A Fantastic Highland Day with an Outstanding Guide

X5506RCjoshuab, Jul 2026

We had a wonderful experience on the Glenfinnan Viaduct tour with Sandy. He struck the perfect balance between sharing fascinating history and giving everyone time to simply enjoy the incredible Highland scenery. His stories and historical anecdotes during the drive were engaging, and when we had the chance to chat with him at stops, it became clear how well read and widely traveled he is—his perspectives made for some memorable conversations. When an accident closed one of the roads, Sandy and Discover Scotland Tours adapted seamlessly by reversing the itinerary, and the day never felt rushed or disrupted. He read the group well, offering just the right amount of commentary throughout the day. The coach was comfortable with excellent visibility (one seat on the left, two on the right). Sandy is an all-around good egg, and we'd happily tour with him again.

Great day out to the highlands

We had a great day on our minibus tour of the highlands. Our driver & guide Doug was excellent, keeping us entertained and well informed along the way. There were plenty of stops along the way for photos & rest breaks. I would highly recommend this tour.

Magical moments across the Highlands

We had an amazing tour with the best driver, Brian. His knowledge, smooth driving, and wonderful personality truly made the day complete. We were lucky enough to meet both big and small hairy coos, enjoy stunning scenery even in the rain, and experience several memorable additional stops along the way. The Jacobite train was steaming across the viaduct right as we arrived — such a perfect moment. This tour is full of hidden gems, and every stop felt thoughtfully chosen. Don’t miss out!

An amazing day, where we got to see many nice views of Scotland. Our guide Douglas was absolutely superb, accommodating, service-minded and with fantastic stories about Scotland.

Thank you for the 5 stars! It is great to hear that you enjoyed Dougie's stories and his accommodating guiding. We hope to help you discover more of Scotland another time. - Discover Scotland Tours
