"Oguzhan arrivéd a few minutes early so we had a great start to our trip. He was very personable and professional. The van was new, spacious and very comfortable. We had scheduled a stop and he was very familiar with the area. When we needed a rest stop, he took us to the most incredible place. It had shops and food facilities that match any high level mall. It also had the most incredible fishing gear store. My brother-in-laws' jaws dropped when they saw it. His driving was very safe and he was always cognisant of the speed limits. 10 is not a high enough rating for his services."

"I can't say enough good things about this trip and the driver. The car was clean, comfortable, with plenty of water and space. Our driver was so wonderful and accommodating! When a couple of the side trips I had selected were not open, he found us another overlook and walk and also dropped us for lunch in another town when the Cafe at our scenic spot was closed. It was no big deal to help us find alternatives from the original agenda and just made everything so easy. The diver was so pleasant, kind and just fabulous, such amazing service!!! I would book with this company again without hesitation!!!"

From Edinburgh to Inverness: travel tips

Trading Edinburgh's historical appeal for the beauty of Inverness? Here's how to make your Edinburgh to Inverness transfer flawless and fun as you travel through the heart of Scotland.

Time your journey

Dodge the brunt of the traffic by leaving early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Timing is key as the highways may grow crowded, particularly in peak travel season. Plus, the early morning sunrise in the Scottish Highlands is simply magical!

### Plan scenic detours With a few well-placed stops, your road journey will become an amazing Scottish adventure. Stretch your legs at Glen Coe, the dramatic Highlands setting for films including "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and "Harry Potter". Alternatively, have a wee dram at one of Scotland's smallest traditional distilleries, Edradour Distillery. Each stop adds a layer of excitement and discovery to your journey. ### Prepare for typical Scottish weather Scottish weather can be erratic, so prepare for dramatic changes. Cool, cloudy summers and cold, rainy winters define Inverness' oceanic climate. It might be stormy and windy, particularly during winter months. Carry a waterproof jacket and layers to remain comfortable, no matter the season.
