Terms of Use

Last updated: March 2026

1. Disclaimer

This is not the official website of Loch Ness tour operators, Inverness tourism, or Scottish tourism authorities.

Loch-Ness.Tours is an independent travel guide providing information about Loch Ness tours, cruises, and related attractions. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or official representatives of any tour operators, tourism boards, or governing bodies.

All information on this website is provided "as is" for informational purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, information about tour prices, schedules, availability, and operator details can change without notice.

2. Affiliate Disclosure

Loch-Ness.Tours earns commission from booking links to GetYourGuide, Tiqets, and other authorized tour booking platforms. These commissions do not affect your booking price—you pay the same amount whether you book through our links or directly through the platform.

We only recommend tour operators and services we believe offer good value. Recommendations are made based on research, experience, and user feedback—not commission maximization.

We are a participant in affiliate programs, which means we may earn a small commission if you make a booking through our links. This helps support our website and content creation.

3. Content Accuracy

We make reasonable efforts to ensure information is accurate and current. However:

  • Prices change: Tour prices, discounts, and package details are subject to change. Always verify current prices on official booking platforms.
  • Schedules vary: Departure times, tour routes, and availability vary by season and day. Check official operator websites for current schedules.
  • Policies differ: Cancellation policies, accessibility features, and included amenities vary between operators. Confirm details with your booking platform.
  • Dates matter: Information in our guides is accurate as of the publication date but may become outdated. Subscribe to operator websites for current information.

4. Your Responsibility When Booking

By using links on this website to book tours, you acknowledge that:

  • You are directly booking with the tour operator or booking platform, not with Loch-Ness.Tours
  • You are responsible for reviewing all terms, conditions, and policies before booking
  • You should verify tour details, schedules, and prices with the operator before confirming your booking
  • You understand our role is informational—we cannot arrange bookings or handle customer service

5. Liability Disclaimer

Loch-Ness.Tours is not responsible for:

  • Tour cancellations, delays, or changes by operators
  • Injuries, accidents, or incidents during tours
  • Lost or damaged belongings
  • Weather-related disruptions
  • Booking errors or payment issues (contact your booking platform)
  • Technical issues with third-party booking platforms
  • Poor customer service or dissatisfaction with operators

For issues related to your booking, contact the tour operator or booking platform directly. We cannot process refunds, reschedule tours, or handle customer complaints.
