What people love about Northern Scotland Tours
- 4-day Isle of Skye and The Jacobite Steam Train
It’s totally different sightseeing from where I come from. Very interesting.
- 4-day Isle of Skye and The Jacobite Steam Train
Eddie the driver is enthusiastic and helpful. Since we are going through the Scottish land, it didn’t matter if he didn’t pronounce accurately! He tried taking us to places. However, the size of the bus seem to have him turned away! Re the coming Orkney tour on 8th July, please confirm if the driver means 2pm at the waiting room of Inverness train station. Marked ‘waiting room’ in blue. I have to be at the train station by 5.45pm on 14 July latest to catch the night train to London on 6.45pm
- 4-day Isle of Skye and The Jacobite Steam Train
For a short tour we were impressed with how much we saw. Alex was very good as a tour guide, and demonstrated great patience as a driver.

"0verrall, the itinerary was excellent, providing loads of history. It would have been a great addition to include some folk or Gaelic music...a pub experience. One four star restaurant would be sufficient. The accomodation was comfortable with a staff ready to meet traveller's needs.
