Customer Reviews
- Liz· August 30th, 2025I loved the size of the tour as a 16 passenger mini coach. All of the passengers were very friendly and welcoming. The first half of our tour with driver Peter was amazing. He was informative and fun! Even made sure something was special for the day if the weather didn’t quite cooperate. The second half our tour with driver Graeme was amazing too. Lots of history told, even if he said the same thing 2-3 times. He too made sure we saw the amazing sights of the Orkneys & NC500. Overall a fabulous tourShow more
- Barbara· August 30th, 2025Jim was a perfect tour guide with mix of knowledge and humor that made every second enjoyable for us.Show more
- Lilian· August 28th, 2025We had a fantastic tour with an incredibly nice guide who entertained us throughout the trip with fun facts, jokes and nice trips. Only some of the participants knew at which address they would spend the night, and some did not. Fortunately, the guide knew who had to be delivered and picked up at which address but it was a bit strange.Show more

Asked on August 29th, 2024Could you please tell me about luggage for the North Scotland, Loch Ness and Orkney tour. I will be taking a small bag with clothes etc which can go in the hold, plus my camera gear which is in a bag 38cm x 30cm and would be with me on board. Is this acceptable?
- On The Go ToursOperator•Written August 2024
You're restricted to 20kg of luggage per person. This may consist of a small bag for onboard personal items and a larger suitcase or rucksack, with dimensions of 55cm x 25cm x 45cm. We can refuse to carry luggage over these limits, and there's a possibility you may not be allowed on board if you've not stored your excess baggage.
