Loch Ness and Culloden

Florence_G, Jul 2024

Gerry, our tour guide was exceptional. He made sure we saw everything we expected and more. He perfectly blended knowledge, professionalism and friendliness. Culloden was a very moving experience. I recommend this trip.

We managed to cover a huge distance in just one day. Our guide has been very nice, willing to accommodate all our needs, very cooperative and friendly. We highly recommend William for his great attitude and impeccable driving skills.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thank you Christina for the lovely review, we are pleased William looked after you all and allowed a great day. You certainly managed to see what Scotland has to offer on the Loch Ness Tour, even if Nessie did not make an appearance ! Thank you for your custom

Excellent!

Great trip! William is an excellent guide and driver. Thoroughly enjoyed his company. The view en route to Loch Ness was spectacular! The boat ride was relaxing and enjoyable.
