VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

Very good, the driver was very interesting with his brief as we toured around.

Nice tour, glad we did it.

I would have liked to have visited the Wallace Monument.

The tour itself was very good, enough time was alloted for each site. The scenery was breathtaking and the driver was full of information.
I was very impressed by the drivers knowledge of history, his surrounding area, and entertained by all his folk stories.
My only negative to this trip was the fact that we were originally picked up at 8:30 by one very nice driver, hauled all over Edinburgh picking up other passengers that were going on a Distillery trip and others that were going on our Loch Lomond trip, we drove around with him for at least an hour, then we get thrown on another bus ( our intended Loch Lomond bus) and by this time, the only seats available were all the way in the back seat. Well not only is it very uncomfortable, you don't get much of a view, the engine noise was so bad, the driver was barely audible. We thought well we can always try to change seats at the next stop. We attempted to do this when we were reprimanded by the very nice, full of information driver that we were not allowed to change seats that we had to keep our original seats throughout the whole trip as if we were back in school. Needless to say I was a bit upset. Here my friend and I had been the first ones on the Distillery Tour bus, and because of poor planning on someones part we ended up sitting in the worse seats, it put a real damper on the trip. So I suggest you redesign that part of the pick up, or you might even have people meet at the point of departure of the bus. Just a thought.

Unfortunately, I had a dreadfully rainy and foggy day, so I saw very little of Loch Lomond or the sights along the way. Alan, my tour guide, and Jerry, the driver, were fantastic, however! Alan provided interesting information in such a funny and entertaining way, it made the ride worth while. In fact, it was because of them that I signed up for their Loch Ness tour the following day. That tour was wonderful, as it was a better day weather wise and Alan and Jerry were still great!
