Hi Sidona, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your Skye & Inverness tour and that Iain’s knowledge and accommodating approach made the trip so memorable. We’re sorry to hear that the communication regarding the meeting point and schedule caused some confusion. The start and end locations and times are outlined in the introduction, as well as the first and last stops of your itinerary on Tour Radar. Please note that times are approximate and can vary depending on traffic conditions on the day. In some cases, such as when a drop-off in Glasgow is not requested by enough passengers, a complimentary train ticket back to Glasgow may be provided, which can naturally affect the arrival time. This is clearly specified in the final part of the itinerary description. We are always happy to answer any questions before your tour, and we regret that we didn’t have the chance to clarify these details for you in advance. Despite this, we hope you had a wonderful experience exploring Scotland with us. We would love to welcome you on another adventure in the future, where we can ensure an even smoother booking process. Best wishes, Eleonora Highland Experience Tours - PG

Dear A’ra, We are very sorry to read your negative feedback regarding your 5-Day Scottish Choice Tour and regret that your experience did not meet expectations. However, we must clarify several points in your review. As explained in detail in the email correspondence sent to you, your tour departure did operate as scheduled, with all key elements of the itinerary covered to the best extent possible under the day’s conditions. The driver will always attempt to make a stop at the Glenfinnan monument itself, but unfortunately on this day the carpark was full, and the staff on site were not accepting any buses. We do reserve the right to alter our itineraries, and we are glad you were still able to experience the beautiful surrounding scenery and drive much of the route of the Jacobite Steam Train. We are shocked to read your feedback regarding your expert driver guide. All our guides, including new members of the team, undergo extensive training and route familiarization before leading any multi-day tour. While Craig was newer to leading extended tours, he is a fully licensed and qualified guide who met all required standards before departure. Only a small handful of drivers are highlighted at any given time on our website and we have a large team of professional guides and drivers. Our quality records and passenger feedback from other customers do not reflect your comments. While regional accents can occasionally present challenges for some visitors, this does not reflect a lack of knowledge or effort on the guide’s part. We encourage passengers to voice such concerns during the tour so that accommodations can be made in real time. We can understand that a joke poking fun about not knowing some of the locations was not appreciated out of context and this feedback has been passed to our transport management. Regarding the vehicle, it was fully inspected before departure and cleared for service. Our fleet is maintained to high standards, and we would not knowingly send out a vehicle that is not fully fit for purpose. Our vehicles are checked every morning and evening to ensure that everything is functioning properly, but unfortunately issues can occur whilst on tour. A minor noise was reported and monitored throughout the trip and did not pose a safety risk. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused regarding the noise on the bus and we have taken your feedback on board. We welcome all feedback that helps us improve, but we must also defend our guides and company and we are confident that your driver guide went above and beyond to try to give you a wonderful experience on tour. We remain committed to providing authentic, high-quality Highland experiences to every passenger but we regret that we were unable to match your expectations this time. Kind regards, Sofia Shop Manager Highland Experience- JM

Keeping You Safe
The safety of our passengers, our colleagues and the wonderful local communities we visit is of the utmost importance to us and we are taking the following steps to ensure that it continues to be held paramount.
Your tour guide is used to making changes under pressure to give you the best experience possible. They are kept up to date on current safety protocols and will ensure that all passengers adhere to safety advice in order to ensure a safe journey for everyone. Your guide will carefully manage passengers boarding and disembarking the vehicle and the location of seats for passengers on board. Your guide will wear a facial covering except when driving in accordance with Department for Transport guidance.
Sanitised Vehicles
Our luxury vehicles will be deep cleaned by hand before and after each tour. In addition to this all vehicles will be further sanitised after each tour using a fogging machine. The antibacterial and antiviral disinfectant used in the fogging machine is distributed throughout the vehicle in a fine mist. This ensures all areas including touch surfaces and seats are fully sanitised and the vehicle is safe and ready for each tour.
Contactless Check In
In order to maintain minimum contact please provide your name and booking reference at check in. Printed confirmation is not required.
During Your Tour
Each passenger will keep their own seat throughout the tour. Any common touch points will be regularly wiped down by the driver/guide throughout the tour.
Hand Sanitiser

Questions & Answers
Should I get travel insurance?

What should I bring with me?
As above, it is always advisable to be prepared for any weather in Scotland so a jacket is always a good idea! A bottle of water for hydration and a camera to capture the spectacular views and you are set to go!It is not necessary for you to bring your own meals, as we will stop throughout the day in small towns or villages where you can purchase food, however you are more than welcome to bring along snacks or a packed lunch.
What should I wear?
Whilst there are no strenuous physical activities on our tours, we would recommend you wear comfortable clothing and shoes, and a jacket is always advisable.
