Ultimate Scotland experience - The whole experience was fabulous. We hit all the critical landmarks despite the unpredictable weather. A lot of distance driving to the various locations but it was worth the drive. Our guide Ben, who only started two months ago was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and set the mood with his commentaries and appropriate choice of music.

Our Three Day HighlandTour plus Isle of Skye - Our bus driver, Ben Neal, was outstanding, in many areas. He had personality and in depth knowledge of all things Scotland. He knew more about the Kerr Clan, than we did, and my partner is a Kerr. He had patience beyond the call, especially those who were habitually late for every return or pick up. He did a fantastic job driving and communicating, to all of us

Out of the world Scottish Highlands trip - An ethereal offering of the sublime beauty of the Scottish Highlands and Isle of Skye. Exhilarating scenery throughout the drive and places, steeped in history made this trip extraordinary. But all this wouldn't have this special without our guide, Ben. He is so, so knowledgeable about the places and their history. Always presenting a smiling face and with an amazing sense of humour, he lighted up our entire trip.

Isle of Skye & Loch Ness Tour - 3 days - Ben was a very good & informative driver, very together when tight driving circumstances (& there were a few!) warranted. He played good, traditional music and was very friendly

Magnificent scenery, amazing historical sights well worth the trip. - Tour was well conducted by our guide and driver Cameron. He adjusted the itinerary due to the weather conditions and so glad he did. Saw all that was promised on the itinerary plus some extra spots without time pressure. Very knowledgeable and entertaining commentary along the way.

Wonderful and Enriching - Everything, from the tour itself right down to the accommodations, was perfect. Our tour driver and guide, Louise, was wonderful in that she was not only a good driver and clearly an expert in the knowledge of the important facts of the tour, but most importantly she was insightful and sensitive to our needs and always tried to accommodate us in a kind manner.

Best Tourist Guide: John! - Never could we have seen so many beautiful landscapes without our guide John!! He was excellent from start to finish for us. Patient, connoisseur and fun. Thank you, we will never forget you and we will never forget Scotland 😇 My photographer son was in heaven. Despite a few road accidents that delayed us, John was able to keep calm and bring us back safely. I was also very touched by the visit to the battlefield. Thanks again John for all the details you gave us.

Fantastic guide of the Highlands - Mike made this trip extremely memorable!! He was very knowledgeable and answered any and all questions we threw at him. He had a great sense of humour and had some wonderful stories. Mike was a fantastic, safe driver as well, especially with some of the other drivers we saw on the Scottish roads. He made some great recommendations for food (especially the whiskey ice cream!). We would definitely recommend this company and Mike. If we are able to get back to Scotland I would look to use Highland Experience again!

Amazing experience! - 3 days is a long time to be in a bus, but this experience was totally worth it!! The scenery on the drive and on the stops was breathtaking. A longer tour provides an opportunity to get to know others on the tour a little, which was nice. Our guide was funny and friendly. There was a perfect mix of quiet and the telling of legends and history. Informative and interesting! There was also a bit of flexibility in the tour itinerary depending on time/weather. It was nice to have some choices. Accommodations were very nice. Would recommend this tour!
