Explore at your own pace with a private vehicle, driver, and English-speaking guide at your service. With your private vehicle and the personalized attention of your driver and English-speaking guide, you will visit Loch Ness and the Urquhart Castle ruins in comfort and privacy.
Visit Scotland's stunning Loch Ness. This body of water is world-famous thanks to Nessie -- the Loch Ness monster. No matter how skeptical you are regarding the existence of such a creature, it is impossible to drive alongside Loch Ness without scouring the dark waters in hope of a sighting.
Embark on a scenic drive through the Highlands to enjoy lovely views of the mountains and meadows. Your first stop is at Urquhart Castle, built both as a fortress and as a residence. Romantics say that Nessie (or the Wee Beastie, as she is affectionately known locally) lives in a cave beneath the castle. Keep this in mind as you walk the pathway down to the lower level of the castle! At the Urquhart Castle Visitor Center, view the exhibits that illustrate the story of Urquhart and Nessie.
The road will bring you right along the banks of the loch, where there will be ample opportunity to snap photos of the mysterious lake before reaching the Highland capital -- Inverness. Enjoy a short orientation tour of this city and its pretty riverside setting.
Capacity: 2 guests. Your private party may be of any size up to the maximum capacity.
Notes:
Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, cobblestones, inclines, gravel, grass, steps, and a steep pathway from the parking area down to the castle ruins. Participants can remain on the upper level and enjoy panoramic views and photo opportunities. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Private cars are ordered per vehicle (not per person), so only one person in the party needs to order the vehicle. The price shown is the total cost for the vehicle, driver, English-speaking guide, and applicable entrance fees for up to two guests. Private vehicle reservations are non-refundable if canceled within three days prior to the start of your cruise. Private vehicle bookings made on board are non-refundable once confirmed.
