This is the shortlist we’d hand a friend the night before: the 6 train journeys worth booking, each with its price, its verdict, and the one thing to know first.
3-day Highlands and Isle of Skye tour from Edinburgh with the Jacobite steam train, Portree stay, and iconic castles and lochs.
“Cliff was an amazing guide with lots of knowledge of the beautiful areas we saw on our trip. I would definitely book this again!”
Ride the Jacobite train to Glenfinnan, spot Harry Potter filming locations, and enjoy big Highland views on a long but rewarding day trip from Edinburgh.
“I can’t believe how complete and nice this trip was. The guide is an amazing guy with a good sense of humor, respectful and very helpful!! As a Harry Potter fan I’m truly grateful and happy with this tour, also I’ve been to more than 4 tours in Scotland and so far this one was the most detailed and well explained one, the coach was very clean and comfortable with some snacks and water for the costumers. I’d say it’s a 1000/10 tour!!! ✨⚡️🚂”
5 days from Edinburgh to Skye with Loch Ness, Culloden, Eilean Donan, and the Jacobite Steam Train from Fort William to Mallaig.
“We had a great guide which made all the difference. We saw Loch Ness, Stirling Castle, the Wallace Monument, the Jacobite Steam Train, the Kelpies, the battlefield of the Jacobites and Bonnie Prince Charlie, and many other awesome sites. All were impressive! In addition, our hotel accommodations were good and some were excellent. More rest stops on some routes would have been helpful. We also had a great group with whom we enjoyed travelling for the five days. We highly recommend this tour of Scotland.”
Skye, Loch Ness, castles, and the optional Jacobite steam train from Edinburgh, with two nights in Portree and guided Highlands.
“This is a must book if you are going to the Highlands and Isle of Skye. Tom was our tour guide with assistance from Kieran and they were a hoot! Traveling the winding roads of the highlands to the Isle of Skye was absolutely beautiful. All while they told us all the history and folk tales. Tom also played Scottish music old and new which was incredibly atmospheric. All in all, the best part of our two week trip to the UK.”
Ride the Jacobite Steam Train from Fort William to Mallaig on a Highlands day trip from Edinburgh, with Harry Potter film spots along the way.
“El paisaje es maravilloso, es muy recomendable ir. El chófer Brendan, fue genial muy amable e informativo. Lo malo de este tour, fue que nosotros lo contratamos en español y no hubo absolutamente nadie de habla hispana que te ofreciera algo de información, es más, cuando me llegó el aviso del punto de recogida, decía "idioma español - escrito" y ni eso tuvimos. Una lastima. Ahora, si tienes pensado ir en vehículo a Inverness evita este tour ya que puedes ver estos paisajes , yendo de Inverness a Glasgow.”
4 days from Edinburgh to Skye with a guided Highland road trip and a summer Jacobite Steam Train ride to Glenfinnan Viaduct.
“It has been great! The pacing was good, our guide Stefan was lovely :) he really did his best to make sure we got to see everything and more!! He was also very knowledgable about nature, myths and legends and history. Can definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get the most out of Skye!! It is a magical place and we got to see so many beautiful spots on the island!”
