The day trip was packed... The driver kept explaining things to us and even wore a Scottish coat... so very Scottish! I was so happy to join this trip... Everyone was fantastic... A wonderful trip... I would definitely recommend it to everyone.

Colin is an excellent guide driver. Attentive, friendly, told a lot of interesting information. The weather was sunny and slightly frosty, and it was very warm and comfortably in the vehicle.

Enjoyed the best possible tour of the Scottish Highlands with an incredibly knowledgeable guide. From the beginning of the tour up until the very end, Gary explained in-depth the history behind some of the most iconic buildings, landmarks and historic venues as we explored deep into Loch Lomond, Glencoe and Loch Ness. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and beautiful leaving us in awe at every stop. Witnessing the St Augustus lock gates designed by Thomas Telford, one of the most renowned Civil Engineers of the 18th century and the first ICE president was just inspirational for me. The tour was an all-round success and good value for money. Highly recommend the Scottish Highlands Tour particularly with Gary!

A nice overview of the area (don't expect to go anywhere deep or stay for long). The only thing that would be great to include is visiting a farm with coos. Oh, and a long stop at a souvenir shop was too much, a waste of time really—better return to the town faster. The driver was great, though. John was the name.

If there was a way to give Tony 10 stars we would. He was the perfect host for our day in the highlands. The stories were amazing. The extra photo stops really added to our day.
Tony always greeted us with a smile. Learning the history of Scotland was exactly what we were hoping for. The village of Fort Augustus was beautiful. We enjoyed walking around and seeing the locks. Loch Ness was stunning. Even if we didn’t see Nessie.
On our way back to Glasgow we stopped at Perthshire and saw some hairy highland coos. A spectacular end to our trip. We highly recommend this day long adventure. It is well worth the money.
Response from Host, Nov 2025

This experience was amazing. I enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Highlands and Loch Ness. My tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and the experience included transportation to and from Glasgow. Visiting and feeding cows in the Highlands was a cherry on top of the experience!

Guide was wonderful with a thick accent! He even wore a kilt. Patient and kind. Knowledgeable about the area we traveled to. I went on a different tour the day before and this one was hands down the best!!
