The tour bus driver Callum was amazing! He knew so much about Scotland's history and folklore. We had so many interesting stops-hidden gems. A small group was great as we got to know a little about our fellow travelers. Undoubtedly the best tour we've been on.

James has been an incredibile guide for 4 beautiful days. Really enthusiastic and passionate about showing us everything. He showed us incredible landscapes that really left us breathless. James was a real Scottish man, with so much good humour and full of stories to tell along the way. Also very professional. Definitely I would do it again!

I loved the places we visited but it was a bit different than what I imagined. First the itinerary was different from what is in this website, and it caused that we spent time in things not interesting and skipping some in the itinerary, for example, I was eager to see the castles and the highland distillery but it was skipped. Another point is in glenfinnan viaduct was amazing because we went there in the exactly time the train passed, that was awesome, however after that we needed to pass through a very difficult way to arrive in the place where the bus was. We spent a lot of time on this hiking and it was dangerous and tiring. I was expecting to see beautiful places, not long hiking. Another thing was that we spent so long in a place just to take a fare boat in one side of the lock to another which I don't think it wasn't necessary. It would be much better spend this time in the castles that were in the itinerary that were skipped.

We rented a car and although we were initially worried about having to drive on the wrong side; one gets used to it quickly. I recommend it because we stopped where we wanted and visited the sites at our own pace.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS TOUR!! Angela was the best tour guide we’ve ever had - she is what made this tour so great! She made sure everyone saw what they wanted to see, had an endless amount of knowledge to share and was always quick with the jokes! If I could give Angela more than 5 stars, I would. She made my dreams of seeing Highland Coos possible without messing up the itinerary. The highlands were absolutely beautiful and I will 100% take this tour again when I come back! We were able to see all the highlights, including many picture stops so we could experience all the highlands had to offer! Music was played throughout the tour to highlight certain aspects of history which was a great bonus and great way to immerse yourself in the tour. I hope everyone gets the pleasure of having an amazing tour with Angela like we did. Also if you get the chance to sit up in the front of the bus, do so :) This tour was the best experience we had of Scotland!

Hearts of Scotland has our hearts!

Angela was a great tour guide with extensive knowledge of Scottish history. The pace of the tour was great with enough time at each stop to enjoy each attraction with lots of history between destination. She also arranged for a great distillery tour at Dalwhinnie on our way back into Edinburgh.

Restaurants in Inverness city center were very busy, and by the time we arrived for dinner, we spent a bit of time looking for a restaurant that wasn't fully booked. We would recommend pre-booking a spot for dinner if possible.

Angela was always prioritizing our safety and comfort during the whole tour, and I would highly recommend doing the Highlands tour with her.
