip. You can sit inside or outside on the boat.

Can’t stop talking about it
Louise was amazing! (She should literally start a podcast with all the information she had!) This tour hit so many stops we didn’t even know we were going to stop at. The stories and history were amazing! Definitely bring a second pair of clothes (the weather varies).
