Great day, Cruise was underwhelming, Ewan was funny!
This trip was amazing! John and Jason were incredible! It was an extremely long day but so worth it. We saw so much of Scotland in one day making stops at so many places each showing a different aspect of Scotland and its culture. Our tour guide, John, was excellent and kept us entertained for the entire 12.5hr day with history, stories, music, etc. We were so grateful to our driver, Jason, who navigated some difficult roads very smoothly helping us get around all day. This was overall an amazing day. No need to bring food with you as there are many stops and the Loch Ness boat can be booked by card so it wasn’t imperative to bring cash. Overall we had an amazing experience and would highly recommend!
