Reviews: Loch Ness, Scottish Highlands, Glencoe and Pitlochry Tour
Guest User2026-11-12
A wonderful opportunity for a first glimpse of the Highlands. Explore the landscape and nature. Loch Ness (less than an hour is allotted; a stroll around the lake is sufficient). This tour doesn't include a boat ride. A visit to the distillery is available for an additional fee (£15), and you'll receive two souvenir bottles of 15ml whiskey. You can also grab a lunch at the distillery (there are no lunch stops). Jason, our guide and driver, is a great guy!

Great views of the three Firth of Forth bridges and a small island with ruins of an abbey. Boat was clean and comfortable. Captain gave interesting information about the sites. We even saw a dolphin playing near the boat.

It was amazing! The guide was in English, so I listened to everything through the translation on my iPhone and AirPods, but the guide's 10-plus hour tour was fantastic. I was traveling alone, so it was a shame that I was moved to a window seat, but I was able to fully enjoy the spectacular views of the Highlands. There were some issues with the bushfires, but it was wonderful to see so many different places.

A fantastic experience! Beautiful scenery, comfortable ride, and especially our driver Bryan – he was incredibly nice, keeping the whole trip entertained with his monologues. Thumbs up!

The driver, who also served as the guide, accompanied a small group of foreigners. For the entire 12-hour journey, the driver talked incessantly about the scenery along the way. Although I couldn't understand what he said, his enthusiastic voice and expressions were genuine.

Reviews: 1-day tour to Loch Ness + Glen Coe + Scottish Highlands from Edinburgh, UK - small group or large group options
Guest User2026-06-29
Most of the time on this bus tour was spent on the bus. We had to miss Glencoe Gorge due to traffic, only stopping for about ten minutes to take photos at other locations. The longest time was spent at Loch Ness (about an hour), but the scenery was just average. However, the English-speaking driver/guide was very professional, telling many stories and historical anecdotes about the Highlands along the way.
