Customer Reviews
We had fun and, after getting used to our local guide's (Craig in a kilt) very Scottish accent, a very informative time with a splash of dry humor. The small group felt intimate and comfortable. Lucky that we mostly had the same wants specially with the activities like walking to the different locations like the Faery pools (quite a workout!) and riding the Jacobite Steam Train. Craig tried his best to accommodate us so we appreciate him all the more.
Our guide, Rob was wonderful, very accommodating and helpful, he also made the driving portion enjoyable and entertaining with his stories and humor! Highly recommended
We had the absolute best time with Highland Experience Tours. Having never been on a group tour we weren’t sure what to expect, but it exceeded our expectations! It was extremely well organised, covered incredible locations and took the stress of planning it ourselves out of the picture! It can be hard to find the right accommodation and think of how to drive around yourself I can imagine. What we got on this tour was a fantastic guide Brodie who made the experience what it was - awesome!! Brodie had excellent knowledge and explained the history of all locations visited and added lots of humour. It was great having a smaller group to connect with. The B&B’s we were put into were also amazing. We loved how our guide took us to the best spots that we wouldn’t have thought about. I recommend this trip highly, it was money well spent and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience!
