Jam packed day full of amazing sights that Scott would stop for, and let us know when and where to point our cameras. Lots of small, pleasant bonuses like pulling over to get pictures of highland cows. Scott was energetic, hilarious, knowledgeable, and kept a good schedule. Would definitely recommend.

This was by far the best experience! Hats off to Scott, for making us laugh for 11.5hrs straight, taking us to the best places, and sharing every bit of information each step of the way. Thank you, we will be booking with you again! Love from Cyprus, Mr. and Mrs. Marley😆

Super nice and knowledgeable guide who perfectly blended the tour information with an excursion into the scottish music scene, giving additional information about it and playing it on the bus! Thank you, great day! In winter no sightseeing points during the return from Loch Ness to Glasgow due to the early sunset. That should be mentioned in the description.
