Well presented and knowledgeable guide's. Hotel in fort William could do with some TLC but the two others were great.

Weather awful, otherwise an excellent tour. Tour leader Alan Jones organised an over-sized party with skill and good humour, making several decisions which ensured we all had a most enjoyable time.

Overall excellent with a particularly good guide. It took us to the places we wanted to revisit including those where a solo traveller would find tricky to organise.

It’s an interesting experience, covering a vast area in a well- planned but comfortable way. In spite of the cold and wet I really enjoyed it. The group were lively and friendly, our hosts very welcoming and our guides excellent. We were unable to travel on the Jacobite line for practical reasons, and didn’t warm to Dumbarton Station, where no facilities were open, but otherwise everything went well.
