Ryan was an excellent tour guide! We were able to see so much in the Highlands. The Hogwarts Express was lovely, and the Coos cows were a bonus!

Ryan did a great job. I absolutely loved all of his stories along the way. He was super friendly and eager to answer any questions. He’s also an excellent driver.

Beautiful to see. Very informative tour. At some of the stops, though, they were closed due to it being a Sunday...maybe that should have been listed in the information on the site.

Really enjoyed the train ride and the tour commentary. Very long day but we knew this before we booked.

We had an amazing time on this tour! Sophie was a fantastic guide, she was very friendly and we enjoyed her facts and learning all about Scotland’s history! As big Harry Potter fans, the Jacobite Steam Train was of course, the highlight of our trip, closely followed by the stunning views of the Scottish highlands. There are plenty of photo opportunities, which Sophie helpfully pointed out along the way. We would 100% recommend this tour!

Amazing trip through the highlands! Our guide Sophie did a fantastic job telling fun facts, historical stories and keeping a good atmosphere the whole trip. Can definitely recommend this trip as a Harry Potter nerd myself, but also if you’re just interested in exploring the Scottish nature.

Sophie was an amazing, funny, and knowledgeable tour guide that hit the perfect balance of knowing about it all, but leaving you peace and quiet. Also, given the difficulty of even piloting a car in Scotland, she deftly got the bus around.

Amazing tour, packed with side trips to beautiful lochs and invers of Scotland, photo opp for the Glenfinnan viaduct, and a 2hr steam train ride. Our tour guide Rich is very entertaining and jolly, easy to understand, and knows how to pace a packed tour bus. Highly recommended
