Privé Harry Potter, Glenfinnan-viaduct, Highland Edinburgh-tour
Beschrijving
Ga met ons mee voor een privétour terwijl we beginnen aan een echt magische Harry Potter-themapelgrimstocht door het hart van Schotland en naar de Hooglanden. Bekijk vanaf een geschikt uitkijkpunt de Hogwarts Express terwijl deze het wereldberoemde Glenfinnan Viaduct kruist. Denk na over het aangrijpende Commando Memorial. Bewonder de ontzagwekkende landschappen van de Highlands bij Glencoe. Geniet van het handmatig voeren van de Highland 'Coos', en maak een snelle foto voor Doune Castle, de setting van Outlander, Game of Thrones, en de klassieke Monty Python en de Heilige Graal. Maak eeuwigdurende dierbare herinneringen die de ware essentie van Schotland vastleggen. OPMERKING De Jacobitische trein is niet operationeel tussen 25 oktober en 27 maart, in deze maanden zullen we nog steeds het Viaduct bezoeken, maar we zullen de trein niet voorbij zien gaan.

Reisroute
De Forth Road Bridge is een gerenommeerd UNESCO-werelderfgoed en verbindt de historische nederzettingen van Noord- en Zuid-Queensferry. De oudste brug dateert uit 1890 en is een iconisch symbool van de gedurfde techniek van Schotland uit de 19e eeuw.
Een geweldige stop, toiletten en een koffiebar, natuurlijk is onze belangrijkste attractie het met de hand voeren van onze geliefde 'Highland Coos'.
De Dalwhinnie-distilleerderij, beroemd om zijn single malt, is de hoogste distilleerderij in Schotland op ruim 300 meter boven zeeniveau.
Op 90 minuten afstand staat het Commando Monument, een groot bronzen beeld van drie cijfers ter herdenking van de diensten en opofferingen die duizenden geallieerde troepen tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog hebben geleverd, met Ben Nevis op de achtergrond.
Een rit van 30 minuten brengt ons naar onze hoofdattractie. Omarm de magische setting van deze wereldberoemde Harry Potter-filmlocatie en wees getuige van de stoomtrein ‘Hogwarts Express’ die het Glenfinnan Viaduct oversteekt. Het is ons doel om om 12.20 uur aan te komen, de Jacobitische trein is het beste te zien vanaf de heuvel achter het viaduct, het is 25 minuten lopen, de trein wordt verwacht tussen 13.10 en 13.30 uur
Ben Nevis, die boven alle andere bergen in Groot-Brittannië uitsteekt, is de hoogste en overschaduwt Fort William. We nemen je mee naar een uitkijkpunt waar je het landschap kunt bewonderen en boeiende foto's kunt maken. Op 30 minuten rijden van het viaduct
De Three Sisters of Glencoe - de meest gefotografeerde plek in Schotland - zijn drie bergtoppen die 420 miljoen jaar geleden werden gevormd door een supervulkaan, en de vallei daaronder die gedurende miljoenen jaren door gletsjers werd uitgesleten. Er zit een verborgen vallei achter die door de MacDonald-clan werd gebruikt om vee te verbergen dat van hun buren was gestolen. 30 minuten rijden van Fort William
Een rit van 20 minuten brengt ons naar Rannoch Moor, het wordt vaak de meest verlaten plek in Groot-Brittannië genoemd, omdat het de grootste moerasvlakte van de Britse eilanden is. Het werd ook gebruikt als decor voor het filmen van scènes uit de relieken van de dood van Harry Potter
Een rit van 5 minuten brengt ons naar het uitkijkpunt Loch Tulla en omvat alles wat de Hooglanden te bieden hebben, van oprijzende bergen tot meren en dennenbossen.
We onderbreken de reis naar huis en maken een korte stop om de Highland Hairy 'Coos' met de hand te voeren bij Callander Woollen Mill. Een 60 minuten rijden van Tulla Loch
Op 20 minuten rijden van Kilmahog ligt Doune Castle, een belangrijk Schots historisch kasteel, dat ook een filmlocatie was voor populaire tv- en bioscoopfilms, zoals Outlander, Game of Thrones en Monty Python en de Heilige Graal. Korte stop voor foto's. 1 uur rijden terug naar Edinburgh
Stirling Castle, een van de belangrijkste en grootste kastelen in de Schotse geschiedenis, ligt op de top van een heuvel van vulkanisch gesteente boven de stad Stirling.
De Kelpies zijn de grootste paardenbeelden ter wereld en zijn niet alleen in opdracht gemaakt als eerbetoon aan de paarden die in de Schotse kolenmijnen worden gebruikt, maar ook als weergave van de mythische Kelpies uit de Schotse sprookjesfolklore.

It was a long day but we covered so much territory - the journey was full of interesting facts and discussions! Colin balanced the driving with stopping to stretch legs and check out views and buy souvenirs. The trip was very well thought out. He made sure to check that we were getting the experience we wanted and was so great with the kids (10 and 12) — he was delightful! Highly recommend!
Such a lovely review, Mark! Thank you so much for the recommendation, Colin really is a fantastic guide. Thanks again!
Simon was awesome! He did a great job! Super knowledgeable- very friendly-really impressed with the whole experience! Highly recommend him and the trip!
Our Harry Potter themed tour is a fantastic day out, many thanks for your wonderful review and kind compliments to Simon your guide.
Even though it rained most of the day we still had a great day traveling to the highlands and back to Edinburgh thanks to our driver and guide Gerry. He made sure all of our requests were met and our Grandson Ethan saw as much Harry Potter sites as possible and his knowledge and history of Scotland was amazing. We definitely recommend this tour and if Gerry is your driver and guide, even better.
Gerry will really appreciate your 5 star review of our Harry Potter themed tour, many thanks.
