I wanted to book a trip where myself and my husband were the only passengers but I wasn’t paying stupid money, and this trip fitted the bill. We had an excellent trip with George, who went out of his way to find us as many distilleries as he could. Unfortunately because of coronavirus many had shut their doors to visitors. Unsurprisingly none of the distilleries we did visit were doing tours of where they do production, but the ones we visited for tastings were well worth it. The highlight for us was Glenmorangie. We’d highly recommend a day with George, a true gent and Highlander.

There is no better way to see and hear about the views, culture and history as you travel the whole way round the Famous Loch (and it is a loch not a lake) than from a kilted Highlander. On this tour George will transport you through time and back again.

My fiancée and I booked a small group tour around Loch Ness with Lynda and I was blown away by how much we saw in such a short amount of time. The tour is a perfect length - 4 hours - which gave us enough time see loads but also not be on a tour bus for 12 hours straight. We were lucky enough to have the entire van to ourselves, and Lynda was absolutely lovely - pointing out interesting facts, historical information and the odd folk story here and there. She was flexible and catered the tour to what we wanted to see, and even took some snaps of us at various locations! An absolute gem of a tour and Lynda is just fantastic. Would highly recommend if visiting the highlands for the first (or any) time!

A beautiful distillery in a park-like setting on the water. The tour guide was friendly and well-informed...took us through the distillery and cask storage facilities explaining the entire process. Tasting on one scotch included in the “Original” tour. Which was fine with us...a couple other options available

Despite Covid-19 this tour company makes us feel very safe, they had sanitisers and a considerable social distancing inside the tour bus. Was the best way to see the highlands and their incredible landscape, our tour guide Caitlin was incredible, knowledgeable, full of energy, kind, and happy, if you take this tour make sure you ask for her as she did this experience much more memorable. The visit to Loch Ness was fantastic we had the boat trip there also a must to do!
