The driver was extremely pleasant and accommodating. However, the audio guide was played through covered speakers in the seat backs on the upper deck and was almost in audible, particularly in light of any wind while moving. You had to put your ear right down to the speaker of the seat in front of you to hear. Also, compared to the price vs amount of information provided, it did not compare well to the hop on hop off in Edinburgh -- Or maybe it did; we just couldn't hear it! We still enjoyed our time in Inverness.
