    My wife and I booked the Highlands and Loch Ness tour. There is so much more to this tour than advertised. The guide, Shafiq was very professional and fun with lots of local knowledge. The driver Adam was also excellent. We could not fault this tour, the whole day was wonderful. Great day out!

    Die Beschreibung der Tour entspricht nicht der tatsächlichen Tour. Dies sollte unbedingt verbessert werden. Per Mail bekam ich bereits die Antwort das es sich um einen Übersetzungsfehler handelt. Man fährt sehr weit entfernt am Sterling Castle vorbei. Keine Rinder gesehen, 2 kurze Stops in den Highlands für Fotos. Keine Zeit für einen Spaziergang am Loch Ness, keine Übersetzung im Bus, nur ein QR Code zum Scannen mit kurzer schlechter Tour-beschreibung. Tour dauert 12 Stunden fast nur im Bus.

    Wir hatten den Ausflug gebucht, weil es eine digitale Übersetzung in Deutsch geben sollte. Die bestand aber nur aus 4 Seiten Beschreibung wie sie auch schon im Internet steht. Wir waren 12 Stunden nur im Bus unterwegs. Zu wenig Stopps an den Sehenswürdigkeiten.

    The driver and guide, Brain, told many interesting historical stories about the Highlands and the places we visited with typical Scottish humor. In a short time, you see and learn an incredible amount about the Highlands, Loch Ness, and Urquhart Castle. You even got to pet Highland cattle. But don't expect anything leisurely; the schedule is very tight to see everything.

    Man sitzt doch eher den ganzen Tag im Bus, als dass man die Highlands wirklich erlebt. Ja, die Landschaft ist sehr beeindruckend, aber bis auf Instagram-Spots war leider wenig dabei. Unser Guide war trotzdem lustig und gut.
