A Nessie and Highlands tour - This experience was great. Our guide, Mark, was really excellent. He gave us a lot of historic insight and was very helpful and knowledgeable and friendly. All the places included in this visit were great and very well thought. We also did the Loch Ness cruise and it was an incredible experience. And we also were lucky with a good weather day. Overall it was worth the time and the money.

An Epic Highlands Journey with Tony – Unforgettable! - We had the absolute BEST experience on our full-day Loch Ness and Highlands tour from Glasgow! Our guide, Tony, was phenomenal from start to finish. His storytelling along the journey was captivating — he painted such a vivid picture of Scotland’s history that it felt like we were traveling back in time as we made our way from Glasgow to Loch Ness, weaving through the breathtaking Highlands. One of the highlights was an unexpected, unscheduled stop Tony made along the way. We found ourselves in a stunning spot surrounded by rolling hills and a flowing river, where a bagpipe player in full kilt performed just for us. It was pure magic — the kind of moment you can’t plan for and will never forget. Tony’s deep knowledge, friendly personality, and passion for Scotland truly made the day unforgettable. If you’re considering this tour, ask for Tony — you’ll leave with not just beautiful photos, but incredible stories and memories to last a lifetime!

Highlands, moors, lochs! Wonderful day trip to see the highlights of Scotland. - Great fun day out with Billy from Discover Scotland Tours. We got to see so much in one day. Small group tour, lots of rest stops and time to spend at each location to get something to eat and see the sights. Billy was very knowledgeable about all the places we went and gave us a lot of information and helpful advice. Highly recommend this company.

A truly memorable experience! - We had a fantastic experience today on our tour with Discover Scotland Tours. Our driver and guide, Mr. Colin, was truly exceptional. He was informative, kind, and clearly passionate about the Scottish Highlands. Through his stories, knowledge, and warm personality, he passed on his love for these beautiful places — and we ended up loving them too. The entire day was well-organized, comfortable, and full of breathtaking scenery. Thank you so much!

Good if you want to see Loch Ness - The trip is a bit long and boring, but worth it if Loch Ness is the goal. Bumpy road, 4+ hours one way, the amount of stops en route is almost none (you might have some scheduled but those could be skipped being too busy). Spoiler alert: no Nessy.

Be mindful of your behaviors in a small motor space - Four Aussies (friends and daughters), talked and laughed non stop all about nonsenses loudly in a small passenger van. Spilled coffee and ran down to the front passenger bag.. and thought it was funny. Talked about Australia and their travels like they were experts nonsense. When I as a senior with bad eyesight couldn’t make out the street name Princes or Princess). The low life daughter made comment that don’t you know the difference between male and female. These people were bad representation of their country. The driver/tour guide did a good job driving us but his Scottish English can be understood about 40% and not proactive in talking details and history of sites. The tour was on August 7, Loch Ness, Glencoe & The Highlands 1 Day Tour Thu Aug 7, 2025 08:00 AM - 08:00 PM with Discover Scotland Tours.
