Excellent tour with beautiful views and a good balance of photo and shopping opportunities. It was a pleasure to have Emma as our tour guide as we explored the Highlands. Highly recommend!

Fun ride on the Hogwarts Express; fun to say we were on the train and see the area; We then boarded a nice van for a private tour of some various scenic areas/ parks etc in the Highlands. Definately take a private tour if you can as it allows you to enjoy each of the areas at your own speed and get better info about the area

Fabulous weather made a great day. Emma managed difficult driving while sharing lots of entertaining information. Scenery was beautiful everywhere but the first stop with the castle view was my favorite.

I ended up doing this tour because another one I wanted was sold out, but this one turned out way better! We drove by so many Harry Potter filming locations, the tour guide Sonia and the steward on the Jacobite train were both extremely knowledgeable and helped us get the best photo opportunities possible. We got to ride the train across the viaduct, but then also on our way back on the bus we got there in time to hike up the hill and see it cross the viaduct from the sidelines. 100% would recommend to anyone who likes Harry Potter, or who wants a nice scenic tour of the Scottish highlands.
