Very good tour. Our guide was so knowledgeable about nature, plants, animals and she gave us many many information about the area generally. Safe driving also. Mini tour in the centre of Inverness (we did temptation). The guide at the cruise was also good and sympathetic. Beautiful pictures! We stayed at Edinburgh but we took the train to Inverness and got back at the same night but we realised that it would be better going to Inverness for some days instead of Edinburgh. It was much more pretty, clean, quiet and seemed to have enough activities. Recommend it!!!

Lovely cruise with friendly and knowledgeable crew members. We opted for the cruise and castle package so had a 30 minute breathtaking cruise to the castle, an hour to explore the castle and grounds, and a 30 minute cruise back. The cruise was comfortable and relaxing. Magical views of Loch Ness from the boat and the castle. A great way to see Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle. Parking is free at the hotel across the street and access to the cruise is through a walking path under the bridge.

We took the Temptation tour which left from the Inverness bus station and included an hour cruise on Loch Ness and an hour to explore Urquhart Castle before returning to Inverness. Our bus driver was okay - had some interesting commentary but was very disparaging about some of the architecture we saw. The cruise on Loch Ness was peaceful, and we really enjoyed poking around the castle ruins and the beautiful views.

I reluctantly took this tour package; bus, boat cruise Loch Ness and visit the castle. The driver, Malcolm (sorry I got it wrong) was the best. Totally recommend this tour and this company. Our experience was nice and no issues with our online bookings.
