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!

Beautiful scenery, tour too far and long from Edinburgh

3.00Too long, too many short stops, and too far. Of particular note is Glencoe and lis Kellpies. I wouldn't repeat Glennfinnan, it's not worth it, in my opinion. Otherwise, the company and guides her very well.
