Stunning scenery, but many minor problems combined, became annoying. E.G. Why have a tour of Isle of Lewis on a Sunday, when the island is closed? Some visits were not worth the effort. Mallaig, for example. Glasgow and Edinburgh hotels not up to standard. Original hotel booking complicated by change of venue. We booked extra day. Pre-planned itinery altered with little notice.

The holiday was memorable, mostly for the lovely scenery and the friendly travelling companions. Our tour manger was very welcoming and helpful. The train ride from Fort William to Mallaig was wonderful. A very photogenic journey. While on Lewis we had an excellent tour guide who was very knowledgeable and made the trip very enjoyable with lots to see and take in. The only down side was some of the hotels. The Maldon Hotel served us a very poor meal on our first night. It was more than obvious that they were catering for a tour party. The Moxy on our last day was also a bit of a disappointment. They didn’t do proper meals. Breakfast was poor. You couldn’t call any of it Continental or Full English. In Oban, we couldn’t understand why we didn’t get a meal on the Friday night. On our last night we understood that the Moxy didn’t do full catering, but we did get a lovely meal at the neighbouring Loudins. All in all a lovely holiday.

A wonderful trip into the Highlands and the Outer Hebrides. The train ride on the Jacobin was outstanding, the hotels were fine, the distillery visit very interesting, the Isle of Lewis amazing - really loved every minute of it

The tour itself was very interesting and enjoyable. The hotels were good with the exception of the city hotels in Glasgow and Edinburgh. The guide had not done this tour before, and sometimes seemed to be struggling. For instance she did not know the way to our departure station in Glasgow and seemed confused about the ticketing arrangements there. To be fair, she improved as the holiday went on.

Interesting tour; quite a bit of (inevitable) coach travel. Perhaps a bit costlier than foreign tours.
