We had Chris as our driver/guide and was a amazing time, he was very informative along with a great sense of humour! Saw so many amazing views especially in the Highlands.
But we were very appreciative of the last stop to see the "Hairy Coos!"
I was concerned before the tour that there would be an issue of no bathroom on board but there was enough stops to deal with that!

Me and my daughter really enjoyed the boat trip and visit to Urquhart Castle. It is a long trip but other stops were too short.

The whole trip was great. Charlie and Paul were excellent. They provided a good mix of history and local Scottish customs.

The Scottish highlands are beautiful. Most of the trip is riding on the bus and seeing the countryside. You get to stop every couple of hours to see small towns, monuments, scenic mountain views, and Loch Ness. You have the option of getting a cruise and castle tour for extra money—they only accepted cash on the trip, but you can buy in advance using a card, I believe. Alan was the name of our driver and had good stories and a great voice. He must’ve talked for almost half the trip with hours of information about all of the places; it was quite the feat!
I would recommend the trip, but make sure to bring cash if you want to buy the tickets same-day, and don’t expect to do a lot of walking or exploring—it’s mostly coach-rest-coach-rest.

Pros- bus is very comfortable with usb ports to charge your phone. The highlands are incredibly beautiful. Loch Ness and Urquhart castle are highlights of the trip. The bus makes a stop every couple of hours so the passengers can take a bathroom break or grab a snack at a local shop.
Cons - Tour is very long, 12 hours! You do see a lot of the country side but it is a long day and small children would probably not enjoy it. The PA system also had problems al day and it was hard to hear the guides commentary on the sites we were passing.

Nice trip, knowledgeable, friendly tour guides who also offered a good sense of humor.
The bus had comfortable seats and good air conditioning.
This trip gave us the opportunity to see beautiful Scotland, thank you.

Apart from her bad jokes, Terry was an excellent guide with her positive energy radiating throughout the day. She also did a really great job with time management, ensuring that everyone returned to the bus punctually. I honestly never seen someone so young better manage a large so well, especially the tricky bit with the cruise and castle.
The tour itself fulfilled all its promises with good stops for photo taking, including of the 3 Sisters of Glencoe. We didn't do the castle but we did buy tickets for the Loch cruise. It was lovely with a hot cuppa of whisky choc. And if everyone gets back on time early from all the stops, you will get to enjoy a nice bonus stop, which proved to be very memorable for the young and the young at heart. I won't dream of ruining it for you!

This tour was brilliant! Get to experience the beautiful scenery of the Scottish Highlands including Glencoe and the Nevis range take a cruise on Loch Ness and explore Urqhart Castle (optional extra £28, which l'd recommend), travel back via Stirling and generally get to see a lot of the Scottish countryside. Our tour guide Terri was most informative, entertaining and full of energy.
Both Terri and Mike our driver were really friendly and made the tour a pleasure. Would recommend!

To say it was an experience is putting it mildly. Money well spent. The views and the places we visited were magnificent, and will remain with us forever. We could never have achieved it all without touring with this very professional company. A big thank you to Graham for his expert driving and snippets of information, and to Dejan {apologies if incorrect } for divulging the history surrounding the countryside from both a serious and humorous angle. Two very grateful passengers, even though we are English.{ Southend on Sea does have the longest pleasure pier.}
