Fiona was a wonderful tour guide. She gave great local information and played nice music in between. She did a great job timing our travels so we could see extra sights like the sweet hairy coos and extra train sightings. Loved the museum at the viiaduct and Mallaig was a nice lunch stop. We left the tour at Mallaig to take the train to Fort Williams for the next part of our trip. Fiona made that transition seemless.

We had EN super experience where we got to see a lot of the beautiful Scottish landscape, with many nice stops along the way. EN real highlight was seeing the iconic train – something we were really looking forward to. Our guide, Owen, was incredibly good! His joy of storytelling and empathy made the trip even more memorable. He shared many interesting stories that deepened our understanding of the places we visited and the culture we got to know. Highly recommended.

A long day, but worth the time! Our driver and guide, Alex, was friendly and very informative about the places we visited and passed by. Chasing the steam train after the viaduct was fun, got lots of great photos! Loved going down the smaller roads, which led to beautiful views to enjoy. Alex gave us plenty of opportunities for bathroom breaks and refreshment, it was a very nice experience.
