“This tour was so fun. First of all, you could probably do this tour with a lot of tour groups but Stewart, our guide, was an absolute blast and totally made the tour. He taught us Scotland history, folktales, geography, facts… you name it, we learned it while driving around. He clearly loves his job, and loves making everyone love Scotland as much as he does. We had such a fun day!”

Review of the Loch Ness one-hour cruise from Inverness, with Urquhart Castle views, Nessie lore, onboard comforts, prices, and practical tips.
“The one-hour cruise fully met my expectations for our adventure on the waters of Loch Ness. While it's getting chilly this time of year (and I'd suggest a lined wind-breaker or other waterproof jacket with a hood), the upper deck was manageable. If it hadn't been, the fully enclosed lower deck would have accommodated all of us comfortable. Polite crew, good navigating, interesting lessons on the public-address - just right!”

Review of the Loch Ness cruise and Urquhart Castle tour from Inverness, with practical details on timing, value, guides, transport, and stops.
“Great tour, and Katie was a wonderful guide. She kept up an ongoing narrative during the drive from the Inverness Bus Station to the boat dock and back again after the boat tour. Very clear instructions about meet-up location after the boat tour. The Loch Ness boat tour was awesome - so incredibly peaceful, and perfect weather that day for it! Commentary was great, too. The only downside is that one hour at Urquhart Castle is not nearly long enough for exploring the site. Could easily have used twice that amount of time.”

Review of the Isle of Skye day trip from Inverness, with Loch Ness, Eilean Donan, Portree, Kilt Rock, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“The bus was very crowded. We were added on for 1 day of a three day tour out of Edinburg so were not really part of the group. Since it was very wet not so good for jumping in/out of the bus. It would have been nice to adjust tour to spend an additional hour Poetree. Expensive for a long wet ride.”
