Vanuit Edinburgh : Glenfinnan, Highlands en Harige Coos

This tour was amazing with all the right stops! Craig was an amazing tour host!! Biggest bonus you do get to pet the Hairy Coo’s!!!

Wonderful and authentic experience with Hugh, our Piped Tour guide. The itinerary was well organized with adequate time spent at each of the key locations. Hugh was funny and knowledgeable, with a wicked sense of humor.

I had an incredible experience on this tour ranging from seeing the Jacobite train, feeding hairy coos, and admiring the spectacular mountains including Ben Nevis. Our tour guide, Chris, was excellent and provided lots of really interesting information and stories about where we were. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone!

It was a great time - our tour guide Dougie was definitely keepin it fresh (iykyk) *weeee* I wanted and need to see more hairy coos in the wild.

The excursion itself mostly delivered and can’t fault the tour company for the minor disappointments. I can always come back again. The guide was just ok. He was a bit cranky and didn’t seem to like answering questions. I understand the chaotic time of year, and that people on the tour not respecting the schedule (not me) is trying, but that’s his job.

Our tour guide was good - knowledgeable, kind, got everyone to the bus on time. That said, I would NEVER do this tour again. Of the 11 hours, probably 8 of them were on the bus. It was advertised as having many stops and I assumed we’d have more than 15-30 minutes at them, but the stops were brief and the bus parks a distance from advertised places, so 30 minutes isn’t really enough. You see the Highlands for hours through the bus window. Hours. One of the stops was literally at a supermarket and McDonald’s, and some were basically just rest stops. The Highlands are beautiful, but this tour is all driving, and, unfortunately, it felt like a waste of our precious few days in Scotland. In Callander, it says, “visitors can explore local shops and enjoy a meal.” We had 30 minutes - by the time we walked into town and got food, we had to walk back to the bus immediately. In Fort William, there is also no time to walk into town and have lunch, so you might as well shop at the supermarket (or McDonald’s) where we parked. “Relax and take in the rugged landscapes and ancient Caledonian pine forests” means sit on the bus for even more hours. Then a rest stop. Then coos at the end (sweet, on a small farm), but it’s basically another rest stop and you’re back on the bus. I’m actually really sad that we spent our time on this tour.

Rose was great! She was really knowledgeable about the history of Scotland, Harry Potter references to folk tales, the routes, the best places to stop for a comfort break, and shortcuts through the roadworks and festival traffic. The tours was great, The weather was expectedly dull by the time we reached our destination, we were soaked through, despite wearing winter coats. So a warning to the unwise, take some waterproofs and climbing shoes. because the pacamacs are £30 in the gift shop 😲 The trip takes you through some of the best countryside in the highlands and lowlands, it includes an historical commentary as we pass significant area's within history. Worth every penny.

Rose was super nice and I really enjoyed her stories!

Big bus, close to 40 on the tour. Train at viaduct not always on time. Not great food choices due to limited time at lunch stop.

This was quite a long day, which was expected. The bus was comfortable and the scenery was amazing! Our guide, Dougie, was an excellent historian and provided commentary throughout the tour, interchanged with tasteful music of Scotland. We had a wonderful time!!
