Scotland in a Day - A perfectly lovely day traveling around Scotland with Mr. Waseem. He was incredibly knowledgeable about everything we asked and if we stumped him he found out for us. He made unscheduled stops so we could have a more tailored experience. He always made sure we were comfortable, having water and shortbread cookies for us. This is the tour to take if you want to see all of Scotland in a day. You won’t be disappointed!

Magical private tour through the Scottish highlands! - We had an excellent day with Waseem! Not only was he prompted for the pick up, but he arrived about 10 minutes early, just to make sure that he found us and was situated and ready to go on time.
He was incredibly flexible with where we stopped and for how long. He would frequently check in with us to make sure we didn’t need to stop for water or restroom break. He even brought us some treats and hydration to enjoy on the drive.
He was a fantastic storyteller and very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area.
On our way home we got stuck behind a really bad accident that added an extra 5 hours to our trip. Waseem’s positivity and stories were the only thing that kept us sane in the face of what could have ruined the day.
I highly recommend this tour and Waseem . Well worth the money!

Best Tour Day!! - We had the best tour to the beautiful Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness with Wassem! He was very knowledgeable about Scottish history, and he had myself and my friend listening to every word. We were able to take longer at a few places, and all but skipped others because we really wanted more time at Urquhart Castle, and we wanted to go to Cava Cairns by Inverness. All in all, this was our best touring day, and we have been traveling for 3 weeks!

Entertaining & Informative Highlands Tour - My wife and I had a great time on the private Loch Ness & highlands tour. Waseem was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. The drive to Loch Ness takes some time, but there are numerous scenic stops provided for pics and leg stretching.

Wonderful Private tour experience - We had really good day tour experience and we enjoyed our day to the fullest. We were asked if we needed coffee/toilet breaks frequently and our needs were fully listened and accommodated.
We were group of 11 people including children and senior with mobility issue.
Doing this private tour definitely made it so much easier to get around and get to the places that we needed to in a day. Our driver was friendly and tried his best and went above and beyond to make it possible. This is definitely what we needed.
Once again thank you from all of us.

A must on your Scotland Adventure - Excellent private tour with Waseem, who keeps you entertained throughout the journey with wonderful facts and stories about the places on the itinerary.
If you have kids/infant this private tour will be useful as you don't have to bother about other people and enjoy at your convenience without missing out on anything.
Highly recommended to see the beautiful highlands of Scotland.

Great tour! With family (small children) - Waseem was our tour operator and he was excellent. We had small children with us and it’s not always easy to spend a lot of time in a car. However, Waseem was very flexible and seemed happy to accommodate our needs and made extra effort to make sure we were comfortable. Additionally, he was very knowledgeable about the local history and told us about many of the sites we were seeing along the way - and while we were primarily excited to see the Highlands of Scotland, as a history lover, I really appreciated his insights. That being said the highlands didn’t disappoint. The trip was non stop breathtaking views. I’d recommend the tour to anyone, but do be aware if you do have kids that it is a big day with a lot of time in a car.

Loch Ness but no Nessy! - We didnt take the tour but we drove around the area. Its nice but as expected its a scenic area with lots of vehicles on the road all doing the same, trying to capture the Nessy. Its Ok drive all around.
