Customer Reviews
It was amazing! Loved the entire trip including the B&B, train ride, and all of the stops!
Overall we had a great time! Our tour guide was possibly the best part of our tour, his name is Iain, it all started with finding out that the Loch Ness Cruise had been cancelled that day which meant no cruise and no castle. This was not good news BUT Iain had so much knowledge on the area that he took us to some beautiful waterfalls at The Hermitage as well as feeding some Hairy Coo’s! We then carried on the tour as planned until we got to our BnB which was lovely! The train was amazing and of course a highlight but on the way back to Edinburgh it all took a turn for the worst. Whilst passing through the Glen Coe we noticed a juddering in the bus. Iain managed amazingly to get us to a lay-by were we then sat from 5,30 -8.30 in the dark and cold, as we found out the wheel had fallen off the coach. This could have been a very serious accident, but we got lucky thanks to Iain. He even went above and beyond to get us 15 pizza delivered to the middle of Glen Coe Thank you Iain
We had the absolute best time! The five-star reviews truly speak to the experience. Our tour guide, Ben, was amazing! He’s knowledgeable, friendly, and so considerate throughout the trip. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, from the route to the incredible bed-and-breakfast stays. This was hands down the best way to see so much of Scotland in just three days. We’re already looking forward to coming back and booking a longer tour next time!
