“Alex made this tour outstanding. He was warm, funny, and extremely professional, with plenty of local “insider” stories that brought each place to life. The itinerary was well-planned and paced, and he consistently checked in on everyone after stops. Despite intermittent winter weather, Alex handled the roads confidently and safely, which made the day feel relaxed and enjoyable. I would absolutely book again — and I’d strongly recommend proper shoes in winter as some areas can be slippery.”

“Was a good day trip - there are way too many options out there for tourists wanting to see Stonehenge and that frustrated us - we ultimately more or less just picked one randomly. Ash was a good speaker and Dave drove the bus safely. We arrived on time to Stonehenge and back to London which, given traffic is a kind of miracle! :)”

Review of Stewart.Tours’ 12-hour Highland trip from Edinburgh to Glencoe, Fort William and Glenfinnan Viaduct, with practical tips and value advice.

“I had tour guide/driver Anthony and he was terrific. Highly knowledgeable, very funny and approachable, and also helped with everyone's photos! Which was very handy as a solo traveller. We had ample time everywhere, and whilst Pitlochry was pretty much closed by the time we got there (and the sun was setting as we were leaving Glenfinnan), the whisky ice cream at Pitlochry was definitely worth it. My favourite part was feeding the hairy coos! And also the extra pit stop to one of the lochs for photos & Anthony's Wallace stories. Anthony also was an expert driver, didn't feel car sick or worried once on the roads even when…”

“This was a great trip. An excellent way to get a good overview of the Highlands. Terry our guide was awesome and Graham was quite good as our driver. Terry and Graham were very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. The bus was comfy. I am tall and had plenty of legroom. The scenery was breathtaking and spectacular! We did not have enough time on our stops for a long meal but we needed to stay on time. I would recommend bringing some food/ snacks. We did the boat ride on Loch Ness which was quite nice. We did see the Coos ! This is a long trip but would…”
