Scottish highlands tour - Remember the name — KEITH! He took us everywhere, told us everything, and kept us laughing the whole way. Full of great stories, a wicked sense of humor, amazing taste in music 🎵 — and not a bad photographer either 😁 The Scottish Highlands experience is truly better with him!

stunning views of the plateau and viaduct from the Harry Potter films. - The trip was extraordinary. The driver Keith is wonderful guide, tells wonderful stories, is well-prepared, helpful, and answers questions. The icing on the cake is the Scottish music he plays between stories about Scottish history. The bus is comfortable and clean. I recommend a tour with this operator.

Very enjoyable and interesting - It was a very interesting and enjoyable trip. Keith was our driver and guide. He is a very capable driver and brilliant story teller. We enjoyed the stops and we were lucky to see the steam train passing by at the Glenfinnan viaduct. Although it was a long trip, it didn't feel as long due to the entertaining stories Keith shared about the history of Scotland, Harry Potter and the other movies that were filmed in the Highlands. Thanks Keith! 😃

Unforgettable Stops, Stories and Laughs - Absolutely amazing experience! Keith was awesome — super friendly, knowledgeable, and made everything so enjoyable (you said “tough crowd,” but I was laughing hard!). The places we visited were stunning, each spot more beautiful than the last. It was such a great mix of breathtaking views, fascinating stories, and local lore. Truly an unforgettable experience — I’d definitely go again!

Tour that was the highlight of my trip to Scotland - This tour was the highlight of my trip to Scotland! The tour agency promised a 12h tour to Highlands of Scotland and they delivered! I am absolutely happy with the way the tour went: we had several stops with a good amount of time to shop, take pictures, eat etc. Big thanks to our tour guide/driver Keith. He was the star: amazing driver, got us through nice and smooth, very knowledgeable, spoke history throughout the tour and he has an amazing humor! We laughed a lot! The buss is pretty comfortable and warm. I would like to thank the company and especially our diver/ tour guide Keith for making my trip memorable and special! Highly recommend, worth every penny!

An amazing Experience - It was a truly incredible experience! Keith was hilarious and made me laugh so much, and his stories covered everything from the history of Scotland to references to Harry Potter, Outlander, and even 007. Best of all, he even taught us some proper Scottish words like 'Aye'. Loved it!

Our time in the Highlands - My parents and I had a great time during this tour. The bus itself was comfortable and the guide (Keith) had very nice stories to tell with many songs that accompanied the stories. The views were amazing and we had many points we stopped at, which was great for taking pictures. We had enough time during every stop to take pictures, have lunch/coffee/etc. There wasn’t one time I was bored during the bus ride since Keith told us many stories and explained very nicely how and when we’d arrive at certain areas. Overall this experience was AMAZING and definitely worth the long trip. As a Harry Potter fan I obviously enjoyed the viaduct and train experience the most, but everything was beautiful. The sheer beauty of Scotland is something I won’t forget. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

Recommended if you want a taste of the highlands on a one day trip - It was a pleasent journey with Keith, he was really funny and entertaining. We arrived everywhere right on time. We got every piece of information we needed. I recommend this trip to anybody who wants to visit the highlands and get some taste of it. Nitpick: you could play less sad/moody songs.
