    A really great and very well organized day trip. We felt we had seen all the highlights of the Highlands. We felt very comfortable with Alistair as our guide, he kept us constantly informed about everything we saw. The castle and the boat trip on Loch Ness had to be paid for in cash(!) on site. Money could be withdrawn from an ATM, but we would have been pleased to have known this in advance.

    We had "Lafayette" as our guide and he was so funny and quick with his improvisation. He made the experience very immersive as he remembered people's names and places they were from. He kept the whole group intrigued from start to finish. The reason I'm giving 4 stars is because the tour is posted as being an underground tour when most of it takes place above ground through the city. Lafayette is amazing though ,still a very fun and memorable experience!
