Steven B is the BEST

Could not have been happier with our guide and the gorgeous views. We learned a lot from Steven B. (B is for BEST) with his delightful anecdotes along the trip. Wonderful time for sure and we’d happily repeat it. Our accommodations at the Abbey House were very nice and comfy as well.

Highlands Adventure with an Amazing Guide

We absolutely loved this tour! The Highlands were breathtaking, the Jacobite steam train was everything we hoped it would be, and Steven B. was an amazing guide. He was funny, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and shared so much Scottish history along the way without ever making it feel like a history lesson. The whole trip was relaxed, well organized, and full of incredible scenery and stops. This was easily one of the highlights of our Scotland trip, and we would absolutely recommend it, especially if you’re lucky enough to get Steven B. as your guide!
