Highland Experience Tours Avaliações 140

The guide was fantastic but unfortunately, because of the long distance between each stop, we have spent a lot of time on the Van.
The accomodations in Inverness are not so good... We found the room quite dirty.
Apart from that everything was Ok.

We did this tour and had an excellent experience — highly recommended.

Our guide, Alan, was tireless throughout the entire journey. He showed great knowledge and experience, sharing information clearly and always at the right moment, aligned with the places we were visiting. The balance between historical facts and local legends made the experience even more engaging and enjoyable.

The tour started on time and was very well organized. The group also respected the schedule, which helped everything run smoothly.

The bus was comfortable and, although it didn’t have a bathroom, this was not an issue as there were enough stops along the way.

Just a small note: due to the duration, it may not be the best option for young children.

For anyone interested in history and exploring rural areas, this is definitely a worthwhile experience. The price is fair for the quality and itinerary offered.

The tour was well organized. Craig is an expert guide and showed us some fantastic scenery.

Une belle aventure rendue possible avec Steven B ( the beast or the best), anecdotes, cours d'histoire, musiques traditionnelles ont agrémenté cette journée. Pris en compte du confort des voyageurs par différents arrêts. Un grand merci au guide.

We enjoyed every moment of our 3-day Sky& Inverness tour with Hugh, the Piping Tour Guide. An end-of-March weather with sunshine, wind, rain and snow, together with Hugh's stories and piping (!), added even more drama to the already magnificent Highlands. The trip was well organized. Timing for stops and lunches was perfect - it seemed that even rain was managed! The accommodations in Inverness, Moyness House - great experience as well.

This was my second tour with this company ( I had already toured with them last August).
It absolutely met my expectations. Punctuality when departing, and just 10 minutes of delay when arriving (traffic issues). The guide, Aiden, made the experience the most enjoyable, knowing how to balance music, silence and narration, with a slight touch of humour from time to time. He even "presented" us with a couple of extra stops.
Enough time to enjoy each and every stop, without being constantly in a hurry.
I definitely recommend it.

3 day highlands and Skye tour
The experience matched the tour itinerary and we had ample opportunity and time to explore all the sites visited. The tour guide Jamie was knowledgeable and had lots of historic information and stories to bring the sites visited to life. The coach was clean and comfortable and the overnight accommodation was amazing. I stayed in a B&B which I recommend as you get a personalised experience rather than staying in a hotel. If you want to see all the main sites and get a true feel for the highlands and Skye then this is a must do trip.

Yesterday we went on a tour from Edinburgh: Glenfinnan Viaduct, Hairy Coos & The Highlands. We had Moray as our tourguide! He was really lovely and funny! As well as his great outfit, he knew loads of facts, had brilliant taste in music and had us laughing a lot. The tour itself was also great! Especially the Glenfinnan Viaduct & the scenery at Glen Coe was a-ma-zing. The stop at the Hairy Coo’s was a little bit disappointing, as there were 3 hairy coos behind a fence with a LOT of tourist around them :(. But, all in all it was a great day, we would recommend it!

Super tolle Tour. Steven B , unser Guide, war sehr nett und lustig. Er hat viel über das Land, die Leute und vor allen Dingen über die Geschichte Schottlands erzählt. Auch zu den einzelnen Stopps und für unsere Planung hat er gesorgt. Immer wieder gern.

The Highlands are always a magical place, to me it means home and I was amazed by everything we saw. Glencoe is the place of a terrible massacre, consumed in a place so mesmerising that it's easy to lose yourself. I loved seeing the statue dedicated to Bonnie Prince Charlie, and getting on top of the small tower was incredibly fun. As a student and lover of history I enjoyed it greatly. Scotland is my second home, and it was great to be back.
What I didn't enjoy much was how little time we had to roam around, especially at Fort William, where we didn't have time for lunch and many people chose a McDonald's over the many local pubs. I already knew the pub and decided to have a quick lunch there, the meeting was at 13:25, I arrived at 13:28 and the people on the bus even clapped sarcastically over 2 minutes. The driver was very knowledgeable, but not very friendly.

That was a wonderful trip with Terri and Ben. For the first time I listened to the guides :) - they were funny and helpful. I recommend the company.

It was fab. Chris (our guide) was knowledgeable throughout. I wanted to go to McQueen's grave site in Skye. It wasn't on the plan, but chris made it happen!. Weather was 👌, I'd highly recommend this tour and company!. I forgot to mention the B & B.....it was lovely, the room was so clean and the breakfast was 👌

Our 3 days and 2 nights trip with Highland Experience was an excellent way to explore Scotland, especially the beautiful Highlands. The tour was well-organized, comfortable, and thoughtfully planned, allowing us to enjoy the scenery, culture, and history without any stress.

Our tour leader and driver, Graham, added great value to the experience by sharing stories and historical background along the way. Even though his Scottish accent was sometimes challenging to understand, we really enjoyed it—it felt authentic and made the journey more memorable. He was also very caring and attentive, always making sure we were safely picked up and dropped off at our accommodation.

We highly recommend Highland Experience to anyone who wants to truly explore Scotland in a convenient, informative, and enjoyable way.

All of it wqs just perfecto.Worth every penny!

The bus driver, host and tour guide, Kenny. He gave new meaning to the words, friendly and courteously. He also seemed very knowledgeable about the many tidbits of info he shared about Edinburgh, the history of Scotland and Scots in general and especially the epic movie starring Mel Gibson, Brave Heart (a fine movie for Hollywood). I enjoyed just about everything on the tour except maybe the lunch at the Oak Tree Inn, where I literally froze my assistance off, for a little while anyway. Then I finally began thinking for myself and asked why can't I just go inside where it's nice and warm and enjoy a nice lunch without shivering. I just should have informed our tour guide before going inside, which I never would have done if not for the instance of my companion, Ginger. The lunch turned out to be quite lovely and warm for that matter. Thank you Kaptain Kirk for your understanding and for being a wonderful tour guide and bus driver. And thank you especially for not leaving me behind at any of our stops. Best of luck with your upcoming marriage to Lindsey. All the best. Regards, David

Great guide, very knowledgeable, helpful and cheerful. Great scenery. Cute cows, too. The day was too short for all the things we did.

I had an amazing tour with Highland Experience Tours! The booking process was smooth and my trip was true to the description with plenty of time to explore each stop. Jamie was my guide and he went above and beyond! He was professional, but also warm and friendly. I felt like I was with a friend instead of a stranger. He has a gift for storytelling and I could listen to his voice for the rest of my life and never get bored. He provided the perfect combination of history, perfectly timed music, and jokes. This was my first tour, and I can’t imagine I’ll ever get a better tour guide than Jamie. I’ll rebook with Highland Experience when I come back to Scotland!

A big thankyou to the driver Steve B, funny and informative safe driver. Scenery beautiful especially the Urquhart castle on loch ness

The experience overall was great and fun-filled. The driver was super energetic and explained all the details during his live commentary in a fun manner which was easy to digest. It was an unforgettable journey!! Special thanks to Elen (i hope i got the name correct)

We had te best time during our two day tour (jacobite steam train and the great glen). Amazing views and storytelling by our driver/tourguide Ben about the history and context of our surroundings. It was amazing! Everything, including accomodation, was perfectly organised and Ben was super enthousiastic, professional and relaxed. Defenetely recommended to participate in a tour!!
