Great day into the Scottish highlands with Louise as our guide. She is as excited to be on the tour as her passengers. She made a long day of driving fun, humorous, and informative. Book early and enjoy the scenery and hogwarts magic

Dusty was an excellent tour guide which made this trip outstanding! He had a wealth of information and stories which made this long day fun and very enjoyable. Highly recommend him! The tour stops were fun and allowed for potty breaks, snacks, and lunch. Snacks are also available on the train. Our train car host, Dave, made sure we saw all the sights and photo opportunities. Great experience! The van was clean and had good AC on this hot day in Scotland. It’s a long day but loads of fun.

Dusty was a fabulous guide full of amazing facts, stories, and historical information along with a fun sense of humor which made this trip super enjoyable even though it is a long day. Definitely do this tour and ask for him. Dave on the train was also helpful and pointed out key things to see and places for photos. There are snacks available on the train. Luckily our train car had an open window on top on this lovely warm day. Great time with our guide Dusty; one of the best we’ve experienced!

Such a fun tour! Our tour guide Paul was amazing! So informative and kept things fun! The tour is quite long, but definitely worth it. During the stretches of long driving, the views were stunning and Paul kept us entertained! He pointed out numerous filming locations throughout the tour. Would definitely recommend!

Dusty is great! He is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. I loved learning about some of this history while en route. The stops were timed well. There was lots of opportunities for Harry Potter fans to get some good pictures.

Dusty was a great asset for the company with all the history and knowledge of the tour. Ride was comfortable with a very relaxed ride. Plenty of stops along the way. Not pressured at the stops. Had time to take photos at all the stops. Would recommend this tour to anyone.

We got to visit several interesting places and had a great guide in Lorie. The tour was long and therefore tiering, but since we had no more time and will likely never get to go there again because of our age, we were gald to see so many things in one day. Unfortunately we don't know what company Lorie worked for because there where so many different things written on the yellow bus we rode in.

Laurie was an absolute treat to have as a tour guide! Very well knowledgeable and kept us right on schedule! Even gave us an extra stop to see some highland cows!! 100000/10 recommend this tour! It’s a great way to get out to see the highlands and learn about the lands, culture, and highland clans of the past!
Only thing to note: the steam train is a bit hot in the summer months. Even for a mild day in May it was still a bit hot. So if you wear layers, make sure you peel off one or two before riding.
