5.00Caitlyn was the absolute best guide! She is equal parts brilliant and funny! She also had the best recommendations for things to do during the rest of our trip to Glasgow. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking to explore the Scottish highlands!
Great day trip

5.00Me and my partner booked for the from Glasgow: Glenfinnan Viaduct & The Highlands Day Trip on 5th January 2025 with Stuart. The trip was great, Stuart was friendly, informative and always up for a good chat stopping at all the picturesque places! Seeing Loch Lomond Glencoe, three Sisters Glenfinnan Viaduct and through Fort William in snow was just amazing! While also stopping at Fort William for lunch too! The day started at 7:15am from Glasglow and we arrived back 6pm. An amazing day trip and fab tour guide. We throughly enjoyed our time and would recommend anyone this trip! From your friends from Wales. Thank you Stuart :)
Highly suggest this tour.

5.00We did the Loch Ness and the highlands day trip tour with Stewart Sawers today and had an incredible time. It actually seemed surreal how picturesque it was at some points. I would 1000% reccomend this trip to anyone wanting to check out the highlands, also to request Stewart Sawers as your guide. The real bonus was we were the only ones that booked this tour today and that made us able to stop at extra stops along the route - as we were 2 people not 16 getting off the bus. BONUS! Stewart is extremely knowledgeable on not only the landmarks but the history to go along with them (+more) as he has been doing tours in this area for quite some time. We were able to get off the bus and do the boat tour of Loch Ness which I also suggest to partake in, if you decide not too Fort Augustus is a nice quaint town to check out. One thing I was worried about before the journey was bathroom stops but they were ample and conveniently located. Finished off our tour with seeing some highland cows up close and personal. Would not change this last minute trip decision for the world I’ll never forget it. Thanks so much Stewart !! You’re one of a kind. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
We enjoyed allot.Hope we could again have the other journey with you again.

5.00Our guide Stewart Sawers was quite informative and friendly. He allowed for plenty of photo ops and gave us plenty of time at each location. The only thing to note is that the van seats are quite narrow, so not the most comfortable for a cross-country trip, but they weren't unbearable. 100% will use this company again
Would go again

5.00Stewurt was our guide and he was amazing. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable on all the sites. The views were amazing. We were able to go on a sunny day with lots of snow which made the experience more amazing. The van was clean and comfortable. Charging ports available which is nice considering it’s a long day. Would recommend to anyone who wants to explore a portion of the highlands for just a quick day.

5.00Beautiful tour! Glencoe is a definite highlight and Stewart was a fantastic guide. He took us to all the best photo spots and went above and beyond to make sure we get the most out of the day.

5.00We had a really good time up in the Highlands with Stuart! He told as a lot about the scenery we were passing by and even played some scottish music. As we arrived at Fort Augustus, Loch Ness, it was very foggy. Therefore we didn‘t go on a boat cruise. Instead we left earlier and got to feed a pair of very cute Highland cows! It was a wonderful day with a stunning landscape! Thanks a lot!
