Great tour!
This was a wonderful tour. Ben was our guide and he was fantastic. He made the history entertaining and informative. We got so much more out of the experience than if we’d just gone to the castle on our own. We did the 10 AM tour, then watched the 1:00 cannon firing and explored the museums.

Hogwarts Express and Scottish Highland Tour great experience
It is a really long day however there are toilet and refreshment stops along the way. The stop to view the Glenfinnan viaduct was exciting. We decided to climb the hill for our photos.The train ride was amazing and we were sitting on the right hand side so could view the front and back of the train as it travelled across the viaduct.Our tour director/bus driver Touva was exceptional. He did talk pretty much the whole trip but told us Scottish history stories that were entertaining and always had a reference to a particular song. Very clever!We loved our Hogwarts Express and Scottish Highland Tour. Thank you Highland Explorer Tours for a well organised trip.

Great experience - 100% recommend!
I have never been to one of these types of tours, but I was honestly very pleasantly surprised - I thought it might be too long, but it actually flew by. It was very well organised, with proper breaks and stops that break up the travel time. They're also very considerate and offer comfort stops every certain amount of time; there are also always options to buy food on almost every stop. Our bus (Daisy) was great, very clean and comfortable, and our driver/guide Jason H (the H's for Handsome ;D) was really friendly, he offered a lot of commentary but also knew when to give people breaks and let the music play, so it was very good. At no point did it feel like too much information, so I think he did a great job, all whilst driving a coach on those roads, which is no small feat! Overall a great experience, that I can 100% recommend :)
