Great value and a great time!
Torquil was such a good guide. Of all the day trips I took in Scotland and on other vacations, this was one of the best value trips. We squeezed in a lot of stops of varied subject matter, but none of them felt rushed. The Loch Ness cruise was amazing, an hour at Urquhart castle was the perfect amount of time to explore the site, and an hour and a half at Culloden was also perfectly timed. It was really well planned and at the end of the day I felt very satisfied with my experience, which I don’t often feel after day tours. Definitely recommend this one!

Cheers to Louise
Louise was BRILLIANT! So much fun, very knowledgeable and funny. She's a very safe bus driver (don't know how she can maneuver the big bus through the wee roads) FIVE STARS!
