Ali was an amazing tour guide, learnt so much and she was quite funny. The highlands are absolutely breathtaking scenery- and Loch Ness is gorgeous definitely worth the trip with plenty of stops in cute villages to shop in and quaint pubs to enjoy a lager.

What an amazing day during our 1 day trip to the Loch Ness and Scottish Highland Guided by Nestours . Thanks to him, He guided us very well and explained everything during our trip.

We spent a full day (about 12 hours) exploring the Scottish Highlands and it was excellent from start to finish. Our guide, Nestor, was a wealth of information — offering fascinating historical, geological, cultural, and even political context at every stop. He also shared great local music along the way which made the drive feel immersive rather than long. The itinerary was well-paced with stops roughly every hour, giving us time to stretch, enjoy viewpoints, and explore without feeling rushed. For a one-day Highland experience, this struck the perfect balance between learning and seeing. Would recommend without hesitation.

My experience with the guide named Nestor on the trip to Loch Ness was amazing. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire journey both informative and enjoyable. Nestor’s storytelling brought the history and legends of Loch Ness to life, and his enthusiasm made the experience truly memorable. I would highly recommend him and Highlands explorer tours to anyone visiting the area!

We went with Nestor the guide. He was phenomenal. Great driver, knows his history, and a great narrator, with a sassy sense of humour yet appropriate for the occasion and very informative. Also very helpful. We enjoyed it very much. Thank you Nestor, and thank you Highland Explorer Tours.
