5.00We had a great time on our bus tour! Our guide Stevie was very funny and he kept the entire 12 hour day entertaining. The views were unmatched and the amount of breaks during the whole day was perfect for people to be able to enjoy everything Scotland has to offer.

5.00Had a great time with Holly, our guide. She told stories, lore, and had bus karaoke during the long part of the ride. She pointed out all kinds of things along the ride that were not included in the tour.

5.00With it being first thing the morning Clare (host) was a little too loud for my ears. Apart from that what an excellent experience! We weren't bored at all during the time on the coach and got enough time to stretch our legs too, with all of the stop offs and taking the beautiful views in. I would recommend to everyone!
AMAZIIIIING

5.00Such a fantastic day trip! We got to see the highlands and its beautiful landscape. It is truly breathtaking! The trip was long, approx. 12 hours but had multiple stops so you got to explore a lot! Our guide Holly was great! Such a bubbly person and a fantastic storyteller! We didn’t know much about Scottish history before this trip but learned a lot from Holly! It was also a very nice trip back where we enjoyed some bus karaoke 😍 We even had luck to the see the Hogwarts express on the Glenfinnan Viaduct! Would highly recommend!
History, humour and great music!
