Great day spent travelling through the Highlands. Gary was awesome and did a great job being both bus driver and guide. He had so many great fun facts and was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Would highly recommend this tour to cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time.

Amazing day trip with amazing sights and wonderful commentary by a super duper driver! Thanks John! Lots of riding and viewing from bus, but amazing views and would not see everything you need to if you were stopping all the time. I would recommend sitting on left if possible.

We spent an amazing time with Brian, our tour guide and driver, he’s so funny! We visited multiple places and all so beautiful, you have to try absolutely this experience!!

It was amazing ! We got Jenny as our guide and we couldn`t ask for a better One ! She is so nice and funny. It was a day well spent.

The tour was really well organized and our tour guard Scott made sure that everyone was save!
