Beautiful day with lovely sights. Expect a long ride with short stops. You cover a lot of territory. Train ride is the best part.
West highlands are beautiful.

Beautiful countryside and Jacobite train was wonderful. A long day and most time spent in vehicle. Be prepared for windy roads. Eiranne was a terrific guide. Her description of the are and stories of the past were terrific.
Awesome Tour

As they say, the game is not worth it. Understand: activity is very expensive for a very average life. The train ride is long while finally it is mostly the passage over the viaduct that is nice. And I think the audience outside is enjoying the show more. The various other stops are curiously chosen because not much interest. The icing on the cake: we do not stop in Glencoe as advertised, but in the parking lot of a shopping center of the town next door. In short: I do not advise, alas.
Amazing Journey

Great experience being on the Jacobite Steam Strain (Hogwarts Express) eventhough our journey came into a stop at Glenfinnan due to railway track defect which lasted more than an hour. It was out of the hands of Highlands Explorer Tour Company which decided that we leave the train at Glenfinnan to continue the rest of our journey from there. Liz (our tour guide) was amazing, friendy and very informative which made our journey beautiful and so exciting so thank you so much.
