Loch Ness and Urquhart castle - From the bus drive to the boat everyone was super helpful in understanding where to go and where to be. The drive was lovely to and from Inverness and the Loch! The tour guides and staff were fun and witty and couldn’t be more kind. We had a great time and I would do it again given the chance!

Worth every penny! Loved it - A full on day visiting Culloden and Glen Affric. Our tour director, Kevin, was very informative and an excellent driver. Highly recommend this tour. For me, the photo says it all about beautiful Scotland.

Loch Ness/Castle Urquhart - Wonderful tour from Inverness! - We VERY much enjoyed our time on the Loch Ness Cruise/Urquhart Castle from Inverness Tour. Linda, our bus driver/tour guide, was funny & amazingly informative. Our boat guide, another Linda, was great as well. Everything was professionally run, on time, with clear communication from interesting facts about the Loch & Urquhart Castle to itinerary/safety info. We had an hour at the Castle and it was the perfect amount of time.

Full itinery with a funny and knowledgeable tour guide. - This was a great trip. Linda was our coach driver and tour guide, she was very knowledgable and funny! Loch Ness is absolutely beautiful, and there was a humourous guide on the boat pointing out things of interest. We got off at Urquhart Castle and there was lots to see there. We drove back to the bus station through some of the local countryside and learned a lot about the history of the place. It was a must see tour.

Loch Ness and Urquhart castle excellent trip - It was a rainy day but well worth the trip. Our hosts on the cruise were knowledgeable and knew about current events as well. There was time to see Loch Ness, to see the castle from the water and from the road. There was time to explore the castle and return to Inverness. Great trip.

A fun afternoon - Fun 3.5 hour experience involving a short drive to the cruise point, a cruise up the Loch Ness then entry to the castle. Lovely weather, and experience overall. Linda the tour driver was kind and informative. Only down sides were - no signage at pickup point (guesswork required) - the castle cafe was closed - wifi was not available on the bus, and weak on the cruise. - the supplier company added my email to their mailing list without much agreement ( I booked via a third party - data privacy issue)

Loch Ness Tour non starter! - Unfortunately on arrival at the bus station to start our tour we were informed the trip had been cancelled. The young person who was manning the Tour Operators desk had no information as to why it was cancelled or why we had not been informed prior to the time of our booking. We were most disappointed.
