Scottish Day Tours

  We all had a fantastic day with Lothian Motorcoaches . The day started bright and early and we were introduced to the driver Paul and the guide Gary . Commentary… read more was informative jokes included !
Plenty stops – dogs were grateful !
Lots to see ! And the recommendations for eats were spot on !!
The guys were great with all the passengers but were really good with us all – giving a wee bit extra time as some of our group had walking difficulties .
So there were two assistance dogs onboard one for canine partners and the other guide dogs .
We would certainly do this again ! Scenery amazing ! Loch Ness cruise – Brilliant ! Fish & chips – tasty !
Coach is clean and comfy with onboard loo .
Had such a great time and this is a really fantastic way to spot all the tourist stuff on a whistle stop tour !!

  Great tour on Sunday with Gwen as guide and Dave as our driverEverything was perfect and they both went the extra mile small things like providing shortbread and the personal… read more touches from Gwen and Dave were the unique selling point of the tour

  My husband and I went on the Loch Ness/Highlands day trip with Lothian Motorcoaches. It was absolutely amazing! We loved it and it was the highlight of our trip. The… read more tour guide Phillip was so great and informative and our driver Mark was great as well. The bus was clean and comfortable and a bonus was the onboard toilet which came in handy a few times. Really great experience and I would highly recommend!

  I loved the trip with Gwen as our guide, Collin as our driver and guide Phillip as our special guest! The landscapes around the Highlands are amazing, so if you… read more are interested in the scottish nature and history, do the tour! The view from the the Wallace Monument was breath taking (and I don’t mean because of the steps :-D)! Eventhough the view from the castle!
The castle itself is beautiful! With the costumed actors around there it’s funny and informative.
Since we were a small group, a good time management, not many discussions and the smooth traffic, we could do both attractions and got a special tour at Stirling Castle by Gwen! Thank you for that again! We had perfect weather, so the stop at the 3 bridges, the lunch in Aberfoyle and the view at the Kelpies were great aswell! Who ever wants to see the most beautiful and biggest of the Lochs should do that tour including the boats tour and the attraction! And as a special tip: the Kelpies are even better to catch on that tour than on the Loch Ness tour 😉

All in all I must say that our group was a good match and the teamwork between Gwen and Collin was perfect, so we had a lot to laugh and to talk about.
A special thanks from my side to our special guest Phillip for such a nice time and chatter!

  Great commentary by tour guide Scott, complemented by driver Graham. We were given a great insight into Scottish history and folklore .

  Such a great experience for those who have an extra day in Edinburgh. Jumped on the boat around Loch Lomond, nice and relaxing lunch time in Aberfoyle while ending the… read more day at Stirling Castle. Special thank you to Fargie & Gwen for making of this day an enjoyable and unforgettable experience.
Only thing to improve: less lunch time and more time at Stirling/Wallace monument. Also if there was the possibility of recorded audio guides in other languages (Spanish for instance), that would be great.
Overall, we’ll repeat for sure!
All the best,
Your Spanish crew at the back:)
