    My wife and I booked this tour a couple of months ago having read the excellent reviews. We were greeted on arrival by Brian our friendly, courteous and knowledgeable driver and were most surprised that there were only four other visitors on the 12 hour journey. The scenery was spectacular and we had a good number of comfort breaks along our route. We can thoroughly recommend this tour and would like to add that Brian is a valuable credit to his Company.

  • Excellent day out and in a small group

    Excellent day trip and really good value for the money. We were out for just over 11 hours! There were only 6 of us in a very comfy and smart 16 seater coach (16 would have been the largest the group would have been). Couldn't believe how close by the beautiful countryside was just outside of Glasgow. We had every type of weather in the one day but raincoats were all that we needed because wherever we stopped, there was usually enough shelter to stay dry. Stunning scenery and so great to be able to see so much of it when we weren't driving and were owning Glasgow for a couple of days word certainly recommend this company and our excellent guide was Kieran who was very passionate about Scotland. Had a great sense of humour and was happy to answer all of our questions..... and there were lots 😁

  • A memorable trip to the highlands

    This was a last-minute day trip booking, and it turned out to be such a memorable experience. It was my second time in Scotland, but my first time seeing the Highlands, and it truly hits different. April was the perfect time to go because the mountain tops were still covered in snow, making the scenery absolutely breathtaking. Collin was very friendly and knowledgeable, and he shared so much about Scotland throughout the trip. The songs he picked matched perfectly with the views, which made the journey even more special. I really enjoyed the whole trip from start to finish. I’m so glad I decided to book this trip — it’s an experience I’ll never forget.

  • Do this tour, it’s one of the best tours we have ever done

    One of the best tours we have ever done. Scott made the day truly special and one we will never forget. He connected with all the group both as a group and individually . He is a natural tour guide and made it so much fun. I was so impressed that even with a small number for our tour, the tour went ahead. (I had a tour cancelled on me three years ago in Scotland with twelve hours notice with another tour operator ) Nothing was a bother, he stopped on the way back so more photos could be taken of Glencoe because he had to park in a different spot on the way there, threw in a few other bonuses not on the itinerary . He will do whatever he can to make each person feel they are getting the most out of the day. There was ample time at each place to get the most of the experience , most places weren’t just photo stops . Even at Glencoe on the popular road we were able to walk up a little track. At Glenfinnan there was time for us to walk along a track heading to the viaduct , as well as go into the exhibition, walk to the monument at Loch Sheil ( go up the monument if you wanted to ) go into the information centre/gift shop and have a coffee. At Glencoe visitor centre there was time to have lunch in cafe look in gift store . The itinerary was just very well balanced , at no time did we feel rushed. Scott was truly professional,made us all feel relaxed and it was obvious he enjoys his work . I can’t recommend this tour enough.

  • Well-organised Highland tour with excellent guides, scenic stops, and reliable service.

    Booked a last-minute trip to see the viaduct and the lochs, and it turned out to be such a memorable experience! This was my second time in the Highlands (last time was in December), and April hits differently,the mountains are snow-capped but not fully covered. Last time we were a group of 16, but this time it was just three of us. Honestly, I really appreciate that the tour wasn’t cancelled despite the small group. A cancelled trip can completely ruin your plans if its a shortstay. Alan and Tony (our guides), mentioned they never cancel bookings for exactly that reason which says a lot about their commitment. Both Alan and Tony were amazing,they absolutely bamboozled us with stories about Scotland! From Irn-Bru, haggis, coos, and sheep to history, wars, massacres, and folk songs, they made the journey just as enjoyable as the destinations. And yes, the “midges” song they played is still stuck in my head 😄 Our first stop was Loch Luss, such a peaceful and scenic place. Personally, I liked it even more than Loch Lomond because you can get really close to the water. Then we headed to Glencoe, where we saw the Three Sisters and had lunch at the Visitor Centre. The cafe has great food, and stunning walking trails. The drive itself to Glenfinnan was breathtaking. Sadly, the Jacobite train isn’t running right now, but the place is still absolutely worth visiting. There’s a monument you can climb for £5, but honestly, you already get a great view of both the viaduct and Loch Shiel (the “Black Lake” from Harry Potter) from the viewpoint. I’d highly recommend walking the trail under the viaduct and climbing the hill nearby, that’s where you get the best photos. Their customer service was impeccable, they were patient, informative, and genuinely cared about making the experience great. For international travellers looking for a Highland getaway, this trip is definitely worth it!

    The tour was wonderful, the tour guide was super patient despite having a few setbacks with long traffic and traffic lights not working well. The areas that I went to were splendid and it was definitely worth the money. I'd definitely go on a tour similar to this again.

    A very relaxed tour that provided plenty of photo ops and adequate rest breaks. Our guide Dave (NOT DAVID, says he!) was cheerful, very funny, and very informative. The weather turned beastly on the way home; still he maneuvered the van with skill. I might have been frightened with a lesser man in charge!