My friend Emily and I went on a private Harry Potter tour with Chrissie from E2G. Firstly, Chrissie reached out prior to our tour to inquire about any food allergies and to give us a few reminders about the upcoming trip. Chrissie was at our hotel promptly to pick us up, where she greeted us warmly. Chrissie was very personable. She chatted with us throughout the day, giving us information about not only Harry Potter scenes, but also answered any questions we had about anything (coos, history, mountains, dogs, etc.) It was more like a trip with a friend rather than with a stranger. We visited the two different spots with hairy coos, the Glenfinnan Viaduct (although the train did not go over, we did discuss the history of the Jacobites and still had a chance to watch the train later.) We saw Dumbledore's burial, Hagrid's hut, stopped at the three sisters monroes, stopped for lunch at a nice little place, a castle where Game of Thrones and another show (apologies for my memory!) was used for parts of the videos, and then the Kelpies. She also brought us to a local place for dinner at the end before dropping us off at the hotel. We experienced cows crossing the road, amazing laughs, jokes, shared some personal details about ourselves, so again - it felt so warm and more like being a friend rather than a scripted tour company. Chrissie worked so hard to give an amazing experience. Although some things occurred along the way that wasn't to plan, we were so thankful for Chrissie and had an absolutely memorable time with her. We will always recommend E2G! Chrissie followed up afterwards to ask if we wanted/needed any additional advice or recommendations for other things to do/see/eat in Scotland for the remainder of our stay, which was so thoughtful! It was also very clear that she and E2G want to provide the best experience possible to their guests. Although the fee is more for a private tour than a group tour from other companies, E2G is absolutely worth it every penny.
What an amazing review Kyrstin, it sounds like you and Emily had the most wonderful Harry Potter themed tour with one of our most cherished guides Chrissie. Many thanks for your 5 ⭐️ rating and taking the time to write such detailed feedback.. Thankyou 💗
This is a great experience to go out see Harry Potter landscapes as well as seeing the high lands and low Tour. Of Scotland. Taimur was a great Tour Guide that went out of his way to make sure we truly had an epic time. He was extremely knowledgeable and took us to more stops then we expected and was dedicated to making this more then just a tour.
Fantastic feedback and high praise for Taiymur, many thanks for your 5 star rating
The tour was very nice and enjoyable, the car was clean and comfortable, the snacks were nice, we also had an amazing time with our guide Taimur, who was very knowledgeable, detailed, and knew just how to capture our attention on a very long trip, he made it a very enjoyable trip and experience for us, the scenery was breathtaking, and the weather was very nice.
Thank you for your review of our tour and guide Taiymur. We are pleased you had an enjoyable day!
Ryan was fantastic. He kept us on schedule but didn't make us feel rushed and covered a LOT of miles. The Scottish countryside was absolutely stunning.
Thank you for your review. Ryan is a fantastic guide who always makes every effort to ensure our guests have a good time!
It was bad experience because I booked private tour which should be start at 8:30 but the driver came at 10 During this time I contacted VIATOR but they did nothing except wasting my time
First of all, let me apologise for your bad experience on this occasion, and allow me to reiterate what happened on the day. Our guide had your incorrect phone number, which was a digit out. He thought he had made contact with you and arranged a pickup location, as there is no vehicle access to the hotel where you were staying in Princes Street. You had asked for a later pickup time, and we had explained that an 8.30am start was required on this occasion to see the train at 1:20. When you were late showing up, our guide assumed you had decided to go for the later pickup time you had requested and decided to wait for you at the arranged site. Meanwhile, I appreciate you had contacted Viator customer support, but we cannot be held accountable for their failing in dealing with the situation. As soon as we were made aware of the issue, the correct number was given to our guide, who then picked you up at 9:40. He rearranged the tour to take you to all the sites listed, and see the later train at 3:00pm, which you seemed happy with. However, we determined that on this occasion our service had not been to the standard to be expected due to the miscommunication and later start of the tour, and we offered you a partial refund as compensation, which you refused. Once again, I am sorry the experience was not to the standard you and we had hoped for.
From the very start, Phil provided a fantastic day that we will remember for the rest of our lives. His knowledge of the Glencoe area is second to none—he knew all the hidden gems and breathtaking viewpoints, and was so attentive to our interests and needs throughout the journey. The car was incredibly comfortable, making the whole experience even more relaxing and enjoyable. Phil went above and beyond in every way. He stopped at all the most beautiful spots, including some personal locations we requested, and made sure we saw everything we wanted (and more!). What really set this tour apart, though, was Phil’s warmth and professionalism—he truly cared about making our day special. Phil is also an outstanding professional photographer. My partner and I had no idea that our trip would become the best day of our lives—my partner proposed at the Jacobite train viaduct, and without any notice, Phil captured the moment perfectly! The photos are absolutely stunning and will be treasured forever. To top it all off, Phil provided an outstanding local whisky, making our trip home and engagement even more memorable. He genuinely went above and beyond at every turn. We are so grateful for his kindness, attention to detail, and expertise. We can’t recommend Phil highly enough—if you have the chance to book a tour with him, do it! You’ll be in the best hands. We were so impressed that we’ll be inviting Phil to our wedding! Thank you, Phil, for making our day absolutely magical.
A 'mind blowing' review for such a special moment in your life! congratulations on your engagement! We are proud that you have chosen E2G to be your tour operator bearing witness to a new chapter in your life, having our resident photographer Phil, made your 'day' that little bit more special.
Excellent attention and service, respectful, flexible and high enjoyable. Very nice and punctual schedule for Harry Potter Train.
It's always nice to get a 5 star review and we appreciate it from you, the Harry potter themed tour is very popular thanks to reviews like your own, many thanks...
