5.00For around £65 per person the trip from Edinburgh is totally worth the views and the guide was nice and knowledgeable!! The Harry Potter bridge was awesome when looking so close.
Fine if you like bus travel.

3.00Guide Greig and driver were fine. Told a lot of information along the way in a pleasant way. Bus was also fine (no USB charger on the bus so power bank with you). The first 2 stops were not interesting. Also Fort William is nothing to see. You stop at a parking lot with souvenir shop. That's all there is. The same goes for the last stop if it is a bit busier. Some other stops are interesting, but it keeps rushing to see something. The total journey time was 1145. I think it’s about the pattern of expectations: if you go for the view during the trip, it’s fine. The journey is mainly sitting in the bus.
Recommended!

5.00Mark did a great job! The ease with which he drove through the sometimes narrow highs and lows of the Highlands while still telling interesting information and stories is remarkable!☺️

5.00Our guide George’s passion for his job and love for his country made this long tour into an incredibly entertaining and enjoyable experience. He showed us so many different places, viewpoints and monuments while sharing with us loads of interesting stories about each attraction, never let us miss the chance to notice something special about the Scottish highlands. Extremely kind, funny and inspiring guide. Thank you George!
Historias de suspense y el "Fernando Alonso" de los buses

5.00¡Recomendamos totalmente esta excursión! Gregg ha sido un guía increíble, divertido y entretenido; sabe cómo jugar con el suspense cuando cuenta una historia. Pero no nos olvidemos de Adam, el 'Fernando Alonso' de los autobuses, un conductor excelente. Verle aparcar el bus en sitios imposibles es toda una hazaña digna de ver. ¡Repetiremos! We highly recommend this tour! Gregg was an amazing, funny, and engaging guide; he really knows how to build suspense when telling a story. But let’s not forget Adam, the ‘Fernando Alonso’ of buses—an excellent driver. Watching him park the bus in impossible spots is a feat worth seeing. We’ll definitely be back!
The best tour to see highlands
