    Was an amazing tour through Highlands. Stopped at some amazing locations. Fairy pools and visiting Lake to spot Loch Ness were highlights. Our Tour Guide Micheal was great, told cool stories about Fairies and Giants, talked about Queens and Kings and History. Also had a cool playlist with Scottish music. Had a great time. Would recommend this Tour!!

    This tour exceeded my expectations. I was overwhelmed at the beautiful rolling hills, Lochs, waterfalls, winding roads, leaves falling from the colourful autumn trees abd castles.

    Our tour with Graeme was fantastic ! He was wonderfully informative about the history, geography and geology of Scotland, and he was a very conservative driver. The van was comfortable, and Graeme made regular comfort stops in addition to numerous sightseeing and food stops. I highly recommend this tour for someone who wants a unique overview of the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye without the chaos and crowds of a large bus tour. However, our accommodation in Ullapool (booked through Tour Radar) was barely adequate; a cramped bedroom with the smallest bathroom I've seen outside of a camper van.

    The Highlands Tour was truly magnificent and we 100% recommend it! We saw so many beautiful places and heard as many lovely stories about Scotland's past, present and some fairytales as well. It was very well organised and everything was taken care of. Our Tourguide Andrew was happy to answer any questions one could have. The way he took care of the group, told stories and added a perfect soundtrack for every place and story made the journey a memorable experience and we're very thankful that we had such an authentic, funny and friendly Tourguide.

    Although our weather may have been gloomy sometimes, Graham our driver just made the whole trip the best it could possibly be. We recommend the tour but particularly because he made it.
