Good tour with an informative and entertaining guide, Vix, and great driver, Adam. We enjoyed the day. I’m giving a 3-star review solely based on the choice of lunch stop at a gift-shop-dominated cafeteria devoid of charm. The venue chosen was too far from the charming downtown of Fort William (that offered quaint restaurants) for us to eat there given the time allotted. Given that Fort William is a headline stop on the tour, we deserved better than we got. You can do better, Timberbush.

We had a fabulous day with Vix and Adam! Vix had great stories to share during the long bus ride and she really kept our group on schedule during the long trip. Adam was a skilled driver for some very twisty and tight roads/parking spots. We saw incredibly beautiful places and it felt magical. One thing that could be improved was the lunch stop in Fort William. We stopped in an area that really was not picturesque and there was not much time to walk elsewhere. All our other stops were quite charming.

Nick was a fantastic host for the tour providing many interesting historical facts and lots of laughs along the way which made for a very fun tour. Special mention for the great reverse parking skills

The one-day trip from Edinburgh to Glenfinnan, Glencoe, and the Highlands was such a great way to see a lot of Scotland all in one day. The entire journey was well thought out and ran smoothly. Even though a lot of time is spent driving, you won’t feel it — you’ll be too busy enjoying the beautiful landscapes. Our tour guide, Connor, was absolutely amazing! His storytelling about Scotland’s history and culture was fascinating, and his jokes were on point — definitely one of the highlights of the day.

Adam - funny, shared lots of advise and experiences, strict with time but fair, good and safe driver, kind to travellers Sites - not many WC's, parking areas too cramped. Places are wonderful, scenic and picturesque.

Our driver-tour guide, ADAM, was a careful driver and had tons of information about the places we were passing by, entertained us with funny jokes, and suggested activities to make our trip memorable. His Scottish music playlist during the long drive made the experience fun and enjoyable.
