Well organised. Good hotels and food. Tour manager excellent
Very friendly and professional guide, helpful staff when booking, comfortable accommodation at the hotels and a group of nice people to share the experience with.
The food was a bit hit and miss in hotel the starters and deserts were very nice but main meal could have been improved
Good hotels- excellent tour guide. We were well informed and the tours were interesting. Plenty of free time always allowed for own activities.
Generally good; well organised by Rail Discoveries. Satisfactory hotels, though food at Best Western not always good. Coach journeys too long, would have preferred more rail. Excellent tour manager.
Good itinerary. Excellent tour manager. Hotel general good but let us down at breakfast on the one morning we had an early start. Also our main hotel did not serve alcoholic drinks at the table. Rooms quite hot as no air conditioning. Excellent centre for this tour. Private boat on Loch Lomond enhanced tour. Excellent coach driver.
Really well organised, good choice of hotels and trips on the trains, boats and coaches. Our Tour Manager always made sure everyone knew what time and where to meet each day, which made our holiday so relaxing.
One important link in West Highland Way missed out and coach travel both there and back used instead. Disappointed that the holiday began on a sunday as this made travel to the startpoint difficult and we had to stay for an etra night.
Well organized, good fellow travellers, good hotel in highlands & good range of experiences,
The whole trip was a relaxing experience, well supervised by our courier - and efficiently organised
