    Lo bueno es que se ven paisajes bonitos, en especial el viaducto. Pero nos ha decepcionado mucho por lo siguiente: Para empezar en la descripción del tour pone que hay traducción digital en nuestro idioma. La traducción que era ? Descargar un archivo de pdf y salía un texto que no sabías por donde empezar. La guía encargada del tour hablaba y no ibas acorde si no sabías ni donde estabas, en resumen no te enteras de nada. Si sabes un poco de inglés, en este caso hablaba tan rápido que no captabas nada. Luego de 11 horas hemos estado 9 h por lo menos subidos al bus. 45 minutos en un bar que no entiendo aún que hacíamos ahí, cuando en el viaducto había un bar y se podía haber aprovechado allí. En el viaducto nos dejaron 45 mn también, osea surrealista que en lo más importante del tour nos dejen lo mismo que en un bar. Sinceramente si tienes la opción de ir por tu cuenta lo verás mucho más tranquilo. O sino un tour que si puedas ir enterándote de lo que ves a la vez que lo vas viendo.

    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. Just steps away, find the Glenfinnan Monument, which marks a pivotal moment in Scottish history, the 1745 Jacobite uprising.
