Highlands Tour
Generally beautiful tour. Our guide Key was very nice and entertained us during the trip, and he was excellent at keeping the schedule to give us the opportunity to see everything. The lunch location is poor; I recommend bringing your own food because there isn’t enough time to reach a different location from where the stop is made. The passing train is not the steam one, which leaves a bit of a bitter taste, but overall it is a nice experience.
