Asked on January 9th, 2025We are wondering what type of vehicle is used for this trip. Does it have lots of leg room for taller individuals and is it spacious for plus size passengers? As well, does the tour have a lot of walking.
- Highland Explorer ToursOperator•Written January 2025
There is enough space on our seats on our coaches but if you require a seat at the front of the coach or a seat at the back of the bus (which would have more leg room, depending on the coach), then please let us know, and we can ask you to request this and we can add this to your booking notes and it cannot be guaranteed.
