Steam train and scenery- what’s not to like!
Brilliant day out with our guide Martin who was a great guide and wonderful story teller. The train journey lived up to expectations and the other stops gave us a fantastic taste of the highlands and the lochs in a day, all brought to life by Martin’s stories.

Unforgettable experience
Fantastic tour. Louise was such a great guide, always cheerful and very knowledgeable. Excellent choice of viewpoints along the way. The Jacobite train ride was a one of a kind experience. The staff on the train was also very friendly and attentive. We would certainly recommend this tour.
