“Johann was our bike guide for the day and we knew when we met him, it was going to be a good day. We stopped a few times along the way at small towns and historic sites. Johann is a local, so he was able to give us the historic info and the interesting local folklore. It was a fun way to learn! The views on the van ride to the Highlands and Trossachs National Park Park were amazing. The bike trip was so much fun. We rode on an old train trail winding along the beautiful countryside. Even a drenching rain didn’t dampen our fun. We stopped at a…”

“Due to extreme airline late departure and missing our connection in London, driver did not wait for our transport to the hotel. We took a taxi. We Attempted to contact all numbers on our confirmation with no luck. In fact, one replay was that there was no reservation listed. We requested a refund and have be denied. WHY ! Also, question why would the driver not check on the arrival flights update as airline arrival information was offered on the booking??”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · 6 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $1,513

Review of a private Edinburgh to Inverness transfer via Glencoe, Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle, with flexible stops and a personal guide.

“We were picked up at our hotel and had a driving tour on the way to inverness. There were two routes to pick from and then it is really up to you. The driver Lawrence from "Highlander Private Tours" was wonderful. He was a wealth of knowledge and really had an interest in asking you what you wanted to see and he was able to craft the journey to fit. Good narration and conversation on the drive. The famous highland weather was ever-present but even if the true sight was obscured the mist was beautiful in its own right. I would love to be able to take this adventure again.…”

Edinburgh airport transfer review covering comfort, timing, meeting point, luggage rules, value, and who should book this private ride.

“The deal cost a lot. I arrived as schedule, but it took about two hours to get the suit cases, which is not reasonable but expected after the Covid. Taking to the driver about an hour after landing she told me that she would charge me more for waiting and finally I told her to leave. She said to charge e extra 26 pound for waiting and parking fee. At the end I took a taxi from the airport and paid only 26 pound to the hotel which is 25% of the viator cost with the extra. You are by far to expensive and it is not reasonable. Best regards…”
