My experience of our trip was good. We saw a lot of places that gave us a nice glimpse of Scotlands highlands. Maybe I would like to had more time outside the bus and enjoy more the great nature that surrounded us. Our guide Jim was great, he told us many wonderful stories and history from Scotland.

It was ok but would recommend more stops along the way to interesting places and not just trying to get to too a place without getting the feel of where we are going and what the area is about! Also thought we’d have a bit of hiking or going into attractions and not just stopping in set places to take photos! This was not the right trip for my teenage daughters for sure. too.

Esperienza bellissima! La nostra guida, James, era molto preparata ed estremamente amichevole. Ci ha accompagnato in modo eccellente nel nostro breve tour delle Highlands. Il tour era ben organizzato e abbiamo visto posti spettacolari, purtroppo abbiamo dovuto saltare una tappa (Fort William) a causa del forte traffico che ha inciso pesantemente sulla tabella di marcia. Ho apprezzato che l’eventualità di saltare la tappa sia stata discussa e concordata con tutto il gruppo.
