The Highlands Day tour was the best way to get a taste of the wonderful Scottish landscape and its history (and Whisky of course!). Duncan our guide and driver was fantastically knowledgeable and a lot of fun. He had great anecdotes and stories about all the landmarks we stopped at or passed by. His enthusiasm and humor made the trip really enjoyable. We covered a lot of great sites. I definitely recommend it if you don't have a car or much time to explore around Edinburgh.

We went for the highlands tour and boat ride. The scenery was amazing and Caitlyn was very energetic and no boring moments inside the bus, she was able to explained the scenery very well and addedd multiple stories to it. We had a fun time.

We booked the tour just for the Jacobite train because of Harry Potter, but ended up becoming fascinated with Scotland’s history thanks to Caitlin’s very informative and entertaining tour guide. She is such a lovely person; very cheerful and bright, which made the trip so exciting. As she drove us through the highlands, she introduced songs with their backstories, matching it with the scenery, which made the trip even more special and meaningful. We especially love how she surprised us with the view of the viaduct and a visit to the highland cows, Hamish and Honey, which wasn’t in the itinerary. We can definitely feel her passion and love from her work. So much so that she can proudly call the highlands her office.

Had a smashing time with tour guide Rich taking our wee group around the Highlands for a 5 day tour! Lots of stories told on the bus, and good tips on where to take photos! Social distancing was followed with reduced numbers on the tour, daily temp checks and frequent hand sanitization required. B&B accommodation was amazing, especially the the nights in Oban and Portree. Loved the food recommendations, and one of the highlights was definitely Culloden Battlefield, very informative exhibition. Would highly recommend booking a tour with these guys!

I was on the Highlands and Loch Ness tour with Rich as our guide. We had sun, snow and everything in between and a great day exploring some amazing places. Rich was a wonderful knowledgeable guide and I learnt so much history and facts I never knew before. Goodluck guys in the days and weeks ahead. Highly recommended
