“This was a fun way to get out of the city and see the highlands. Our guide, Kelly,kept it fun with references to movies and TV shows along the way. She also plays music with Scottish roots, the last song is still playing in my head. Da na na na... There is an extra charge for the boat ride on Loch Ness, definitely worth it. Sit in front of the boat on the first floor for the best views. If you are touring more than one day it is worth looking in to the Scottish Heritage Pass. It gets you in to most castles and palaces. Make sure to get…”

Guided 2-day Highlands trip from Edinburgh: Loch Ness, Inverness, Culloden, and scenic stops with one night included.

“We decided to take a 2 day tour from Edinburgh to Inverness. Since I have walking issues, we wanted a small tour instead of a large group. We were so happy we opted for the Timberbush tour which is in a large comfortable van holding 16, with 12 on our tour.

He explained the sites we were going to before each stop, and allowed ample time to briefly explore the areas. There was something to see every hour or so, which…”

“Our guide, Gregor, was just the best! He provided almost constant entertainment during the drives from stop to stop - from historical tid bits to relevant music to jokes - it was so much cooler and more exciting than I'd expected. I highly recommend this tour and if you get Gregor, you scored big! Each stop was incredible, the lochs of Scotland are breathtaking and inspiring. Staying the night in Inverness was wonderful - a nice smaller town and a welcomed change of pace from the hustle and bustle of London where we were the previous week. Plus Inverness is gorgeous. We stayed close to Ness Bank and the river…”
