5.00Really enjoyed the day tour as we got to see landscape of Scotland. Vix's customer service was excellent, we learnt a lot about local facts where she clearly explained in a very entertaining way, and when she found out we were very attracted to highland cows, she bothered to find out where we can see and feed them and threw extra 1 stop and that made the day completes
Great tour

5.00We were picked up on time at the agreed location in a small air-conditioned bus and the tour went well before, as Mohammed relaxed the mood despite fatigue and explained the tour. The stops were also beautiful to watch and Mohammed made the ride very entertaining with his jokes and stories. The actual “viewpoint” at Glenfinnan Viaduct is not particularly worth seeing, in my opinion, here it is more recommended to take the path to the bridge directly (15 minutes walk). Around successful tour for all fans of nature, history and Harry Potter. We missed the train because we only travelled in December, but the sight of the bridge as a fan was still great.
Great tour from Edinburgh to Glenfinnan Viaduct

5.00We took the tour to Glenfinnan Viaduct from Edinburgh. It was a fantastic tour, and our driver/guide Mohammed was amazing. The roads were winding once we got up to the highlands, but the driving was great and we didn’t feel the curves too much. Mohammed also made sure that we got to see all of the vistas on the way, giving us more than enough time to take photos in each spot. He really made the experience great, despite a bus issue that delayed us a bit on the road, completely out of his control. He has a great personality and really everything you want in a tour guide on this route, complete with history and anecdotes. I highly recommend this tour!
Wonderful experience

5.00On our holiday in Edinburgh we could not miss a trip like this, essential to fully experience the Scottish atmosphere! The experience lasts a total of 12 hours, where you can admire the wonderful landscapes of Glencoe and Glenfinnan. We had very high expectations and they were met! Our guide Mark was fantastic, he made us have fun and discover many curiosities about the history of the highlands. You have plenty of time to enjoy the various landscapes but also the opportunity to see many attractions, absolutely approved experience, mandatory if you come to these lands!
