Friendly and informative guide, clean coach. The weather was perfect, though I don't think the tour company was in charge of that! Alas, didn't see Nessie.

Was a very nice tour, would suggest this to anyone.

2025-06-29 3.00 / 5

It was ok; not what I expected. Think because I did a private tour few days before then did a group. Would do private over group anytime I travel.

Would not do group tour again. Driver/ guide was great!
