Great tour

5.00This tour was great. We got to see beautiful places all over the highlands and our tour guide, Jamie, was great. He added a few bonus stops since we had time and allowed us to see lots of great views while also sharing engaging Scottish history with us as we drove. Definitely worth taking this tour and would highly recommend it.
Really impressed

5.00I genuinely can’t tell whether I’m more impressed by Karis’s encyclopaedic knowledge or by the fact she can manoeuvre a bus through the Scottish Highlands as if she were popping down to Tesco. It’s the first time I’ve been on a tour where the guide is also the driver — and somehow, while navigating cliffs, sheep and questionable weather, she still manages to deliver a steady stream of fun facts without sounding like a history podcast you regret starting. Truly the undisputed queen of multitasking. Honestly, girl, hats off. As for the tour, it’s a pretty great way to see the Highlands when you’re short on time. You get all the main highlights, and despite the endless kilometres, the whole thing stays surprisingly pleasant.
Awesome trip!

5.00It’s been a great tour. Jack is very knowledgeable, he explains every history very well. I learned a lot about Scotland history. Emma was a very good driver. Her smooth driving didn’t give me any headache from the winding road.
A great time!

5.00Emma is the best driver in the world. The ride was so smooth! Jack is cool. His stories were not at all boring. He's tall. Would love to have had more than ten minutes in Glencoe, otherwise it was fantastic!
