Excellent Tour - Jam-Packed with Activities and Sights - Great Guide

2-Day Steam Train and Great Glen Tour - This was an excellent tour that covered a lot of sights, had two boat cruises and a very scenic train ride. Our tour guide Graeme was outstanding - extremely personable and knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure we were in the right place for tours etc. at the right time. Our optional upgrade hotel was outstanding and our bus was very comfortable even for a 6'5" (1.95m) person.

Swedish in the Highlands

Absolutely amazing trip. Our guide, Chris was perfect and took very good care of us if any problems came up. Incredibly beautiful views and many opportunities to see the most beautiful parts of the Highlands. Went with my 15-year-old son who appreciated it as much as I did, especially the Loch Ness tour and the train ride, of course.

Great sights & stories with kilt-clad Scotsman

Our driver/tour guide Stephen B was brilliant. Obviously he's a very proud Scotsman who wanted our lovely group from many different countries to fully enjoy immerse ourselves in the stories & legends of of the Highlands whether terrible battles where many lives were lost or mysterious stones & burial mounds thousands of years old. Stunning scenery can be found around every corner... tranquil lochs, pretty waterfalls, mist-shrouded peaks & ruined castles there's a tale to be told behind one. Add in a Jacobite steam train that crosses high viaducts, a picturesque fishing village & a cute B&B for an overnight stay & it makes for a great 2-day adventure.

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
