Customer Reviews
David was a great tour guide, both funny and informative. He told us lots of history and stories about the areas we drove through. The Fairy Pools are absolutely gorgeous, even in the rain. Please note it's a strenuous hike. Wear appropriate shoes and dress for the weather. I do think that we could have used more time almost everywhere. At the Fairy Pools, I walked briskly and still didn't get as far down the hiking path was was possible, and I got back to the van right at the time we were supposed to leave. We also could have used more time for lunch, to see Portree and check out the shops. And at Eilean Donan Castle, again, there wasn't time to get a snack or peruse the shop. We had to leave the castle quickly and cut out some of the rooms because we realized the bus would be leaving in five minutes. My only other negative is that we really needed a "comfort stop" added at the end of the day. Two and a half hours is a long stretch to go without a bathroom break. Thank you, David, for a great day!
This was such an incredible tour. Steven from Inverness was our guide and he was the absolute best! ❤️ He was funny, very knowledgeable and very kind. I loved seeing the cute coos, feeding the birds as my “Disney princess” moment, and sticking my face in the river at the old Sligachan bridge. The view at the fairy pools was so lovely. It really was the most amazing day!! :)
Our tour with Natalie, From Inverness: Glenfinnan Viaduct, Loch Ness & The Great Glen, was full of historical facts, stories and legends. If you’re trying to have fun while learning from Scotland and adding a little Harry Potter touch to your experience, this is the tour for you! This is because you visit places where the movie was filmed. And, if you get Natalie as your tour guide, you’ll also get to see some Scotland hidden treasures. Hope you get to enjoy this scenic and informative adventure.
