Superb way to spend a day!

Gary made the trip so special, he’s a star, and all the extra effort he made was really appreciated. Our weather could not have been better, the stops in Glen Coe in particular were a true highlight for me, it has been a lifelong dream of mine to visit. If you have the chance I highly recommend this small group tour!

Valuable Experience!

Roam05330051804, Aug 2025

First of all, I'm quite impressed with the punctuality and professionalism of our team leader, Michael. He's always ready and provided important and interesting information about Scotland and Highland. Although my friend and me are not good at English, we can understand much about it. Our minibus is really comfortable, which is another thing impresses me a lot, compared to what I've traveled before. Indeed, what makes me choose the trip is due to the film 'Harry Potter' and I know it's not easy to get there myself. I search on the web and compare with travelling agents. After comparing the content and the price I choose your company. It turns out to be a valuable experience.

Great in every way....

Great in every way. Interesting, fun, relaxing. Guide, Ron, was knowledgeable and fun. The beauty of the Highlands is unmatched.

Glenfinnan & Hogwarts Express

UmeHabiba_P, Aug 2025

I took the ‘Glenfinan Viaduct, Glencoe & Loch Shiel’ tour in a Mini Coach. Our tour guide was Mr Gary and honestly what made this trip an incredible one is Mr Gary. He is a gentle and a kind man who loves his job. He gave so much information on Scottish history and was dedicated to and through in giving us the best possible experience. He made so many stops for photos and made good recommendations for restaurants & even halal food. He made each one of us comfortable given we all came from different backgrounds & ethnicities. No discrimination at all ! Loved it! I have taken so many tours in so many countries but this one with Mr Gary was the best one! For All ‘Potter-heads’, Visiting Glenfinnan Viaduct is a must. It is a 15 to 20 minute hike to the hill from where you can get the best shots. When you are almost there, you will see a sign saying ‘Train Station’ etc. but you will have to go opposite (right) side so that you see the train approaching from the front not from the back. Also, it us better to take rain boots and hike in them because if it’d have rained even a bit, it gets super muddy and since the ground uphill is soft with vegetation, your whole foot above ankle goes in the ground easily. Gets super messy so better go prepared.
