This tour was too long on an uncomfortable bus. I booked it as it has been a dream to ride the Hogwarts express. The tour was well organized with a decent guide named Ali who was very pleasant and informative. A few good stops. I was disappointed with the train experience. Had a bad viewing seat ( was assigned) difficult to take one photo. Not good value for the money.

The tour was extraordinary whether you’re a Harry Potter fan or not. The highlands are amazing, stunning, incredible. The train is so fun. The villages are beautiful. Now the good part. If you can get Braden as driver/guide. He is hilarious while also knowledgable about the history geography. You will love this!!!

Super funny and entertaining driver on a brilliant tour. Ride the Hogwarts express and see it crossing the viaduct on the way back. A must do when in Edinburgh.

10/10 the guide dougie was incredible, made a 13 hour day absolutely fly by, is there anything he doesn’t know about Scotland?. Would recommend to anyone Harry Potter fan or not as even if your not there’s plenty of opportunities to enjoy the incredible views!

Brilliant tour from start to finish. Brendan, our driver was informative, cheerful and nuts 😂🤣 we laughed most of the day. A wee bit drizzly, not uncommon in the Highlands, but that didn’t dampen his enthusiasm. He came equipped for the kids with brooms for the selfies where the quidditch matches were super imposed in the HP movies, silly songs and general organised mayhem. You will enjoy meeting Brendan’s friend Hamish and his travelling companion, Isla. Great value for the cost which includes tickets on the Jacobite Steam train to Mallaig.

We attended a tour today with my family. Brendan was out bus driver. What a fantastic day we have had ! Dry informative and lots of fun during the day. Brendan appeared very knowledgable of all aspects in the tour and made the tour very memorable. Never been on a tour like that but would certainly book again due to the positive experience today 10/10.
