After Ireland adventure, we decided to go to Scotland before end of autumn. A nice place but it always rains :). Edinburgh is awesome. I have not seen such a royal city. Glencoe and Speen bridge are terrific. Glencoe remembers me of Gap of Dunloe. The highlight is Loch Ness boating.
Inverness is a beautiful and small city (capital of Highlands). You can literally walk around easily.
Ness bridge is amazing. The illumination at night is mind blowing.
I wanted to enjoy Scottish Highlands and went for a 2 day trip, but I realised that I was robbed by http://www.scottishtours.co.uk/ onlt at 4 pm on my first day of the tour. The 2nd day was just 4.3 hours starting at 9.30 am till 2.10 pm. I paid a whopping £155 per person. A 1 day tour by Scotline tours is £35, which is awesome.
Because http://www.scottishtours.co.uk/ is not having any buses or vans to tour they depend on Scotline tours (and others) and you end up paying double fare. An operator should be honest. scottish tours are not the right people for scotland tours. They just do business with a web site that usually does not work for booking tickets. There are no testimonials that can explain their history or customer satisfaction. They are not award winners.
Rabbie's and Haggis are recognised tour operators and generally offer good deals.
This is a good lessons learnt by me. If you want to enjoy tours then go for local operators and not fall in the hands of third parties.
Some sites are powered by google. So when you search do not just stick to the first link.
