Mr. Robert was very funny and knowledgeable guy. At first, he talked non-stop but turns out he is a very nice and kind guy. The tour was magnificent! Honestly, I didn't know much about Scotland, yet this experience was very enjoyable from start to finish.

Our tour guide Stevie was so funny and very knowledgeable about the area. We were provided with many entertaining facts about each area and were provided with plenty of bathroom and food stops. Wish we could've spent more time at each location but we could've been there forever if we did 😂. Amazing experience worth the money

Post Glencoe’s immersive history, travel towards Fort William, nestled at the foot of Britain's loftiest peak, Ben Nevis. Enjoy a well-deserved lunch break here before heading to the Glenfinnan Viaduct. Known globally as the Harry Potter Bridge, this architectural marvel is the centerpiece of many iconic movie scenes.
