Fantastic experience with a fantastic guide! - A really nice tour where the guide took us through and past all the beautiful places that the landscape had to offer. I have been to these parts before but this time the experience was quite different as Nicky made these 13 hours something out of the ordinary. Her renderings of both real historical events and tall tales and often in a simple and jocular tone (with many laughs for the company) were wonderful. At the same time she managed to keep ‘us together’ based on times that needed to be taken care of and gave tips on sights - many thanks! 🙏

Excellent day tour - A lovely day out, made even better by Nicky, who gave us so much information. The perfect tour guide! Would have been better if we had a bit more time at some of the locations but is understandable as it's such a long day. I would highly recommend this tour, you will not be disappointed

Great tour, would do again and again - Nicky was amazing! She had so many fun facts and stories as we drove and was more than happy to answer questions. Couldn’t have asked for a better Highlands tour! Thought the Jacobite would be the highlight of the day but was really just the icing on the cake.

Good overview of trip heading towards Isle of Skye - Beautiful day with lovely sights. Expect a long ride with short stops. You cover a lot of territory. Train ride is the best part.

West highlands are beautiful. - Beautiful countryside and Jacobite train was wonderful. A long day and most time spent in vehicle. Be prepared for windy roads. Eiranne was a terrific guide. Her description of the are and stories of the past were terrific.
