Traveler reviews
Worth while tour!
My sisters and I recently did the 2 day Highland/Jacobite train tour and it was amazing! Steven B was our guide and he was wonderful. Before every stop he would provide the history of where we were going, what to look out for, and any additional recommendation to add to our trip. The BnB we stayed in was lovely and extra cost for the Loch Ness ferry is definitely worth doing! If you’re looking to get the most out of the highlands within a short period of time, we highly recommend this tour! Thank you Steven B!
The Amazing Highlands
This tour was amazing. We loved everything about it. Ok so as Harry Potter fans, the highlight was the train ride, but there was so much to see and hear about. The optional Loch Ness Cruise was worth doing. My wife opted to stay on the boat while I visited Urquart castle. Both very interesting. Glencoe is stunning. Stephen B our tour guide was superb. So knowledgeable and passionate about Scotland and its history. ! We are so glad we did the 2 day tour, our overnight stop was so worth it. Such a packed tour of things to do and see. Its gonna take days to go through all my photos
Great tour
A well organised tour - Steven was an informative and amusing guide and made sure everyone had fun. Lots of stops at places of historical interest and natural beauty, and not even the rain could spoil the gorgeous Jacobite steam train ride. If you're considering a tour of the Highlands then this is far more relaxing than hiring a car.
2 day Edinburgh to Inverness tour
We took the 2 day tour with Doug, he was so personable, hilarious, and informative..hilariously informative! He kept us interested, engaged, and laughing throughout. In Fort Augustus we stayed at the Abbey Cottage, and Jason was a dreamboat, very funny, very warm. The accommodation was cozy and the company was friendly. We had the very best time and would do it again!
A Must Do Experience
10 stars. Such a great tour and the guide Steven was amazing. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining; really could not ask for a better guide. Got to see some incredible sights and a taste of what else the Highlands have to offer. There’s an option to add on a Loch Ness boat cruise and castle Urquhart visit - definitely a must. You need cash and it was 31 pounds for 1 adult ticket. I thought the distance between stops was pretty good, with the longest stretch between breaks was about 2 hours. The major stops are listed in the itinerary but there’s also quite a few others mixed in for small breaks.
