5.00It's my second time I have taken this tour . I will say it's a must do tour if you are in Edinburgh. Beautiful scenic stops in between , all destinations covered as mentioned in tour description. The tour guide was excellent, she never left us bored during the whole journey. Kept stopping at stops for restrooms, clicking pictures at scenic stops . The driver kept the bus temperature warm enough to make everyone comfortable even when outside temp was -3 deg celsius. A big thanks for it.
Amazing trip!

A great tour with a terrible lunch stop

3.00The experience is great, amazing views, and delivers what’s promised. But the lunch stop for the 7:00 tour is awful. Everything is closed except for the worst spot in town, that is still only serving breakfast at 11:30am and is your only meal between then and dinner. And the restaurant seems to have no warning we are coming so everyone gets their food with about 5 minutes to leave for the bus. Really kinda affects the whole day. Literally arriving in the town 30 minutes later would open the entire towns lunch options. Didn’t love that experience, left us hungry and cranky for a good chunk of the rest of the day
Everything was great...

3.00Everything was great until the return trip. We stuck in the snow in a parking lot which was next to a dam. The driver tried several times to move the bus and the bus was sliding because of the ice. Each time closer to the cliff. All passengers were scared and wanted to exit bus but he had doors closed and he didn't let us. The bus almost touched the fence, so close to the cliff and it was very dangerous. Afterwards they used shovels and we got unstuck. In my opinion he should have let us down to move the bus so we were 100% safe. As for the guide, he was excellent.

5.00I joined the Glencoe, Fort Williams and Glenfinnan day tour on December 21st. The driver/guide was a very chill, friendly and knowledgeable guy (sadly I can’t remember his name). He drove us in different locations, even making extra stops in places not included in the initial itinerary, which was great, and also gave the right amount of bathroom breaks. The bus was very comfortable and warm. Also, great choice of traditional Scottish music. Will definitely hop in again in the future for one of their other tours.
Excellent tour with a...
