Amazing experience! - Such a great tour where we got to see a lot of the highlands in one day. Graham our guide was the best! He had so much knowledge and told amazing stories both historical, cultural and funny histories a long the way while hearing Scottish music in the background. Such a well structured day out in the highlands with amazing scenarie and good breaks a long the way. Would definitely recommend others to take this trip if you come to Edinburgh and want to see/visit/get the highland experience with beautiful nature!

12 Hour tour felt like a short day - My wife Jodi and I had an Amazing Day on this tour. She got to feed and pet hairy coo, not once but twice. Highlight of our 4 day trip in Edinbrugh. Brodie was our guide and he was so full of information and made it interesting the whole trip, enjoyed interacting with him and his hairty coo Teddy. It did not seem like a 12 hour bus ride with Brodie at the helm. The views and places we went were spectacular and gave us the true Scotland experience. Brodie, thank you so much for an Awesome day.

Best tour guide for the best 1-day trip - Graham our guide was amazing. He had so much knowledge to share throughout the whole day, with humour and patience throughout. He spoke with such passion and made history come alive. Could not recommend him more! The trip itself was fantastic. Our guide pointed out so many things along the way, not just the things we stopped to see. My favorite part was seeing the Jacobite Express (being a big Harry Potter fan), but the hairy coos were a very close second. The sights and scenery in between was just beautiful, we fit so much into 1 day and the beauty of it leaves you wanting to see all the rest of Scotland!

Exceptional tour with an exceptional guide! - This tour was amazing! We saw a lot of sites in this all day tour from the quaint town of Callender (excellent bakery) to the Highlands and Viaduct and more. Our tour guide Stefan was exceptional. He was conversational, gave wonderful history and folklore and color to the sites and area. I hope to have Stefan again in the future!

Everything was sorted from the beginning till the end of our trip . From stopping for breakfast, to loch cruise - It was an amazing experience and a memorable one. No doubt about Scotland’s scenic beauty but Steven B (better) was a historian, a storyteller, and as well a wonderful guide.

It's a very convenient... - It's a very convenient road trip, essentially, of the highlights of the Scottish highlands. Getting to see the hairy coos up close is an amazing experience. Our driver and guide, John, was great. He shared interesting historical facts throughout the trip and had hilarious, punny jokes that kept us entertained.

Wonderful day trip from Edinburgh! - We loved this day long trip through Scotland from Edinburgh. Hugh was our tour guide and provided the best mix of history, pop culture, lore, and geography information…along with some comedy! I recommend this option for anyone considering renting by a car and visiting these sites, we got places on time and had someone to drive us and give us info along the way. Great trip!

Unforgettable Experience - We took the 1-day tour of the Highlands and our guide Chloe made sure to make it an unforgettable experience. She expertly mixed facts and fun while recounting the history of Scotland in general and of the Highlands in particular as we made our way from stop to stop in our itinerary. Recommended for anyone who wants to get a closer look and taste Scotland's magic!

Best tour I've ever been to!! - Tour to Glenfinnan Viaduct with Hugh as a guide, driver and entertainer is a definition of a perfect trip. Hugh made a fantastic job with all of the voiceover, facts, jokes and guide in general. Absolutely worth taking time to go on such a trip. Next time in Edinburgh, I will most likely use one of the tours again.
