5.00It’s a one-day trip to Glencoe, Fort William, and the Glenfinnan Viaduct, running from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. It’s an excellent way to experience more of Scotland beyond Edinburgh, enjoying the breathtaking landscapes and the incredible autumn colors of nature. Our guide, Connor, was the best guide we’ve ever had! Even though it was a long bus journey, he made it easy, comfortable, and fun. His jokes were awesome and really helped us enjoy the trip. I highly recommend this tour!

Good tour / bad choice of lunch stop

3.00Good tour with an informative and entertaining guide, Vix, and great driver, Adam. We enjoyed the day. I’m giving a 3-star review solely based on the choice of lunch stop at a gift-shop-dominated cafeteria devoid of charm. The venue chosen was too far from the charming downtown of Fort William (that offered quaint restaurants) for us to eat there given the time allotted. Given that Fort William is a headline stop on the tour, we deserved better than we got. You can do better, Timberbush.
A stunningly beautiful day in Scotland!

4.00We had a fabulous day with Vix and Adam! Vix had great stories to share during the long bus ride and she really kept our group on schedule during the long trip. Adam was a skilled driver for some very twisty and tight roads/parking spots. We saw incredibly beautiful places and it felt magical. One thing that could be improved was the lunch stop in Fort William. We stopped in an area that really was not picturesque and there was not much time to walk elsewhere. All our other stops were quite charming.
