As someone who has always...
As someone who has always wanted to see the Scottish Highlands, this trip did not disappoint me. It is a long day, however the bus ride was engaging and scenery was worth the drive. Our tour guide Stephen was very knowledgeable and was very clear with communication throughout which was helpful in making sure we maintained our itinerary. If I return to Scotland I would definitely consider taking another tour with this company.

Solo Travel Made Easy
I took the 1-day Loch Ness, Highlands, Pitlochry tour with Frasier as a guide! I couldn’t have asked for more in the 12+ hour tour. I laughed, I cried, I learned, I genuinely felt so welcome at every stop. I would definitely recommend this as a solo female traveler. It was money very well spent and the local recommendations were spot on at every stop.

One of the best experiences of my life!
New York City
Bungee jump from 40 meters in the stunning valley of Killiecrankie, Scotland
LoveTravel734520, Sep 2026
One of the best experiences of my life!
After 15 years of saying I would bungee jump but finding excuses to get out of it, I discovered Highland Fling completely by chance on Youtube, booked it, and committed to the jump. And it's one of the best decisions I've ever made: bungee jumping is one of the absolute greatest things you can do, and Highland Fling is one of the best places to do it.From the moment I arrived, all of the staff, from the receptionists to the drivers to the actual jumpmasters, were utterly professional and friendly. They took safety completely seriously with multiple checks, and do everything they can to calm you down and alleviate your nervousness. You couldn't be putting your life in better and more competent hands.The jump itself was absolutely amazing! Only 40 metres high, so a good bet for terrified first-times like me, and in a beautiful location, from a bridge at the base of the Pass of Killecrankie. Staff were once again professional and a calming influence, and all moderately-sized groups are catered for. Only negative was that it's over after 3 seconds!Furthermore, I jumped completely alone, but if you're with family/friends who don't have nerves of steel, they can watch from a platform at the base of a bridge.I did however purchase a video to show my own family/friends later, and I fully reccommend this. It takes a few days to come, but it's fantastically edited, and does a top-notch job re-capturing the epicness of your jump.Overall, I couldn't possibly reccomend Highland Fling enough! I hope to return one day, to also do their bungee swing.
