Inverness

Джак е шофьор и екскурзовод. Той е много любезен да обяснява историята на Шотландия и всяка забележителност. Благодарим ти, Джак!

Моят водач и шофьор за деня беше Кийт (26 май). Избрах обиколката на Лох Нес и Хайлендс. Пътуването беше много информативно и образователно, успях да оценя историята на Шотландия и Хайлендс. Местата, които посетихме, и природата също бяха красиви. Пътуването беше безопасно и успях да се насладя на пейзажа по пътя.

For anyone with a Loch Ness obsession, this is a very high-value tour that unlocks the Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness in a single day. A significant portion of the time is spent on the bus, and upon arriving at Loch Ness, you stay for about an hour, with the boat cruise taking up 50 minutes. The partner cruise company for this tour is Cruise Loch Ness, departing and returning to the same port, so you won't see Urquhart Castle at all (only tours departing from Inverness go there). It is recommended that as soon as you arrive at Loch Ness, you quickly head to the 'Loch Ness View Point Fort Augustus' spot on Google Maps to take a photo with the Loch Ness sign before boarding the boat. The outdoor second floor of the boat is very windy, while the indoor first floor has heating, and the windows on all four sides have Nessie graphics; we had a lot of fun taking pictures with these designs. The lake view itself is pretty, but has no other distinct features. The scenery of the Scottish Highlands is very similar to Iceland and quite beautiful, but the most stunning views are along the road. There are two or three stops in between to photograph the Highland landscape, plus a spot to take pictures of Highland cows. Because the driving distance from Edinburgh is very long, and UK regulations limit the daily working hours of drivers and tour guides to a maximum of 12 hours, you will feel quite rushed. However, for checking it off your bucket list, it offers great value. If you want to truly experience the charm of the Scottish Highlands, a multi-day tour or a self-drive trip is recommended. Also, the single malt Scotch whisky ice cream at Scotch corner is delicious—you have to eat it no matter how cold it is!

Приятна обиколка, дълго, но не изморително и не скучно пътуване. Всички места бяха посетени по план, дори имаше допълнително посещение на косматите крави в края, тъй като в началото на обиколката нямахме време да ги снимаме, защото бяхме заети с пазаруване. Цената е доста конкурентна, а екипът на обиколката е професионален. Добро преживяване.

Ian's guide was easy to understand, and he shared detailed and interesting stories about history and legends. He carefully explained the schedule every step of the way, so we could handle long-distance travel without worrying about restroom breaks or anything else. It was a very comfortable and reassuring tour. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Isle of Skye.

Excellent ! Lawrence took good care of us and gave us an unforgettable experience… we were with kids and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience !

Enjoyed a comfortable small-group tour with Timberbush guide Ben. He kept everything on time and all the spots fitted in nicely and comfortably with no hurries. Great locations for a general experience of the Highlands. Besides the main spots in Glenfinnan and Loch Ness, particularly enjoyed the small village of Mallaig and was able to catch the locks in action in Fort Augustus. Ben had a nice playlist of songs of contemporary Scottizh folk music which made the long drives enjoyable with the views and had some nice bits of trivia here and there along the way.
