5.00It’s a long day but well worth it! Karen was our guide and she was excellent giving us a lot of historical details and pointing things out on the driving portions and including a few bonus stops. We didn’t feel rushed and there were music breaks from the historical Info so soak in the scenery and relax a bit. I don’t like to hire a car when traveling and this tour made it possible to see a lot
Excellent day tour

4.00Great day with Karen! The coo’s visit was an exciting moment & the “Hogwarts” train adventure great too! Rainy afternoon limited a few opportunities but we pushed through. Karen shared great info with us along the way.
Memorable day, great for Harry Potter fans

4.00Karen was a wonderful tour guide, informative and funny. She told us lots of anecdotes and history about the areas we were driving through. We made a bonus stop near a bridge, between the Glenfinnan Viaduct and Mallaig, so we could catch the train passing again. We were able to get pictures of that and of the sandy beach on the other side of the bridge. Seeing the steam train on the viaduct was a highlight, as a Harry Potter fan. I loved the stop at Falls of Foyers (note: lots of steps and forest walk to get down to the waterfall), and a quick stop at Dores Beach as the sun was starting to go down. I recommend the Garden Tea Cafe in Mallaig for lunch. The only negative thing, for me, is that we could have used more time at Glenfinnan. I walked pretty briskly and still didn't have any time to spare getting back to the bus after the train passed. Thank you Karen for a memorable day!
