An Unforgettable Highland Adventure: A Perfect Taste of Scotland - It was my first trip for a couple of days, and I was worried about the weather at this time of year. However, it turned out to be a great adventure that left me with unforgettable experiences and memories of the Highlands of Scotland. Our guide and driver Jamie were fantastic, sharing historical details about the land and the county. Occasionally, he would play amazing songs that highlighted the beauty of nature. I would definitely recommend this trip if you want an intense experience of Scotland and don't have much time to explore it on your own.

Amazing 10/10 highly recommend ! - This was the highlight of our Scotland trip! It was a truly amazing experience. And our guide Kenny was the best! He really made the tour a special and got to know everyone. He played songs, had history/stories to share for everywhere we passed and stopped by. He even took us to see highland coos! We can’t wait to come back to Scotland and book another tour with them and hopefully get Kenny again!

Fantastic trip! - Brilliant trip with fellow passengers and the guide/driver Ben who was extremely knowledgeable with Scottish history, geology and current Scottish affairs. Highland scenery is spectacular and the frequent photo stops were well spaced. Weather threw everything at us (it is mid November!) but Ben's itinerary made the very best of opportunities. The Culloden Battle Field visit was very poignant and he had us all well informed about the battle before arrival, the music was very fitting as well. The museum was well worth the visit and the lunch choices were good in the visitor centre. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip, mostly due to Ben's driving diligence, music, information, helpfulness and courtesy to his passengers. The whole experience was super, albeit a crackling PA system and we would recommend this tour to all, wanting to see the Highlands.

Jaime the tour guide - Jaime the tour guide was truly amazing! He gave detailed stories about history and land marks that were carefully arranged with matching music! He made many stops for potty, snacks, and tour sites. We felt safe and very entertained! We saw so much in 3 days!

In love with Scotland! - We took a 3-Day tour of the Highlands (The Ultimate Skye Experience) and it was awesome, we fell in love with Scotland! We visited great places like Glencoe, Loch Ness and many more off-the-beaten-track locations. Kudoz to our guide Hugh who took super good care of us and went out of his way to show us this beautiful land. Thank you so much! Hope to be back soon!

3 day tour of Scottlish Highlands and Isle of Skye - My friend Kristin and I had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Rory and our bus mates on this 3 day tour of the Scottish Highlands and Isle of Skye. We were fortunate to have really nice weather for the first 1 day; more typical changeable weather the next 2 days. But regardless of the weather we enjoyed all the stops and the cruise on Loch Ness. The days were very full with lots to see and also enough stops to eat and do some of your own thing along the way, The accommodations were clean and comfortable with good breakfasts. Other than the incredible landscape and historical landmarks, the highlight was our tour guide Rory, who filled up our travel time with many interesting and hilarious stories about Scottish history, lots of "make you want to groan" Dad jokes, plus Scottish music playlists. The 3 days flew by, we all got along really well and we had no complaints. Thank you so much Rory and Highland Experience Tours

Scots are warm and friendly. - Aye Stay, the B & B in Inverness, was perfect! Exactly the Scottish charm I was hoping for. I found the Scots kind and hospitable people.
