Cannot praise the service enough. A truly incredible experience delivered by an extremely knowledgeable and charismatic guide. In fact we are now in the process of planning to return with my mother in law so she can enjoy it. It genuinely is worth every penny. I am not going to post a photo as I did not manage to take any that captured the moment or view. Perhaps that is one of the nicest aspects of the day. You just enjoy the moments and do not need to concentrate on driving or directions or for me even copious amounts of photos. Outstanding!!

Chris was an exceptional guide and made the experience memorable, educational, and special. He is a great story teller and easy to be around - super knowledgeable and had great recommendations. We had an amazing tour that kept our 9-year-old and 13-year-old engaged (snowball fights in the Highlands also helped with that). Thank you, Chris!

Absolutely amazing experience with Chris, our exceptional guide. This was a special trip for us because I proposed to my girlfriend along the way.
To start off: Chris went above and beyond before the tour even began by messaging with me about plans for the day. He provided great recommendations, answered all my questions, and even made us lunch reservations just in case.
Beginning the trip: Trip started off with a quick pickup at our hotel. During the trip from Edinburgh into the Highlands Chris provided us the perfect combination of history: Scottish, Whisky, Movie, local, you name it! Incredibly easy to talk to, it felt like this was a friend driving us around.
In the Highlands: Truly incredible landscape. He wasn't joking when he said they seem to rise up out of nowhere! We ran into some thick rain as we were driving around, which I was worried would ruin my planned proposal. Chris, being the local expert he is, had us wait (at a beautiful spot) just long enough for the weather to break, before continuing to the proposal location. He brought us to a place that could only be reached by a 4x4, while I proceeded to do the deed. Chris not only took pictures, but even brought us a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate with afterwards. Not to mention, the awesome tailgate whisky tasting! Kingshouse Hotel was the perfect place to stop for lunch and warm up, seeing the stags was a major highlight. Not sure if he had some special powers, because the rain seemed to stop every time he took us to a new location in the Highlands.
This would have been a fantastic trip on its own, but Chris really added the extra bit at every stage to make it truly perfect. Truly, a once in a lifetime experience!
