We loved the tour, but we got this tour specifically for the train experience. We understand it was beyond the tour operator's control, but we would have loved seeing the viaduct and other things to make up for the train not running. Other than that, Noah was great and we had a brilliant time. He even took us to a few places that had better view of well known spots. The guest house was lovely.

Connor was our tour guide and he did a great job. He gave us so much history of Scotland and he is a great story teller. Very entertaining. The Highlands are beautiful and well worth visiting. Highly recommend!
Stayed 2 nights at the Skye Inn located in Portree, which was a very nice place to stay. Had dinner at the hotel with our tour group. The food was excellent. A three course meal with the best seafood chowder. It was enjoyable visiting with members of our tour group at the hotel restaurant.
All-around we thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
