Our tour guide was great! Enjoyed the time given at stops, especially Glenfinnan. Would definitely recommend this tour for couples or small groups.
Wonderful day out, very well run itinerary and awesome driver and guide Deborah! Everything went very smoothly, we had enough breaks throughout the day and we absolutely loved Deborah’s stories. Only feedback we have is the tight spaces between the seats.
We were very pleased with this tour. Our guide, Anthony, shared entertaining stories, interesting facts about Scotland, and his own personal insights, which made the journey both informative and enjoyable. The only reason we're not giving it the highest rating has nothing to do with the guide or the destinations themselves. Rather, it was because every stop was crowded with tourists, and the tour was very long (12 hours). Due to the tight schedule, there was little room for flexibility at each stop, which meant everything had to run with military precision. The older members of our group found this quite stressful, while those of us who were younger managed it more easily. Overall, it was an excellent tour, and we're very happy to have experienced the stunning Scottish Highlands in such a well-organized way.
Great tour and great guide (Keith). A great scenery and the guide was funny, had a lot of information and was looking that we got the best views, enough time for the train and insider tips what to do next. We had a great time and I would recommend this tour every time.
We saw a variety of beautiful and historic places in the Scottish countryside. It was a great change of scenery when you‘re otherwise staying in the city. Our guide Deborah did an awesome job entertaining us with with a mix of history and fun facts. She was friendly with a great sense of humour. Since the trip is 12h you‘ll need to bring some stamina - but we definitely found it worth it. PS: Try the whiskey ice creme
We enjoyed everything on this tour. It was great for all types of travelers. From nature to history to even Harry Potter, our tour guide/bus driver was fantastic and knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone wanting to experience the highlands from Edinburgh.
Leon was an amazing guide and driver, truly giving the best experience with hilarious commentary and stories. 1000% would reccomend.
The day trip to the Highlands was definitely worth it! Our guide Leon was fantastic and struck the perfect balance with his commentary—informative and engaging. Although you do spend quite a bit of time on the coach, the well-timed stops and the breathtaking scenery along the way make the journey fly by. I'd definitely recommend this tour!
The transport was very comfortable. The guide was very knowledgeable about the sights along the way. The hairy coos did what coos do. They eat and then ignore you. Honey, Baxter and Hamish. They were great. We got to see the train cross the viaduct. Ice cream was eaten after enjoying burgers (with a waterfront view) for lunch. The Isle of Skye scandal was addition to the tour. I highly recommend this tour.
Wonderful day visiting the highlands. Keith, our driver and commentator skillfully guided us through the main points of Scottish history, managing to make it both very interesting and accessible. We got to see the highlights of the highlands, without feeling like we were being rushed. While it is a very intensive trip of bus all day, we got to stretch our legs in upwards of 6 stunning places, including one where we could have lunch (the small town of fort William, although please note that the fort has been destroyed and only the very low walls remain). It is a bus of roughly 50 people, but most of the time is spent quietly listening to the driver’s explanations or very immersive playlist, and we are then free to roam on our own outside the bus, so the crowd does not change much about the experience. I recommend arriving early before the meeting point to have a seat with a good window. (All seats feature windows, but some, like the front seats, are better). A recommendation for the company would be to create little maps of the stops where we spend more time, with the recommendations of restaurants and sights highlighted. Passengers could take a photo and use it as an aid, without having to worry about forgetting how to get to somewhere nice after having received oral directions.
