It was an unforgettable experience. The stunning landscapes of rolling hills, lochs, and ancient castles were even more breathtaking than I had imagined. Our accommodations were comfortable and charming, providing a perfect blend of modern amenities and traditional Scottish hospitality. The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly our driver and guide, Neil. His extensive knowledge of the area, engaging storytelling, and warm demeanor made the tour both informative and enjoyable. Neil's expert navigation through the winding Highland roads and his thoughtful attention to our group's needs truly enhanced the overall experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the beauty of Scotland.

Neal was our very competent and personable driver/tour guide. He has a great sense of humor and wonderful people skills. He took our group’s interests and preferences into consideration by adding or varying lengths of the frequent stops and went out of his way to accommodate our needs and requests. Our room at the 3 Star B&B was tiny but adequate with good plentiful breakfasts.
There were 16 participants on our tour, the perfect size. The itinerary was full but not crowded and touched many of the destinations we had always wanted to visit and experience, beyond our expectations! Unfortunately the speaker system on our brand-new bus kept malfunctioning so the back of the bus missed parts of his comments but Neal handled this with grace and a lot of patience.

Our driver Hugh was spectacular! He went above and beyond to ensure we not only saw the beauty and heard the history of the Highlands, but helped us make a connection to the land and people. The people we met in our group were fabulous and along with Hugh, made for a trip of a lifetime. We HIGHLY recommend this tour

The pictures I've shared mean nothing, let me tell you a story instead:
Day One - morning started with rain, half the pax were moist...to our luck we got a beast of a guide - Alexander Guthrie (relative of Thomas Guthrie?), who made every raindrop into a decent joke (also - Glasgow ain't $@%...and England. Loch Tulla - the sky mirror of a lake is absolutely the major point.
Day Two - oh you wanted spoilers for this day 1? Nah, you need to see this. Fine - lakes (lochs) and mountains, whiskey if you're good.
Day Three is the same - nature....But it was AGAIN absolutely stunning. Castles? Stunning! Landscape - stunning! maybe even ice-cream (w/ whiskey).
Look, you will be very lucky to have Alex as a guide. But even if you don't - book it. It's legit good.
Commentary and jokes by Alex - give him a raise. And if you're lucky to push your bus out of a pit - great (not the word this website allows me to use). I wish I could share more info about all days, but you just need to sit your butt down and enjoy the trip.

Our guide/driver Jamie was delightful. Overall, a good way to pack in an overview of Scotland. Accommodations, however, were well below par. Good location In Inverness, but borderline shabby room. Could also have benefitted from from get-to know-you introductions at the start of the tour.

Tour was wonderful! Dave's our tour driver cum guide was very friendly and cracked suttle jokes. He was well informed. The bus however was not cleaned on a daily basis. So by the third day, the bus appeared quite shabby and messy. Also the sequence of the tour was altered greatly. Rest everything was good.
