Travelled as a couple - The tour with Gary S. was fantastic! The tour coach was quite comfortable, and Gary was very informative. His stories were interesting and funny at times. He didn’t overload with info or details, and played some Scottish tunes to mix it up. We also wish to note that Gary was an excellent driver, especially when we had some stormy weather.

Kyle was the best! - In spite of the fog and overcast skies, the vistas and explanation of what we would have seen was stellar! As the day progressed and the day cleared, the views were quite amazing and beautiful. Kyle made the whole experience worthwhile with his extensive knowledge of Scotland and great sense of humor! Traveling in a small group was the best. Our trip to see the Highland cows was the icing on the cake!

Best decision I made for your company! - Loch Ness Glencoe and The Highlands was the first 1 day tour we went on (out of 3), and Ron was our tour guide. He was absolutely amazing!! With each tour we took, each guide for sure each had their strengths and each their own style. We each had our favorites and Ron was mine! He had very interesting stories and an interactive way of telling it. He let us take the scenery in at times and told us history as it pertained to where we were. The company offered small tours unlike other competitors, which was so nice!! I was so grateful I booked with Discover Scotland! It could have been scary booking all 3 of my trips with them and they weren't any good. There were two things I did right when I booked all of our activities for Scotland, this was the first thing I nailed!! They are worth every dime we spent! Their tour guides made it memorable, and we are grateful for making a once in a lifetime dream so special!

10/10 Day Trip! - I took the day tour with Cameron and had a wonderful experience! He was such a great tour guide - super knowledgeable, funny and friendly. We saw a ton in one day. Yes, it's a lot of driving but you take frequent stops to get good photos and see beautiful views. It's a truly such a beautiful area and if you only have a day to travel to the Highlands, I'd take the tour.

10/10 experience! - We had an amazing day with Gary! We shared our experience with only 7 others in a small coach. I would recommend this tour to everyone. Gary told us a lot about Scottish history while driving us through some amazing scenery. He even made a few extra stops along the way. The tour was worth every penny and the 5* for Discover Scotland is very well deserved. Thanks Gary!
