Exceptional tour experience with Willie! The itinerary was so much fun and really well laid out. Willie was punctual, very funny, informative, and genuinely cared if everyone were enjoying themselves. This was the perfect way to enjoy the highlands with limited time in the area, we saw so much!

Many things to see in one day, what was great. We truly enjoyed the trip and the time was well spent. There are lots of pictures places. However, not really possible to take good pictures trough bus or train window. Perhaps the tour guide could have some more silent moments and speak of things relevant to this tour. Never the less, it was a really great tour. Definitely would recommend.
