Morag did a great job explaining the history and encouraged me to appreciate the beauty of the highlands. She’s also very knowledgeable about films and cracked a few good jokes.

Jonathan was a fantastic guide-very funny and informative. The scenery on this tour is lovely (and you get a quick glance at the Kelpies as well).

It's a very on schedule and compact trip. I like we accomplished so many things in one day :) Shug our driver guide was amazing with his tour and driving. Everything was very smooth. The only thing I would wish a little bit different was that viewpoint for the bridge at Glenfinnan Viaduct - we did not see the curve part of the bridge when the train arrived, just the straight part, as we didn't know we needed to go to another viewpoint which is further away. We didn't know which way to go as we were not accompanied to the viewpoint (I did remember we're told there were different viewpoints on the bus but we didn't know which was which when we got off). I think there's another tour on Viator (same company) that gives you more time at Glenfinnan Viaduct, which would probably allow you to go to that further spot if you care about the viewpoint a lot. We did manage to go somewhere near that other viewpoint afterwards for more pictures as we had a bit of time left, which was nice. All in all, we really like Shug and the tour!
That was a true highlight of our Scottish trip!

We saw fabulous places on the way - everything ran very smoothly and our guide was both entertaining and classy. We loved his sense of humour and how serious he was about historical accuracy when telling us the story of Scotland. Highly recommended!
