5.00Absolutely amazing tour. Our guide Ross was a delight. Very experienced historian, kept us entertained with incredible stories from Scotland’s past and present. We were also lucky to have a sunny day in the highlands and made an extra and unplanned stop to see some highland coos. Fantastic day!

4.00Huge, roomy bus. Comfortable temp. No toilet but plenty of wee stops. The drive thru the small towns and highlands was gorgeous. Driver was very nice but not talkative at all. Normally drivers give lots of anecdotes and history lessons but he didn't. So, that was disappointing but it was also my first tour with Stewart, so maybe that's what they do.

5.00What a fantastic day! The driver, Scott, was wonderful. He was extremely knowledgeable about Scottish history and gave us great information and insights into the places we visited. We went to Glencoe, Fort William and the Glenfinnan Viaduct and he stopped at other places along the way for photo opportunities. He played all sorts of music 🎶 that was associated with Scotland 🏴 in one way or another. On the way home he even stopped so that we could see some highland cattle. Hairy Coos he called them. I don’t think anyone should go to Scotland 🏴 without seeing the highlands. It was truly amazing. If you decide to go make sure you go with STEWART TOURS and I hope you get Scott as your driver!

5.00I was very satisfied with the one-day trip. The tour guide explained a lot of history, and the price was reasonable. There were only two places in the title, but we actually went to many scenic spots. I highly recommend it. Thank you veggie and stuart！
