Great day!
Had a wonderful time with our tour guide Ryan. He was engaging and fun. With this being a long day he kept us entertained with interesting facts and captivating stories. The Highlands were amazing to visit and I would highly recommend this trip as a way to get to see more of this picturesque country.
Great informative tour
Our tour guide, Paul S, was very knowledgeable and fun. It's a long day, which we knew, but you definitely feel it at the end of the day. Smaller bus, really tight for 4 larger folks in the back. Several stops felt a little rushed, especially those involving food. Plenty of restroom stops, which was nice. Paul explained the logistics quite thoroughly, which was nice since some of it was a bit complicated (lake and castle with a different pickup than drop off). I recommend bringing a small hand fan, some folks were cold but I was hot in the back. This tour requires a fair amount of walking and stairs to see the castle. Also, this tour DOES NOT include the lake and castle entry. I recommend bringing cash and exact change if possible.
