- Sharon· June 16th, 2024Conner was our guide and he was fun, informative, witty and a mixed of the right amount of history along our 5 day trip. This was my first experience on a bus tour. The positive was it allows you see more of the country then if you tried to drive yourself and the amount of history and story telling was so good and entertaining. I truly enjoy the trip. We were scheduled to take the Jacabite Train and it was cancelled which was disappointing. We stayed in 3 different bed and breakfasts along they way and we had 27 on our tour and they had to split us up in 3 different B&B's at each location. I think it would of been nice for each of us to staying in the same location. Also, there was only 1 night that a planned dinner was scheduled, this was great it allowed us to eat together and to get to know one another which was so much fun. I would recommend they schedule more dinners as an option.Show moreHighland Explorer Tours commented on this reviewHi Sharon,, thanks for your 5 star review. Connor is an amazing guide.

- APAnn· May 25th, 2024I would recommend this tour to everyone – whatever age – if you want to learn more about the Highlands of Scotland. The itinerary was well organized and covered a lot of amazing places with time to explore and eat. It certainly met all my expectations and more and if you are lucky enough to have Rich as your driver/guide then you have struck gold. He certainly made the tour more interesting and fun and told brilliant stories as we travelled along. He was extremely considerate with the needs of each individual in his group and his communication skills are second to none. I met some really lovely people too so all in all a wonderful trip with lots of fantastic memories.Show moreHighland Explorer Tours commented on this reviewHi Ann,, thanks for your 5 star review.
