The tour was timed to perfection.
Some spectacular views on this tour and quite a nice little boat trip up Loch Ness at an extra cost (optional)
Nice to return over the Forth Road Bridge as well
This is a tour I would recommend to anybody. Such a relaxing and comfortable day out.

Scott and Paul were amazing throughout the tour. On a rainy morning, Paul was well before time (like us), all suited up to welcome and let us sit inside until other guests and Scott arrived. Both were very friendly and warm, right from the start and never missed an opportunity to keep the interaction going and the visitors entertained.

Scott has all the energy anyone would ever want to have day long when at work. Besides being a fantastic storyteller, he has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to traveling in general and specially for the entire Scotland. He engaged with every guest individually all throughout out the trip and made sure he aligns to what every individual expected. He clearly went the extra mile to make the visitors feel special – one instance of which is when we requested him to play some Scottish music at the later half of the trip (after being done with all pit stops), he searched and played the soothing music of the pipes and several other songs, using his phone’s speaker constantly held to the mic (used for the tour commentary) for those couple of hours, when everyone eventually went to sleep.

Both Paul and Scott deserve all the appreciation to curate the long day with so much attention that we did not miss any stops, and were given sufficient time to enjoy. They were ahead of the other tour buses operating on the same route, which saved us the pain of queuing up at several places to either eat or click photos in peace. We enjoyed our photos being clicked by/with them, and also the little Scottish dance at the Commando Memorial after posing with The Saltire which Scott was carrying.

The most scenic and thrilling views of the highlands (and it’s cows) and lochs are something that needs no explanation. It’s a feeling which cannot be captured in words or pictures. And to feel this, I would blindly recommend Lothian Motorcoaches tour, who were so professional and fantastic that they ran the tour in a 61 seater luxury coach even when the total guests booked that day were just 5. It was like a private tour with all the amenities (complimentary water bottles, spick and span toilet on-board, tour guide with mic commentary). They are cheaper on budget than the other tours, and provide the transport and tour experience way better too. Their professionalism makes sure not to dampen the visitor experience at any point of the day (unlike which many others do by hinting towards gratuities at the end, over and above the already high tour price). They also respected if any individual wanted to be left exploring on their own, on or off the bus – so no obligation at any point.

I will definitely look forward to repeating the tour with them, whenever I’m back in Scotland. Keep up the great work!

  Really enjoyed the experience visiting the Highland and Lochness. Our hosts Gary and Paul were exceptional with great knowledge (and funny). Made the 12hr tour fly by. Highly recommended!!!

  The Lochness & highlands tour for us was cut short by an accident on our way to Lochness. Scott, our guide & Mikey, the driver, were great and quickly… read more set up a different schedule and adventure for us. I still got to take lots of photos of the highlands and we had a boat excursion instead. What impressed me was how they handled it! They were professional, funny, engaging and informative. It was simply the most fun! What struck me the most was that they really cared about our having a good time and didn’t want to disappoint us. Scott even stopped after seeing me, an hour later, wondering around and asked if I needed help, was I okay, did I know how to get back? For me this was the ultimate kindness when I was in a new city, alone, fighting jet lag & culture shock! Go! You won’t regret it!

We were… read more on our way to Loch Ness. Due to a fatal accident halfway up, they had to improvise and took us to Loch Lomond instead. This included a lunch break in a nice mall and a one hour boat trip, which Lothian paid for. On the way back, we passed Stirling Castle in the distance and also stopped at the viewing site for the three bridges, neither on the original schedule. The revised trip was well worth it as a substitute. Lothian even offered a free trip for the following Tuesday to Loch Ness. Lothian is clearly a first rate company trying to ensure its clientele get the best possible experience. Scott and Mikey were the best we could hope for.
