Hands down the best tour and the best guide ever. I booked five different tours during my ten days in Scotland, but this is definitely the one I would do all over again. Helen, our guide and driver was just amazing: she gave us lots of interesting information and talked about stories and legends, she's a very capable driver and she helped creating a nice environment in the bus, so that the whole experience was even better. Also, lunch in Applecross was delicious! I will choose Rabbie's for all my trips from now on.

Although the weather was terrible the trip was great. James, our driver and guide, is a gem. Knowledgeable, kind, fun, service oriented, client oriented and a very good driver. He made the tour as the views were not great because of the weather. The bus was good. The group size nice.. The cafe and restaurant for coffee and lunch stop were perfect. Very good quality food. This tour we can totally recommend.

During this tour, we see a lot of nice scenery, we stopped several time for getting nice pictures. It's probably the only reasons to do this tour. We spend 30 minutes in Shieldaig, got a lunch in Applecross (the restaurant was already booking so we are not free to choose where we want to eat, you can't eat something you bring with you, the time we was served and finished our food, it was already time to leave so we didn't get opportunity to see the city) and spend 30 minutes in Eilean Donan Castle (enough time to take pictures but not for visiting it). All the others time of this 10h30 day trip are on the bus or very short photo stop. Liam, our guide, give us a few informations but majority of the time, we was driving in silent. He recommended us coffee shop in Shieldaig and Eilean Donan Castle making me think this tour was a food tour (what I'm not interest : I wanted to visit, not buying food and drinks) or we are just a wallet. We came back in Inverness earlier than plan.
