Great day trip with a smaller group - very comfortable tour bus - Stuart was informative and friendly. The tour reinforced for us that we would prefer to spend a few days in the highlands on our next visit - due to the number of stops on the tour we really didn't get much time to explore any one place, but it was a great introduction to a gorgeous area of Scotland.
