Everything about dis lil trip was perfect. The bus is super hella fanci, leg space, working sockets, big clean windows to watch all the views. Tour is packed, planned well, everything had enough time, souvenirs, toilets, everything planned to perfection. Immaculate driving. Onli compared to the beauty of the Highlands and magic of the Glenfinnan is how lovely tour guide Caitlin :3 is. Extremely knowledgeable about anything Scotland, absoluetely scottish, loved the music immersion and found out some new stuff that were so fascinating (i am never getting over the brothers stori) Absolute Tour Guide Queen. When she found out about my scottish tablet obsession, she recommended me the tablet ice cream and I had them in a gorgeous lil candy shop on our last stop. Stunning. Thank you so much for this day !!! Truly special.
I had an amazing day trip with Caitlin to the viaduct. I learned so many interesting things about Scottish culture and visited some incredible places where famous movies were filmed. We arrived well in advance to see the train, which gave us plenty of time to enjoy the experience without feeling rushed. The tour included more than enough viewpoints, each offering stunning scenery and great photo opportunities. Caitlin was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole day enjoyable and memorable. The trip was well organized, informative, and exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Scotland and looking to experience its breathtaking landscapes and rich history. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Friendly knowledge driver/guide who shared excellent information. Interaction with passengers was professional and helpful. Bus was clean and comfortable. Stayed on schedule and added extra stops. Overall wonderful experience.
Stuart is a very knowledgable guide and relaxed driver. With an earlier start we managed to beat the tourist-traffic, had some photo posts only for us and had a premium location for transpotting the harry potter express on the Glenfinn Viaduct. As a bonus we stopped by some extra lochs and heard nice Scottish music in the van. I wish i could stay for his Scottish Independence tour, well, that's for next time. I'd definately recommend his tours.
An excellent day trip to the Glenfinnan Viaduct and Highlands with Stewart Tours! The views were breathtaking, Fergio was absolutely fantastic and made the journey fun and informative. Highly recommend!

Amazing tour!! Caitlin was an absolutely amazing tour guide. Loved all of her fun stories and history of Scotland, also played an amazing mix of Scottish music. I am so glad I stayed in Glasgow over Edinburgh for this tour!! A newer company so it has less reviews, I wasn’t sure who to book with, but I was very satisfied with Stewart Tours and the price:)

It was a good trip with Stuart, our guide who explained us many things with humor and very typical anecdotes about history of highlands. Very friendly guide and very avaliable. Great moment with the Glenfinnan viaduc, perfect on time with the jacobite train😍. All was perfect except the weather but we were in Scotland, so the rain was our friend all day😉.
