Lovely tour. Out guide and driver Paul S. was wonderful. He was friendly, informative and passionate about the Highlands and their history. He kept us well entertained with funny stories, great music and interesting facts. The scenery was spectacular and Culloden was particularly moving. The only slight negative was that we were at the back of the bus and had trouble hearing at times. It would have been nice to rotate seats as I have happen on other tours so everyone gets the opportunity to sit nearer the front. In spite of that I would recommend this tour.

There are barely any stops, so if you're a photographer or someone who wants to enjoy the fresh air of the highlands, it might not be the best option ♡ I would have loved to stop so many more times to enjoy the landscapes. That being said : The guide Steven B(est) was an absolute gem. Very funny, kind, helpful. He has a lot of anecdotes/personal experiences (ex. Camping, skiing, touring, etc.), and a lot of historical and cultural information to share. He explains stuff very well and, although he has a scottish accent, it's manageable. I understood most of what he said (coming from a non-native english speaker). If you have questions or if you ask recommandations, he's there for you! You'll have music in the bus, you'll discover traditional music and scottish/English artists and musics. As for the tour itself : The highlands are a must. It is sooo beautiful. I recommend bringing a raincoat and a sweater because the weather can be changing. We got sun, then rain, and sun, then clouds. It was warm then cold. On this tour, you can buy food at a gas station on the first stop or from the hotel at the Loch ness lake, but it can be quite expensive (for foreigners) so maybe bring your own lunch. Don't forget your water ♡ I didn't book the castle visit and cruise. As my mom would say, always travel as if you were never gonna come back, so even though it's expensive, book it. But in case you didn't listen to my mom like me, you can spend your time around the Loch ness lake and in the lochness souvenir shop or at the restaurant. Time passes by quickly when the landscapes are this beautiful.♡ Also there are toilet stops, so if I were you, I wouldn't worry about it. I'm always anxious about that and it was absolutely fine on this tour. ♡

We had an absolutely fantastic time on our tour! SCOTLAND is beautiful and increasdible with the nature. Lochness is clean and i love the beauty of lake. Our guide, Steve B, was not only incredibly friendly but also had a fantastic sense of humor that kept everyone engaged and entertained. His deep knowledge and the fascinating insights he shared truly enriched the experience. He explained story, it was really interesting. He gave us advice to travel in Edinburgh, he introduced us the whiskey. I love that It was a delightful trip, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide to lead us through such memorable moments. We thoroughly enjoyed every part of the journey!

We had an absolutely wonderful time on our tour! Our guide, Hugh, was not only incredibly friendly but also had a fantastic sense of humor that kept everyone engaged and entertained. His deep knowledge and the fascinating insights he shared truly enriched the experience. It was a delightful trip, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide to lead us through such memorable moments. We thoroughly enjoyed every part of the journey!

We only had two days in Edinburgh, Scotland so we took a full day tour of the Scottish Highlands, a cruise on Loch Ness, and a visit to Urquat Castle on our first day. Our tour guide Steven B.,provided wonderful historical tidbits throughout the day. Stevens love of history shone through as he entertained us with his stories about the Highlands. Definitely worth spending the day!

Charlie was a wonderful guide! We had a great time exploring the highlands. It was a long day, but they made it fun. We even got to pet some hairy coos!

This all day trip was great. Terry was an animated and knowledgeable tour guide who kept us highly entertained, and John a competent and amusing driver. We had plenty of rest stops and saw the beauty of Loch Ness and the Highlands. Terry shared both historical information as well as anecdotal snippets. She was very approachable and happy to chat and help with advice and recommendations. Her drama training made her an excellent communicator

What an amazing experience!! Not only was this a beautiful well thought out experience but our tour guide Rose brought it to the next level. She ensured we got the most out of this trip! Her story telling was captivating, she knew when to get to every spot at the perfect time to optimize the experience, and she went above and beyond for our comfort and safety. The sites were breathtaking, the stays were warm and welcoming. If you’re thinking of booking this experience, DO NOT HESITATE

I went as a group of 3 adults and really enjoyed this tour. It just happened that our tour group had about 10-15 people total, so we had a smaller bus that doesn't have a bathroom. Our tour guide was Paul, and he is a great storyteller, very entertaining and knowledgable about Scottish history, and even asked our group for music preferences. Paul has a positive tone and is passionate about Scottish history. He does everything from demonstrating Scottish swords to singing Scottish tunes. We enjoyed the bed and breakfast that Highland Experience Tours arranged for us. We had an odd-sized group, and the room had one full-sized bed and one twin bed, which fit our group perfectly. The lodging also included breakfast, which had a lot of variety in terms of food options (both cold and hot). If you have a family with kids or anyone in your party that needs to use the bathroom frequently, keep in mind that this tour make stops every few hours to use the bathroom. All in all, I highly recommend this tour. The tour provided 1 hour to hike Old Man Storr, but the average non-avid hiker likely needs more than one hour to hike there and back. If you want to hike Old ManStorr or Glen Coe, I recommend booking a walking tour or one that gives you more time at these sites.

This was the first time I had travelled with Highland Experience Tours. The company specialises in expert-led cultural tours in scortland. Group numbers are small, accommodation comfortable and food excellent. The expert guide ( lain ) who accompanied us was outstanding - passionate, informative, engaging and entertaining. The itinerary was very well thought out, combining leisure time with activity and not-to-be-missed opportunities to ride the Jacobite Steam Train—aka Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter movies. The client is obviously at the heart of the itinerary planning, and attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a fun, relaxed, educational holiday with fine food - they will deliver!

Best excursion and Rose is an excellent tour guide/driver. Rose is a great storyteller and great driver that is prepared for any emergency. We looked for additional excursions where she was the guide.

It was a very nice tour. Chris was a knowledgeable and entertaining guide. It met our expectations well. It was a good value.

The Scottish Highlands, Loch Ness and Glencoe tour provided by Highland Experience Tours was absolutely marvelous. The tour covers about all major must visit spots in the Highlands. The trip lasts for 13 hours but don't worry, the coach has enough stops to stretch your legs and collect your goodies or go to washrooms. Our tour guide/coach driver Mr.Keith was absolutely the best guide and driver anyone could ask for during the tour. He kept us busy with his jokes and games. You won't be able to sleep even if you want to because he is that entertaining and enthusiastic. So if you get the option to choose the guide, I will wholeheartedly say go for Keith, he is the best.

Keith was amazing driver and quide! This is must see -trip if you visit Edinburgh. Really good information about Highlands and Scotland overall.

Great adventure for Outlander fans and people who want to see sites that are not included in other excursions. We had a nice time, great and funny tour guide and a comfy accomodation. Couldn‘t have been better
