Fab!! - What an amazing trip from start to finish! Friendly welcome from Michelle when we arrived and an equally warm welcome from Glenn and Peter the guide. We are local to the area but still learnt a thing or two from Peter, great local knowledge and history of the loch, they all took the time to chat once it got less busy. Will definitely recommend this trip to visitors to our cafe. Thank you all for a lovely trip

A good two hours! - Our trip was helped by stunningly glorious weather. Thanks for organising that!
The car park was spacious, the café clean, offered a good range of comestibles, and toilet facilities were available. All good while we waited for our departure time.
The cruise itself was enjoyable, informative - we'd recommend it to others. (No sightings of Nessie, though, and no refund for that!!)

Very nice tour - The tour was carried out on a clean ship.
The quiet canal was beautiful to look at and the transition to Loch Ness with its size impressive.
The tour guide was very motivated and explained the sights on the ride.

Would 100% recommended this business! - A fabulous boat trip with polite and friendly crew/staff. A really fun and informative commentary too! Lovely, comfortable boat. Would definitely recommend.
You can always tell an exceptional business when something goes awry; I stupidly left my hat on board. I phoned the HQ and spoke to Ewan, who could not have been more helpful, arranging to post it back to my home address.

It's worth it. - A two-hour boat trip across the beautiful, but also dark Loch Ness. The guide clearly explains in several languages. If you're around, definitely do.

Lochness experience - Very nice and interesting. The staff was very friendly and friendly. The only regret is that they could have stopped us 15 minutes at Urquhart Castle. Instead they showed us only from the boat
