5.00We went in April 2026, it was an extremely scenic view. Our guide tour, Phil, was super friendly and gave us the very interesting history of Scotland. It was not too crowded which was perfect. Although it was quite sunny and personally didn’t really like the heat. Make sure you check the Jacobite steam train timings if you’re a Harry Potter fan as I didn’t get the chance to see it which I was quite disappointed about! Although I did wish we were able to stay quite longer in Glenfinnan. Overall, I had a fun experience.

5.00Great day out! Phil was super informative about the history surrounding Glencoe, the Glenfinnan Viaduct and the Scottish Highlands. He even squeezed in some extra stops, getting to see nice views of Ben Nevis. We got the best weather and a lovely, kind and patient guide, with some bad sheep & cow jokes thrown in there as well.
Best trip in Scotland

5.00Phil was FANTASTIC! This is the only review I’ve left all trip. I normally won’t leave reviews but this was such a good tour I couldn’t go home without sharing. We had great weather all day and Phil did such a good job of sharing history, stories, and some comedic bits as well. All of our stops were so worth it. I absolutely would recommend. As a solo traveler I absolutely loved it. Highlight of my entire trip!
