The trip was wonderful, we had so much fun on the bus, Duffy, Amber and Sonia were very accommodating, and friendly. Nice chats with them. Duffy was very informative and gave us some fun facts along the trip. Not to forget, the playlist on the bus fits the journey very well! Overall we're super satisfied. Recommended for first timer.

We can’t say enough good about Duffy, Amber and Sonia! What an amazing day! Every detail was thought out, from the music in the bus to the stops for photos and answering all of our questions! The ENTIRE time from pick up to drop off they were attentive and genuinely interested in how our day was going.

The tour was so fun! We got to ride the train to Mallaig and then watch the train on the bridge as well as we returned to Inverness in the bus (see so well thought out!) And we stopped plenty of times to get photos snacks and potty breaks. Their knowledge of the area was so incredibly helpful and enjoyable.

Remember to dress and prepare for any weather and arrive a bit early. The train station has a great coffee treat shop for breakfast if you do the early tour and don’t have a breakfast with your stay. The food snd shopping suggestions were spot on and they even gave us tips for dinner locations after the day! Best day on vacation!

The tour is a good balance between short stops and the train ride. Ending up on the ocean in Maillag for lunch is especially fun. But, the part that ties it all together is the tour guide and driver. Our guide was Emma and she was exceptional in all aspects of the tour, from her knowledge to her ability to patiently handle a wide variety of clients with different needs. We highly recommend this trip.

Great tour, did and saw exactly what I wanted to (ie ride the train and watch it cross the viaduct). Willie was a great guide.

If you want to avoid the busy life in city and wants a breather, this tour is a good escape :) the best way to explore Scotland highlands. Make sure to take a seat near the window on your left in the bus & wear nice comfy shoes. Also, shoutout to our tour guide Harisson, you will not get bored the entire tour 👍🏻

This trip was fantastic! Our tour guide was lead by Emma, who with a knack for storytelling, educated us about Scottish history and our surroundings while giving several recommendations for food and activity in and around town. The tour itself was well timed, giving one the opportunity to explore Scotland in a unique light. In particular, as an avid Harry Potter fan, travelling in the Jacobite train (and later watching it go over the viaduct) was a highlight among several other Harry Potter themed aspects. I would 100% recommend this tour!

Wizards, Jacobites, commandos, and trains, oh my. Seriously, a wonderful day with breathtaking scenery, bits of sun, and just- enough time at each stop. Our driver, Willie, did a masterful job of keeping us on schedule and pointing out the “don’t miss” sights. The bus was comfortable and clean.
