    We had Fisher as our guide and boy did we hit jackpot! Everything he said was so interesting and he’s hilarious! Our bus did not laugh as much as they needed too haha Knowing everything I knew, I would definitely book again! I also loved how quickly they communicated with me about whether we would see the Jacobite steam train and they shared how they do try to time it so we can see it. I loved that because another tour bus emailed saying they would go to the location but not see it. I ate up every recommendation he gave and tried to pick up on his Scottish ways so I could learn from him. Thank you Fisher! Stewart Tours, you hired a good one!

    I greatly recommend this trip to the Glenfinnan Viaduct and Scottish Highlands. We had a lovely time thanks to our driver guide Leon, who tried his best to make us enjoy all the experiences. This is a day trip not to be missed by any Harry Potter fan or enthusiastic of nature.

  • Nice day tour from Edinburgh

    Leon was a terrific driver and guide on this full day tour around the highlands. The timing at every stop was just right, and we even got to see the train pass by the viaduct. Overall a great day was had.

    This is a great way to see the main sights of the highlands. Our tour guide, Anthony, was wonderful. Our bus had an unforeseen maintenance problem, which delayed us by several hours, but Anthony kept spirits high despite the difficulties. Even though my trip went awry, I would still highly recommend
