10/10 tour
Peter our driver and guide was an absolute gem! He made this entire tour for me with his information he was sharing about everything and he played Scottish music as well. I recommend this tour to see everything but it is a long day. Make sure to dress for the weather and bring an umbrella just in case! Thank you Peter!

Great tour to see and learn
The tour with our guide Brian today was fun and interesting. My family and I have learned a lot about Scotland and its history. He gave us a lot of great recommendations for different sights to visit at each stop and it was evident that he put in a lot of effort to make sure all of us had a great time. Thank you, Brian!!

Fantastic Day Trip – Highly Recommended
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour.. It was a long day of approximately 13 hours, but it was well worth it. The tour covered an amazing amount of territory and gave us the opportunity to see so much of the spectacular Scottish Highlands in a relatively short time.
Our tour guide, Stephen B, kept us entertained and informed throughout the day, combining fascinating history with great stories and delivering them in his own uniquely humorous style. His knowledge and personality really added to the experience.
If you have limited time in Scotland but want to see as much of the Highlands as possible, I would highly recommend this tour. Not only do you get to experience some truly breathtaking scenery, but you also gain a wonderful insight into the history, culture and stories that make this such an amazing region.

Had a great time! Our bus...
Had a great time! Our bus driver and tour guide were amazing! I loved the tour guide’s historical knowledge and story telling. Often we find it a bit boring, but she made it fun and interesting.
What I don’t like is the lack of options for tipping. In other tours we’ve been on, there is a QR code on the bus, or some other way of tipping that doesn’t involve cash. So we weren’t able to tip our guide. This shouldn’t be.

Eilean Donan and Skye day trip.
Even on a rainy day, as it was today, plenty to see and hear about. Ben our driver and tour guide was excellent. He kept us well informed throughout, shared stories he had researched himself. Easy to speak too, friendly and always smiling.
As Scots who have been to Skye and surrounding area often, we chose the tour because we didn't know the history and of course we could relax rather than do the driving.
We weren't disappointed. Thanks Ben.

Scottish Highlands is a must!
So happy that we booked this tour to the Scottish Highlands! Stevie B navigated us safely on our journey while giving us great information along the way. His humor and kind manner made what could have been a very long day a truly wonderful experience for our family. We did not have many days in Edinburgh but sacrificing one city day was well worth it. The Highlands are so beautiful-don’t miss it! If you are prone to car sickness-don’t forget the Dramamine as you are on the bus for a long time.

Stewart was awesome. He...
Stewart was awesome. He suggested that we skip the town of Wick and extend the time at the castle and stop at a different location not listed to see the puffins. We drive through Wick, he was right not worth spending an hour in that town. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area . On drive back played very good soundtrack that he created.

A Brilliant Day Out
This tour was simply wonderful, with a variety of sites and activities and plenty of time at each of them. The bus was comfortable with air conditioning, and Harrison, our bus driver for the day, was a delight, keeping us informed and entertained throughout the whole journey. Overall, a fantastic experience! Thanks to Harrison for a wonderful time!

Fantastic choice for Outlander fans as well as causal viewers
This trip was fantastic. It was a last-minute decision, and I'm so glad I did it. Even if you're not a huge Outlander fan, it's worth it because you get to see several castles and some beautiful parts of the countryside. If you are an Outlander fan (as I am) it was truly awesome. Our guide, Esme, was fantastic. She was funny, earthy (but still respectful of the fact that there were children onboard), had plenty of comfort breaks, gave suggestions on where to go, and even walked us into the towns. One of the best guides I've had- and I've taken lots of these types of trips!

Fantastic trip to Isle of Skye
Sonia was a fantastic guide. She had the right mix of humor, storytelling and history. The beautiful scenery speaks for itself but she added her gift for storytelling which made the whole experience that much better. If I could change one thing it would be to have fewer stops but stay longer at a few like Portree and Eilean Donan Castle.

Wonderful Highland Tour from Inverness
If you are looking for a train to be part of the tour, that didn't happen due to a last-minute change from the railroad operators. HOWEVER, our tour guide, Louise, was fantastic and safely drove us around the Highlands to visit some beautiful places, and we saw everything that we would have seen on the train (which I have experienced before). She was a beast at handling the bus on those "wiggly-squiggly" roads (as she described them), and I was happy to take a break from driving on the left side of the road and let her navigate us. As a native Scot, she told us many wonderful tales of Highland traditions along the way. She even quoted poetry! I always felt safe while she was driving, and she was professional and lots of fun.

This tour was amazing, we...
This tour was amazing, we had Cara as a driver and she was phenomenal! So knowledgeable and hilarious. It wasn’t a 100% Harry Potter tour but both Cara and the train staff was absolutely incredible at pointing out every Harry Potter point of interest. Bus was also comfortable.
