Very pleasant and well worth the $.

Great trip , even with rain. Our guide, Gary, was amazing. He was friendly, funny, very knowledgeable and gave us an unexpected 2nd quick photo op of Stirling castle on the way back! Doune and Inverary were amazing to see. 5 STARS across the board.

Long day, thought we...

Long day, thought we would actually spend more time on the Lochs instead of 45 min with the hairy coo -1 cow.Long time to be in a mini bus just to drive by the lochs. Stopped at 1 at the end of the day for 35 min.

This was a perfect tour...

This was a perfect tour for a short weekend tour as a first time visitor in Scotland! I was impressed by all of the places we were able to cover in a day, and my trip to Scotland would have felt incomplete without it. Sandy was a fantastic tour guide as well -- very informative, funny, patient, and kind. Highly recommend for anyone with limited travel time but wanting to explore outside of the city!

KYLE! If you get Kyle, you're in for a great time!

Kyle was a wealth of knowledge, enthusiasm, comedy, and entertainment. From biology to medieval history to current socioeconomics, he is very in tune with Scotland's ecosystem, and does an excellent job of passing that information to the tour. Excellent views, breathtaking vistas, and a wonderful tour from start to finish. Kyle, you're the man!
