Great Way to Research and Book a Tour - We used Viator to book several tours on our first trip to Scotland and London. The Viator website made it easy to compare and research what was in included in the tour packages. It was very useful to have everything laid out in front of you. I would recommend them to others and using them again in the future.

Fantastic - The trip was amazing even then we booked the wrong trip (wanted it with Loch Ness). Robert was a fantastic guide and gave important information. Jimmy was a great driver. Thanks a lot we will join a next trip

Wonderful trip! - Robert was an amazing tour guide who did a wonderful job with a very low-energy tour group! (I think everyone on the bus was sleeping at some point). If you're looking for a fun, beautiful tour of the highlands, and a great tour guide to boot, this highland tour with Robert was a great way to go!

Great trip! - We had a wonderful time exploring the Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glencoe, Fort William and so much more. Oue guide was Lorna and she was phenomenal. We did so many extra things not mentioned in the description and they were all wonderful. The tour was timely, thorough, and contained very interesting information. I would recommend this trip to anyone. Definitely a highlight of my trip to Scotland.

Good tour - It was pretty good, the driver/guide was very good. But too bad Natalie has to perform 2 roles by herself. It would be much better if there were a driver and a guide, then we can ask questions about the area.

Interesting trip - An expensive taxi trip (GBP107) from Fort William on a busless Sunday. The viaduct is far from impressive. But overall an attractive site with a crystal clear stream running through it. The Bonnie Prince Charles memorial is well maintained -'though the guy himself seems hardly to have been a hero of Scottish independence - his armed revolt aimed rather at becoming King of the future United Kingdom. After his brutal defeat at Culloden he simply wandered off back to France and Italy, dying there at the age of 67. From the road there are good views of Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis (1,345 metres) - not impressive and looking more like a potato than a mountain!

Disappointing - The Train ride over viaducts is closed from January 2024. We were given impression that the the tour is going to operate as per given description. A day prior to this tour we received email from Viator stating the train ride is not going to happen due to Train company issued with Government. Had we known during booking that the train ride was not going to happen, we would have chosen some other tour option. This is a hoax from tour companies not informing the train situation in advance, and misguiding the tourists. The train is going to be closed for at least 4 more months...as informed by our guide.
