That was kind of a tour, when U see almost everything but nothing close and in details. Taking into account a vast observation area that was accessible.

Long ride.
Marisol_G
, Aug 2020
A very long ride, with no time to enjoy Glencoe and the Highlands, literally not more than 5 minutes in each site, not time to walk around or breathe fresh air. The whole journey was too tiring, didn't expecting to be sitting in the car for nearly the whole 12 hours. At the end of the tour you are left wondering if it was worth it. The good points: Garry, our tour guide, he tried his best to keep us entertained and well during this long, long journey, under the COVID circumstances. The boat ride, it was a breathtaking experience. The scenery. My advice, if you really want to enjoy nature and the scenery, divide your visit in two journeys.

Dear Marisol, I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your Loch Ness tour as much as you had hoped. This is the most demanding tour we offer, at over 12 hours of touring, and as such we do mention this to customers at the time of booking. I would, however, like to point out that you are not entirely truthful in your review - we spend much longer than 5 minutes at each stop. At Loch Ness, you get approximately 90 minutes to enjoy the scenery, take a boat tour and relax! We spend around 45 minutes for lunch in Fort William, 45 minutes in Pitlochry and other stops along the way too, such as Glencoe. I feel perhaps a 2 day Loch Ness tour may have been more to your taste. Or perhaps a shorter, more relaxed Loch Lomond tour. I do hope that despite the disappointment you enjoyed seeing more of Scotland. Kind regards, Amy

Amazing Highlands

Excellent tour guide Jim who was very knowledgeable and friendly. The coach was new and spotlessly clean. A great trip if you’re only staying in Edinburgh as the highlands are amazing. Take the boat trip when you get to Loch Ness, well worth it.
