Written on October 3rd, 2025The trip overall was okay, though there were a few things that made it less enjoyable. The bus engine was quite noisy and the microphone wasn’t working properly…Read moreMacBackpackers commented on this review
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the stunning Highland scenery and treks, and that the pace of the trip felt relaxed. We’re sorry to hear about the issues with the bus microphone and engine noise. We’ve passed this along to our tour manager so the equipment can be checked and replaced if needed. Regarding the stops, our itineraries do include sample locations, but sometimes guides adjust based on weather, timing, and group preferences. That said, we’ll review how we communicate this to make sure it’s clearer for future travellers. We are keen to improve every aspect of our tours so thanks again for the feedback! - KT

We’re sorry some stops felt rushed and that parking restrictions limited your time at certain sites. There is a problem with crowds in summer and we do our best to navigate the Island safely while taking you to see as much as we can. We do our best to balance travel times with exploring, but we understand it can feel short. We’d love to welcome you back for an even better experience next time, possibly in the autumn, winter or spring if your priority is seeing every site.- NK
