“El paisaje es maravilloso, es muy recomendable ir. El chófer Brendan, fue genial muy amable e informativo. Lo malo de este tour, fue que nosotros lo contratamos en español y no hubo absolutamente nadie de habla hispana que te ofreciera algo de información, es más, cuando me llegó el aviso del punto de recogida, decía "idioma español - escrito" y ni eso tuvimos. Una lastima. Ahora, si tienes pensado ir en vehículo a Inverness evita este tour ya que puedes ver estos paisajes , yendo de Inverness a Glasgow.”
