Review of the Hogwarts Express Highlands tour from Inverness, with train tips, scenic stops, value advice, timing, and practical details.
“The driver Iain was great, particularly with sharing stories and history. Unfortunately the 12 hour day was far too long. The train ride was good, there should have been an opportunity for first class seats but the time in Mallaig was not enough. The other stopping points weren’t compelling enough and the one or two villages that we stopped at didn’t have enough time.”

Review of a private Loch Ness and Culloden tour from Inverness, with Urquhart Castle, whisky, Clava Cairns, and practical booking advice.
“This tour had a lot of interesting stops. Our driver William was fantastic and made the experience well worthwhile. He worked tirelessly for 8 hours to keep us informed, laughing and at times tearful. Clava Cairns, Culloden, the whiskey stop were the highlights of the tour. The hairy coos and Urquhart castle were less impressive. Our stop for lunch and the priory were a lot of fun. William was the greatest highlight of all. He told us so many stories. You could fill a book.”
Ride the Jacobite Steam Train from Inverness, see Loch Ness and Glenfinnan, and explore the Highlands on a full, scenic day tour.
“guide was awesome Duffy was nice, helpful and very informative. He also is an amazing driver. How he navigated our huge bus on narrow roads is amazing. I would fully recommend the locations were a lot nicer than expected and views amazing. Only booked your to get the steam train ride and had low expectations of the actual tour. Duffy really made it great and I am glad we stayed for the full tour. only improvement would be space. The seats are super tight and if person reclines in front of you it's worst than flying coach on a plane.”

Review of the $55 Isle of Skye day trip from Inverness, including Loch Ness, Eilean Donan Castle, Portree, and Skye viewpoints.
“This is amazing trip. The guide was very good and educated. As always in sich trips we have visited many locations and saw lots of interesting places. The only thing is that we visit usually too many places where we stay for 10-20 minutes just for photo. I would maybe do something like: visit two-threw places in one day, rather than 5. For example in this case i would do: Castle, Portree and Old Man Strorr. To climb closer to the Strorr not just to make photo from a distance, which we did. It was bit disappointing as there was a place where we could climb bit closer. It would…”
