It was a lovely day…so much to see and we had a an unusually beautiful sunny day in Scotland!! We highly recommend this tour!!

An easy 6 on a scale of 1-5. The tour gave us great insight into the history of Scotland and in particular the Inverness area. The tour guide (Murdoch) was maybe the best guide we have ever encountered in our many travels. Extremely knowledgeable and entertaining at the same time. Left us wanting more at the end of the day. Tremendous story teller. 100% recommend this tour with WOW tours if the opportunity arises.

On a Princess cruise. This day trip was great. Our guide was Murdock who works for this small family owned business. Modern bus with ac and usb ports.
Murdock was very entertaining, extremely helpful, and accommodating. He provided historical information that helped bring meaning to the various stops. Not a typical drop iff and explore on your own, he actually went onto the battlefield and cairns to provide information and answer questions. At castle and Loch Ness he was around to support as needed. In Inverness, he provided personal recommendations but stayed with the bus.
Great tour, great price. As our first time to Scotland, this was a great excursion!

Murdoch was wonderful. Our 5th cruise in 2 years. By far our best tour director. Knowledgeable, funny. Always coming across as genuine. Passengers back early to interact more with him. Wonderful!

AWSOME Highlands tour with WOW Scotland. Andrew our tour guide was very informative and a great story teller. Anyone can taxi you around to all the major sites but it’s the personal touch that Andrew gave u that made this tour great

This is the most wonderful company with the most wonderful guides!! You will love this adventure, I promise!
Andrew was amazing. He had so much knowledge to share and wonderful stories to tell and jokes to make. He was so fun and caring and interactive. He will also surprise you with lots of "extras". By far, this was the BEST tour I've ever taken!!

We had a short day to spend in the area and this was the BEST way to do it! Pick up from our cruise ship was easy and well-communicated by Gordon and our guide, Murdoch, was absolutely incredible! We saw SO much and learned even more about the beautiful region and its history. Murdoch was engaging, insightful, and accommodating— we couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better day!

Thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Rob. He was very knowledgeable not only about the sites we visited but also well versed in both the history and folklore of Scotland. A great story teller as well a great guide. Tour was very well organized from start to finish!!

Excellent, informative guide (Gordon) and multiple great destinations..
Had a great time, wish I could spend more time in Scotland!

Bus drivers easy to find off ship. The bus itself was very comfortable. Great sights to see, especially for Outlander fans. Enjoyed the wee dram of whisky on the shore of Loch Ness. Our tour guide/driver Andrew was excellent. He told captivating stories while driving that really brought the history of Scotland to life. Highly recommend!
Michael_H, Jul 2023
Rob was a great guide full of interesting history and very good at taking off the beaten path. So glad we had this tour of the Hoghlands!
Dusty_O, Jul 2023
We had the pleasure of being on the Loch Lomand tour with Andrew. We really enjoyed this tour. We loved that the tour was divided up into two busses allowing for a smaller tour expereience. Andrew was a great tour guide with a perfect sense of humor. But most importantly, Andrew was a master story teller and the way he provided the information was informative and engaging. We will happily recommend Discover Scotland tours.
