“This was a great cruise!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2012

I think what we liked most about this cruise was that it felt a bit like a local was taking you out on his boat and showing you his home (which of course, this is what it was!).

“Highlight of our Trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2012

Last week while in Scotland we set out to take a cruise of Loch Ness. After driving several hours to a company that said on their website that they were handicapped accessible, we found that they really weren't. My 90 year old mother in law has mobility issues and has trouble walking long distances and can't do stairs. We continued... More
