Reviews Loch Ness
“Jim onze buschauffeur en ook onze begeleider krijgt van mij alle lof. Erg grappig en met veel humor verteld hij tijdens het rijden over de geschiedenis van de prachtige omgeving. Een lange bustocht waardoor je veel kunt zien in een dag. Dat betekent wel dat je korte stops hebt en veel in de bus zit.”
“Our local guide greeted us at the meeting point and did not stop talking anymore for the rest of the day. Great stories, anecdotes and bits of folklore while touring Loch Ness. There were frequent stops - but beware that Fort Augustus and the boat ride (to be paid on the spot) are fairly touristy.”
