5.00Just finished a Highlands day tour from Edinburgh, and Adam was an incredible guide. He was funny, knowledgeable, and engaging from the very start, bringing the history and stories of the Highlands to life with great humor and energy. He struck the perfect balance between sharing fascinating facts and letting us take in the scenery, and it genuinely felt like exploring with a friend. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !
Great luck!

4.00Great narration and interaction by Tour Guide Mr Mark. The journey duration is ideal, if you just want to view iconic scenery, as you are being transported and told about Scotland history as we visit some landmarks.

5.00We had a lovely time on this trip! The coach was clean and tidy. Our guide Mark (the Australian) was funny and very knowledgable keeping us entertained with history, personal stories of his travels and Harry Potter. We stopped at multiple places with ample time to do what we wanted at each stop. The highlight for us was the Glenfinnan viaduct. Would recommend to others!
