Could 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?

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.

Our tour guide, Jamie, was awesome. He was knowledgeable of the history, entertaining, friendly, and very helpful....
Our tour guide, Jamie, was awesome. He was knowledgeable of the history, entertaining, friendly, and very helpful. What I like best about the tour was the size. The tour had a maximum number of 16 travelers and the smaller size tour van could go places the larger tour companies can’t go. We got to see sites and locations that larger tours don’t visit. We got to visit more local places and everyone on the tour got to know each other and had fun together exploring Scotland. I will be back to see more of Scotland and will use this service again.Show more
