“We were quite intimidated by the length of the tour however it honestly flew by. The commentary along the drive was nice and wide spread facts and jokes. The breaks to stretch always came at a nice time and broke up the long journey nicely. All of the stops were delightful and Anthony constantly was looking to give more than just the minimum, he was constantly going out of his way to make the experience special. We didn’t have any admission fees to pay - everywhere we went we were just able to walk around easily. In Loch Ness we didn’t take the optional £21 (each) boat tour but we…”
