Thanks so much for taking the time to review us here at Highland Explorer Tours and i'm really glad to hear you enjoyed the tour along with the guide's tales of Scotland's history. The Glenfinnan Viaduct is quite exceptional; we hope you managed to snap a picture! I'm sorry if you felt your time at Loch Ness was too short however we hope you got a good lunch at Fort Augustus! Since the first night is spent up on the Isle of Skye we need to have time-allowances to get there at a reasonable hour. Best regards, Tom

A good way to see Scotland. Very amazing and educative tour with lots of folktales. The tour guide Ian was very knowledgeable and pointed out where some amazing scenes from some movies and TV shows were shot. You may need to brace up for the cold and sometimes wet weather.
