Mark was an amazing guide. He was genuinely funny, which made the whole tour feel relaxed and engaging, and his knowledge really stood out. We especially loved how he tied in Harry Potter references, other films and personal stories. It added an extra layer of fun without taking away from the history. You could tell he enjoys what he does, and that energy carried through the entire tour. Highly recommend if you want something informative but also entertaining.

Efficient and well-planned, this trip took us to see the sights of the Scottish Highlands. Our driver and guide Adam did a fantastic job of providing interesting and humorous backstory to the sights we saw all while keeping us on track and squeezing in extra photo ops. There was a lot of time in the bus but this was all worth it once we reached Glencoe and Glenfinnen.
A great experience
