Loch Ness day out

John_D, Jul 2025

A great day out. Our guide and driver Roger was very knowledgeable. He even changed the itinerary slightly to avoid the crowds and we saw Cawdor Castle which was fascinating

Great tour!

Carlos_P, Jul 2025

We had a fantastic time touring with Johnny! He was not only an excellent and accommodating guide but also incredibly thoughtful — he even offered to take us to places that weren’t originally part of the tour, just to make our experience more special. To our surprise, Johnny is also a Scottish country singer! So if you enjoy a bit of country music while exploring, he’s your guy. The tour felt relaxed, fun, and personal from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Emil was a delightful driver - safe, friendly, and knowledgable. He was flexible with our itinerary and accommodating of an early departure. Would book again!

Not for history buffs

Christa_H, Jul 2023

Tour guide was very accommodating and kind. VW bus for transportation which was clean and comfortable. Great way to see the sites. If you are a history buff and wanting the history of the area, this is not for you. Basic transportation with nice conversation.

Johnny Rocks!

Richard_A, Mar 2023

Johnny was the utmost congenial person my wife and I have met in a long time. He is an asset to your team and he was fun doing this tour with us. He even told me a shop to get a Kilt from.
