Great tour - The sights were incredible, I met nice people, saw so many things and took so many pictures. Our guide, Millie (sorry if I misspelled), was lovely and really fun, she told us so many stories about the Highlands and Scotland. The bus parts of the trip which were the longest, didn't feel long and boring thanks to her stories The cruise on the lock ness was great and the guide, Liam, on the cruise was fun as well, too bad Nessie didn't show up
