Traveler reviews
History and beauty
Great experience! Our guide Steven B was very knowledgeable and entertaining as well as being a very good driver, he gave us lots of info and clear instructions when needed. Will definitely use this company again! Oh and the B&B was a 10/10
2-day Jacobite steam train & Great Glen tour
🏴 A great taster tour introducing you to some of Scotland's historical landmarks and awesome scenery, led by an entertaining and well informed guide/driver Steven B. Highly recommended 👍
Lots of time on the bus,...
Lots of time on the bus, but frequent stops for pictures. Our guide, Kenneth, was very knowledgeable and full of interesting facts, and very attentive to his passengers. There were times when we couldn’t understand or hear him, either because of other noise, or at times he spoke too fast., but overall he was a very good guide. And a great driver. The tour included an overnight stay at a B&B. It was a nice and clean place, although the bed was a bit small for my 6’4” husband. The host was very friendly and the breakfast was nice. The train ride was a great experience.
A magical and unforgettable experience in the Highlands
This 2-day tour of the Highlands completely exceeded our expectations. One of the best tour guides I've ever had. Kenny has a very warm, respectful and attentive personality. We laughed a lot during the 2 days of the tour, and it was very inspiring to travel with a very cultured guide who has an innate love of his country, besides that I took a very nice musical playlist from Scotland. The tour was simply spectacular: mountains, lakes and landscapes that look like they were taken from a dream. Apart from the Highlands Experience Tours operator in Edinburgh, it has excellent customer service. Thank you very much Kenny!!
For those who love to stop often and eat many snacks
We made long stops just to buy snacks and stopped many times for a few minutes to take photos by the roadside. Although it was planned in the itinerary, we weren't able to stop to see Loch Ness or Urquhart Castle (Not entirely true, since we saw them from the side of the road.) The train was beautiful from the outside but there is no real interest to be inside. It must be much more beautiful to see the viaduct from the outside. Furthermore, part of the group took the train for the outward journey, and the other part for the return journey. We had to wait again, doing nothing, until the rest of the group arrived. In short the scenery was beautiful, but only from the bus, from the train and from the side of the road. I was really looking forward to this excursion and I was very disappointed.
