We couldn%u2019t have been more satisfied with our Lochness tour, it was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Our experience centered around our awesome tour guide Leo, who was knowledgeable, hilarious, enthusiastic and so darn proud of his Scottish heritage! We got a wonderful day of sunshine, history and the highland beauty! Absolutely the best and highlight so far on our Scotland vacation!

Pros: Scotland is beautiful and you get a chance to see the lowlands, highlands, mountains, fields, sheep, coos, lochs, and castles. Lots of history and knowledgeable tour guides to talk you through it Time to get out and stretch your legs Lots of food stops Cons: No bathroom on the bus and many stops are spent in line for the bathroom with not much time to explore The bus is hot and very uncomfortable for 12 hours The whisper devices (receivers) to hear the tour guides are really bad (old, broken, falling apart, and cheaply made). Not guaranteed to sit with your party Unorganized way to get sorted onto the bus My Experience: The site said to meet at 7:30am. When we got to the bus and they had boarded everyone first come first served. People didn't sit together with their parties either. There were groups where everyone sat in a window seat so strangers had to sit next to them. I found this really frustrating because it was just me and my brother and we should have been able to sit together, but there was no seat selection for the bus. I don't understand why they didn't fill the bus from front to back (or back to front). There were supposed to be headphones on the seats to plug into the devices we listened to our tour guide on. I don't know why they didn't give us head phones with the listening devices. The people sitting next to me took my headphones before I even arrived so I didn't have headphones. I tried to get my tour guide's attention, but he didn't pay attention to me. The guy next to me finally gave me my headphones back once he realized why there were headphones on the seat. Then there was a test to make sure the listening devices work, but mine didn't work and the tour guide never came to check on me in the back of the bus to see if the test worked. So for an hour I had no tour. The bus was really hot. They had the heat on and I was sweating and getting nauseous. My brother eventually flagged the tour guide down and told him that my listening device wasn't working and we tried a couple more that were also broken until we got one that worked. It was not the best impression of this company. Anyway the views out the window were beautiful. I couldn't wait to get off of the bus to see the sights and get fresh air. The first stop had bathrooms, cows, and sheep, and a gift shop. This was the only stop that felt like it had an appropriate amount of time devoted to it. Every other stop felt very rushed. Getting back on the bus was rough because it was back to sitting in a hot bus and now everyone around me had apparently been smokers so they all smelled badly of cigarette smoke. The next stop was at the highlands where there was a guy playing bag pipes. It was a 15 minute stop. There was a line (or queue) for pictures in a particular spot and there wasn't enough time to get everyone through the line. It felt rushed. The view was beautiful and I did get photos that I think are good. Getting back on the bus was more of the same, hot and smelly. Then the next stop was at Loch Ness. The drive up there was pretty. There is not enough time to do everything at loch ness. We could eat and go on the boat and then back to the bus. There wasn't enough time to go through all the gift shops and there wasn't enough time to really explore the menus. Whatever the first restaurant was that you stopped at you better eat there. Then we got on the boat and I was so overwhelmed with the day that I was struggling to have a good time. I stood next to the engines to try my best to get away from people and too many sounds. Don't ask me why the engine noise was calming, but it was. The view on the lake was so pretty. I saw salmon jumping out of the water and the air felt so clean. The mountains looked gorgeous all around the lake. It was a really nice boat ride. The bathroom was broken on the boat so that was not super fun. Then we rushed back to the bus again. The next stop was a war memorial. I know Scottish history seems to be filled with wars and the commandos seem like a real elite fighting force, but this stop felt out of place for the rest of the tour. It was a really nice tribute to fallen soldiers, but it also felt like I would have rather spent that time at any of our other stops not being rushed. Another long journey and we went to a small town. There was enough time to go to a dam and back. Lots of people chose to get ice cream instead. The dam was really pretty and was nice to be secluded away from everyone else. There wasn't time to also use the bathroom or get ice cream. Basically the choice was go to the dam and that is it, or do ice cream and use the bathroom before being rushed onto the bus again. We finally made it back to Edinburgh. Overall I was happy I went up to the highlands and that I had a tour guide, but I wondered if it would have been better to travel up there by train and look for local guides there. I would recommend this trip if you are in Edinburgh for a very short time and can't make it up to the highlands for very long. There is a lot of history explained on the tour and our guide was really good (when I could hear him). The bus was uncomfortable but the stops always made it feel worth it. I hope this company replaces the listening devices with a different brand because those were awful.

The tour was fantastic! Leo was incredibly friendly and his commentary was interesting, engaging, and funny. The locations were all beautiful. The only way it could have been improved was if we had been able to spend more time at each location, it always felt a little rushed. Highly recommended tour
