Above and beyond! - Although the steam train was canceled, our driver Harrison did an amazing job making the full day experience very memorable! My boyfriend and I were very disappointed about the cancelation. This was supposed to be his 50th birthday present….. Harrison had snuck on candles, and tea cakes for Tim and the whole bus sang happy birthday! A beautiful day and Harrison went above and beyond! Thank you again! I highly recommend this team for creating a great experience.

5/5 - Highly Recommended - Karen, our tour guide, was phenomenal! The tour takes you along breathtaking scenery - along castles and lochs and everything in between. Karen did an excellent job of pointing out the scenery while also driving expertly, so that we didn’t have to worry about it. Bring a camera! There is so much to take in

Highland Day Tour/ Hogwarts Express - Emily was amazing she’s cheery warm and engaging. Extremely knowledgeable. We had a wonderful day full of experiences. Considering the train ride was cancelled and we were totally disappointed; the bus tour was better than expected.

Emily saved the day - The trip started with a huge disappointment learning the Jacobite Steam Train was not running. However , Emily turned it around beautifully. She is pleasant, funny, knowledgeable and an absolute delight. She gets the 5 star rating. Considering we signed up for the train, it is remarkable we are still willing to give it 5 stars. It is all down to her.
