Loch Ness and the Highlands Small Group Day Tour from Edinburgh

Our tour guide was lackluster at best. In what he thought was a comedic manor Andy proceeded to give half facts and half made up stories. Instead of feeling that we had spent the day at Learning we spent the day analyzing whether things were correct and accurate. In additio, tree n the bus driver meandered off course several times stopping at irrelevant sites for photos rather than at historic landmarks. Additionally the tour itself was very boring. We spent more time on the bus than we did at sites. Because things close early in Edinburgh there were limited options, only worsened by Covid I’m sure. That left us with one or two options to eat for breakfast and lunch. Those places had very make simple items such as sausage rolls which were really plain bread and a sausage in between. It was disappointing all around I would recommend anyone save their money and adventure at their own risk. Finally come there is a mandate for all passengers to wear their mask throughout the day while on my the vehicle, the guide did not. And never explained if he were vaccinated or tested..

Seeing a lot of beautiful sightseeings Active and energetic tourguide Travelling with friends Great and great

The trip has exceeded my expectations, our guide, Kevin (I could not memorise his name's exact spelling in Gaelic) was sharing very interesting facts about Scotland also he had amazing knowledge of history what he was demonstrating throughout the whole trip. Long day, but plenty of stops, so don't worry about that. Most definitely recommended!!!

Kevin our guide was fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly and all round nice man, the trip itself was brilliant, I’m so glad we did it and enjoyed the day

We booked the Highland day trip through Viator and they did not specify on the ticket which tour company we would be traveling with. Subsequently, at the meeting place I had to go to each tour operator to find out if we were in their group. Unfortunately our guide, Scott with Heartland a Scotland, was late and last bus to arrive. I picked the small group tour to limit exposure to Covid and the assurance they were taking precautions. All the passengers were required to wear a mask on the bus, but our tour guide did not and had his pulled down. At our first stop an hour into the trip, I had to ask him to please wear it properly while on the bus. Scott stated he could not because it causes his glasses to fog! Fortunately I had an anti-fog wipe that I gave him to coat his glasses. Much to his credit he did wear his mask the remaining 11 hours. I was astonished that the tour company had not made provision for drivers who wear glasses to see safely while wearing a mask. It was an interesting ride through the highlands but very few quick stops to see things. Scott was hard to understand and did not provide as much Scottish history as I had expected. I would recommend to a friend to skip a done day trip and take a two day trip to the Highlands to see things properly.

We had the wonderful Helen as our tour guide / driver, the fact she managed both things whilst keeping us entertained was incredible. She was extremely welcoming, attentive and full of wonderful, amusing stories that allowed us to see some of the beautiful highlights that the highlands have to offer. It’s a very short tour to see some beautiful sites, well worth doing especially if you are short on time to see everything.

Very beautiful place to visit. The tour guide was so kind and knowledgable. The price was fair as well.

Our tour guide Euan Alexander was brilliant, very informative with the commentary, minibus was very comfortable, large windows to take in the stunning views. Plenty of photographic & refreshment stops along the way. And he even got us the tickets for the cruise on Loch Ness. A fantastic day out and the weather was great.

Our guide Keith was excellent, he kept us all well informed and amused, my wife was delighted to win the very large bottle in the quize, still has a wee hangover.

Amazing day trip with the very knowledgable and friendly Kieth. A 12 hour bus trip may sound daunting but there were so many stops it didn't feel like long at all! I Couldn't recommend it enough: book your tickets now!!!
