West Highland Line to Skye by Emily, 7 Jun 2018
Holiday Rating:

Wonderful

We flew into Glasgow, got the train to Spean Bridge, and from there took the Jacobite Stream Train to Mallaig. From there we got the ferry to The Isle of Skye where we spent a very pleasurable two days touring the island. It was heavenly.

Scotland at its best !

An exciting, diverse and very happy experience. My husband loves trains...what more can I say. We loved our accommodation except for one, which I mentioned in my review and the tour operator has answered my criticism, explaining the reasons, and that they will be addressed. We saw so much and loved it all. The pick up from each train to the various accommodations was always on time , as was the returns to the trains.

Mull Wildlife Experience by G and T, 3 Jun 2018
Holiday Rating:

Another fantastic two weeks in the Scottish Islands

We visited Kintyre, Islay and Mull. Very contrasting islands but all very special. Mull was the highlight and the whale and dolphin cruise from Tobermoray was spectacular

Zoe, helped a lot in organizing, last minute additions, ie local flights to tie in with the main flight, and ensuring we had the best time, she is an asset to the company,

An invigorating experience

We really enjoyed our trip to the North of Scotland and Orkney. The weather was great, stopping places and hotels well chosen. All four of us agreed we'd had a really good trip.
