Highland bustour

4.00The bus was comfortable and the tour was ok, but the temperature on the bus was a little bit cold. But the lunch stop was terrible, the food was bad and expensive and the invionment was not nice. The food was served on paper plates and fork and knives was in wood, the portions was small and tasteless.
Brilliant day seeing the Highlands

Annoyingly good tour guide.

5.00Annoyingly good tour guide - packed a book, didn’t even think of opening it. Australian Mark was nothing but amazing at our guided tour into the Scottish highlands. I refuse to believe a redheaded scottish man does not live inside of that Aussie. How does one know SO MUCH about a country he simply wasn’t born into??!! Such great stories. At first I thought Charlotte was driving the bus while Mark was reading aloud from a textbook about Scotland, but quickly learned he in fact ALSO DROVE THE BUS. A photographic memory, that must be. Anyways, thank you so very much for an amazing, useful and unforgettable trip into the old mountains. The playlist was great - just the right amount of bagpipes and flutes. Even though the weather was rainy and grey, Mark made sure to spread sunshine. Thanks again!!
A Great Highlands Experience

5.00Australian Mark was our guide and he was great. We covered a lot of territory in about 12 hours but it was worth it. He was great at immersing us in the history of what we were seeing. Telling great tales of what occurred in each of the places we visited and passed along the way. I would greatly recommend this tour and especially Mark the guide.
Amazing trip!

3.00On the way out we received interesting information about the geology and history of the Highlands. From noon it was unfortunately a coffee drive.
Had so much fun

5.00If you ever get the chance to tour with Adam—take it. What started as a simple trip turned into a genuinely memorable adventure thanks to him. He brought so much energy, insight, and care to the experience, always ready with helpful tips and thoughtful suggestions that made everything feel effortless and fun. One of those perfect, unexpected moments? When he pulled over just so we could admire the Highland cows up close—such a small gesture, but it made the day feel magical. Great guide, great vibes, and even better memories. Couldn’t have asked for more!
