Outstanding! - A great tour! You do not only see Loch Ness and Glencoe, but stop at many different places along the route. The guide Owen was great, very friendly and very good at telling you facts and fiction about people and places.

Amazing experience! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 - It was an outstanding experience our Loch Ness, Glencoe and Highlands Tour, a full-day where we explored the main highlights of the region and were amazed by the beauty of it all. Owen was super friendly, helpful and explained several details about Scotland's history! At the end of the day, he shared with us some recommendations to take the most out of our stay in Edinburgh! The van was very comfortable and the playlist brought magic to our journey. Overall it was a great experience, and for sure we want to repeat!

A must for your time in Scotland!! - Laura truly went above and beyond for our tour and even added a couple beautiful spots for us to see. She was not only a great tour guide but also a great example of the amazing people who love Scotland and want to share it with others. Glencoe is definitely somewhere I will never forget! Will definitely work with Scotlands Wild if we ever come back for a longer tour next time!

10/10 - This tour left me in awe with desire to come back to Scotland ASAP. Chris was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and great to chat with! We lucked out with such beautiful weather. Loved every minute of the trip. The only thing to be mindful about on this tour is that there are a lot of windy roads, so take Dramamine and you’ll be fine!

Lovely day trip in Caledonia - Shout out to our tour guide Cal for the best day trip in Scotland! He was funny (kept us laughing all day), warm, very knowledgeable and even had great taste in music fitting for the sights and landscape. I have an extremely stressful job, so it was so nice to have an entire worry-free day where everything was taken care of. Aside from the gorgeous views of the land and its history, it's rivers, trees, rainy skies and mist covered mountains, my favorite part was feeding carrots to the sweetest Highland cow named Honey <3. Thanks again for the loveliest day to remember in Bonnie Scotland. I will always have Caledonia in my heart now <3 <3

Great tour in a truly Scottish weather - We did the Loch Ness and Highlands tour with Calum and it was amazing! The scenery is breathtaking, it was rainy and a bit foggy during some parts of the day but Calum was great, he gave us a lot of great backstories from all the spots and did all the stops possible, we even got to see the famous highland coos!! It’s definitely worth it no matter the weather. We will come back for summer to go on longer tours for sure.
