So much fun walking back...

Kathleen_S, Aug 2025
So much fun walking back off the road and up the hill to get a good view of the train as it went by. Very scenic too. So many people from all over the world there. Everyone so respectful, no craziness. Rare these days. Glencoe and Highlands absolutely breath taking.

Amazing time with a one of a kind guide!

Britt_C, Aug 2024
We had the most amazing time. I honestly believe that our tour guide, Campbell, was part of what made this experience so special! He went above and beyond for us and was extremely knowledgeable of all the areas we went through. He was interested in the parts we wanted to see and highlighted things he picked up on that we were looking for. There was not a question he wasn't able to answer for us. We saw towering mountains, cairns, castles, and the steam from the steam engine at the viaduct was awesome! The experience in general was incredible. We will absolutely use this tour company (and hopefully have Campbell again) in the future! This is a must go adventure!
