2-Day Highlands and Loch Ness Tour from Edinburgh

Posted By : Traveler39009453279
The bus driver and guide was good, he explained everything very good and took all the schedules really seriously. The bus was very uncomfortable with very little room for legs and we expended long time on it, the stops were very short, the tour in general wasn't bad, the ferry in the loch Ness is useless, you can see the lake from shore as there is nothing else but water and mountains to see there, beautiful views anyway. I wouldn't do it again but I guess everyone have to live their own experience.

Andy is amazing!
I'm a fan of guided tours. I'm also a fan of smaller group convos. In all my years traveling this was one of my favorite guided tours. Andy was Personable, patient, but also very informative and funny. The stress of wrangling strangers, on vacation, while also driving and navigating a schedule is a very challenging task and Andy made it all seem super smooth. He kept our group on schedule but still with enough time to explore each stop. The amount of time driving compared to sights to see felt well balanced. Our lodging was also really good given the price and location. Andy made sure we got into ft augustus still with enough time to grab dinner and gave us tons of information to make our own decisions. Andy was such a sweetheart and next time I'm back in Scotland I hope to book with him as my guide again.

i have to put a 5 Star review for tour driver Steven B, the best tour guide. Good stories and information about Scotland, nice and funny, good musique

But I regret the fact that the Loch Ness and castle tour are not included. You have to had 27 pounds per person or stay in on hôtel for 2 hours.
As you have to pays on cash the bus is a 15 minute stop for you to go get some cash and spend it on a silly thing to have a right amont on cash to give the bus driver. Also too many pipi and shopping stop for people that are not coming back in Time, so WE have to wait for them. We Lost 30 minutes for that ... Tour started at 8 am and finishies at 9pm because of people with no respect, too bad ...
I better organisation of Highland tour guide is necessary. The five stars are only for the driver Amazing job

Exciting and fun tour! Lots of history, tradition, English humor and impressive landscapes. Nestor, our guide, made the tour very lively and filled breaks with traditional music. But there weren't many breaks as there was so much to discover!

The trip along Loch Ness was great but unfortunately a bit short.

I can really recommend the tour!!!

Highly recommended tour. In my opinion, this tour managed to fit some of the most beautiful gems of the Highlands in just 1 day! We really enjoyed every single place we visited and considered that the time given to explore was reasonable. Our driver/guide, Joe, was very professional, friendly and with great sense of humour; made the long journey quite enjoyable :)
We would repeat! Lucia

Scotland is pure heaven on earth, and to add to it, the tour guide Andy was equally amazing and made the trip outstanding with the way he was describing about the history and details of various locations that we covered and the Scottish music tracks that he was playing were amazing. Scottish people are extremely warm and friendly people. All in all, it was a great experience.

I had an amazing time! It was a wonderful experience. Our guide Steven B was very knowledgeable and always tried to keep a good spirit and environment. The van was comfortable, clean. The accommodation was great ( I stayed at the bank B&B) the host was incredibly nice, friendly and sweet, the breakfast was on time and delicious. I really don't have anything negative to say. It was one of the best tours I had. Very organized and everything on time... The places we visited were breath taken, you won't regret it.

The bus was in good condition, our Driver James was an experienced driver, polite, knowledgeable and well versed in the history of Scotland. However, he did not follow the itinerary and could have organized the trip better. key stops on the tour like visit to Distillery & some castle tours were omitted as they were not planned ahead of time which was disappointing.

This day tour is the best way to explore the beautiful and scenic highlands of Scotland and the Loch Ness all in one day. Our tour guide, Steven B, entertained us with background stories, music and history to understand the contexts of the places we were visiting and driving by. It was very entertaining and would definitely recommend.
