Review of Stewart Tours’ 12-hour Highlands trip from Edinburgh, with Glencoe, Fort William, Glenfinnan Viaduct, Pitlochry, and train views.

“We had a great trip with wonderful weather. Light snow at some points, which made for beautiful views! Keith was full of dad jokes and made the day pass quickly. If you can get a tour with him, you will have fun!! Plenty of time at the stops and with his helpful tips, very efficient stops. I’m from a region in the US and the highlands felt like being there… just like being in the Great Smoky Mountains!! I felt like I was home! Glencoe…. Just amazing!!”

“Was an excellent 3 days trip, great Scotland scenery and the best guide. Rod is an experienced driver, also on the roads and mainly through the Scotts history, great story teller! Has humor and knowledge. We enjoyed the number of objectives per day, a good balance between traveling enjoying the views, stops for a bite, a coffee or and ice-cream in picturesque towns. The overnight in Inverness was ok for enjoying the views and shops in the evening. Definitely recommend!”

“Isle of Skye is a gorgeous area .....lots of scenery (especially when it's sunny.... we were very lucky!) Our driver was very knowledgeable and friendly, despite the fact that she had only been driving this route for @ 6 months! Despite the long distance riding in a bus, I would definitely recommend this trip as a way to get out of the city and see the spectacular countryside of Scotland!”

“Our driver and guide Nick is fun, and very patient specially with the indian group who were always late and didn't care about the timing (which is very stressful), other driver would leave them but nick is kind enough to always wait for them. He goes out of his way to add stops outside of our itinerary. I highly recommend this tour for those who have limited time in scotland and would like to see outside Edinburgh.”

“Totally worth it, highly recommend! Our tour guide Paul (AKA The Kilted Biker) was wonderful. He was an incredibly knowledgeable, passionate storyteller, and made the trip highly engaging for the entire group. His timings were perfect, and he leaned into the interests of the passengers to make the most of our time together. Hearing that there were some Harry Potter fans onboard, he even rushed up the viaduct trail to get a video of our group’s train as it went by over the Glenfinnan viaduct, which was incredibly kind. We had a relatively intimate tour group of 16 and were transported on a Mercedes Sprinter mini bus. Highlights on the…”

Our guide John was a really funny guy and we enjoyed all the nice chats to him while driving in a nice coach to the Glenfinnan Viaduct with some amazing stops in between. All in all a great tour with lots of jokes and laugh. Definitely worth the money. Many thanks Constantin van de Loo, Erasmus student from Germany”
