    Tour was nice, guide was excellent. Only issue: we did not get steam train but a normal one - not the fault of the tour company of course.

    I absolutely loved our little day excursion. Regarding Heather and Haggis Adventures I have no complaints whatsoever. She guided us through the most beautiful scottish scenery and shared her knowledge of scottish history with us. She made sure to keep the history lesson entertaining and didn’t bore us at all. The bus was very comfortable and has fully functional charging ports, and whenever the temperature was not to our liking she made sure to change it to our comfort. If I could only criticise one thing, I would maybe suggest to have a few more stops or a few longer stops. Aside from our amazing time with our guide I have to admit that we were deeply disappointed that we were not offered the steam train experience that we were hoping and paid for. I completely understand that this issue was out of the hands of the haggis adventures organization. Only when we arrived at the train station in Fort Williams. was when we noticed that it was not the train that we had hoped to board. Being a huge harry potter fan this was a huge disappointment. They could have at least sent out an email letting their paying customers know that the tour that they paid for and had been hoping for, had been changed.
