Well worth the money

4.00This day trip is well worth the money. We took this trip mostly for the stop in Inverness and Loch Ness. However, the stop at the Hermitage was amazing even with the light rain we had while there. I also recommend taking the Loch Ness boat cruise. One item of note the itinerary states a stop at a fish and chips restaurant. We did not do this stop not sure if that was due to time or oversight.
Terrific day spent with a great guide and great drive! Thanks kindly to Ritchie who came in on a day off and was STELLAR

5.00We had a wonderful time on our Glencoe, Loch Ness, Highlands tour with Richie. My family (aged 46-72) greatly enjoyed the trip. It was a perfect blend of easy walks, beautiful sites, local foods, and shopping. The Loch Ness cruise was a nice add-on that several people enjoyed. We instead had a leisurely dinner by the water and did some shopping. Richie had so many enjoyable stories to share about the area and the local legends. By far our favorite day on our trip.
We went looking for Nessie and found the coos instead

5.00Richie was a great guide! He was on time and very knowledgeable. The tour gave us time for lunch and we had some time to see some coos. I enjoyed all the stories and the stop for fish and chips was so good!! Highly recommend this tour company!

5.00What a tour! We feel we got a well-rounded view, history recap, and glimpse of the culture of Scotland. Magnus was an incredibly personable and professional guide who kept an incredible amount of information interesting. We felt safe the entire time. Thank you!
Excellent day tour to Loch Ness and the Highlands of Scotland

5.00If you’re looking for the perfect Loch Ness and Highlands adventure from Edinburgh, ask for Magnus! He was an excellent tour guide, incredibly knowledgeable about Scotland’s history, culture, myths, nature, and the breathtaking Highlands. We were lucky enough to catch one of the most incredible weather days, and Magnus made the experience unforgettable. He shared honest and fascinating stories about Scotland, including both the real history and the legendary myths surrounding Loch Ness and the Highlands. Magnus kept everything perfectly on time, drove safely and comfortably throughout the journey, and made every stop feel special. From the lochs of Scotland to the stunning scenery of the Highlands, his passion and knowledge truly brought the country to life. Highly recommend this tour and especially Magnus if you want an authentic Scottish adventure!

5.00It covers all that it says and Richie was a friendly informative tour guide. He’s a good driver also( some narrow roads) I do not recommend the optional Loch Ness boat ride as it added nothing to the tour, we didn’t see any signs of an ‘old castle ruins you can only see from the boat’. A walk around ft Augustus and the banks of the Loch would be more exciting.
Beautiful scenery... Long...

5.00Beautiful scenery... Long bus ride. Please pay attention to your time.... The bus WILL leave you. We waited 15 minutes for a passenger then left them.
Jeff with a G is AMAZING

5.00The company description of the physical part of this tour is spot on. The hot chocolate and doughnuts at the first stop is a must (look for the little robin). We wish we had explored Fort Augustus rather than take the Loch Ness water tour. So glad that we went with the small group tour. Jeff with a G was wealth of information, very informative, conversational and flexible. Favorite part was the stop at the three sisters and enjoying the scenic drive. Would definitely recommend and if given the option would choose Geff again!
