Guided South Downs day trip from London: Devil’s Dyke, Beachy Head, Seven Sisters and Longman of Wilmington, with round-trip trains.
“Was very nice. Clear explanation. Nice guide and people”
From Inverness, ride the Jacobite Steam Train one-way to Mallaig, with Loch Ness stops, quick castle views, and local guide stories.
“Great day out, Craig did a great job, plenty of Scottish humour, very informative”
A 13-14 hour Highlands day trip from Edinburgh with Harry Potter filming sites and the Jacobite steam train, plus Glenfinnan views.
“God bless Ian! He made a very long day so much more enjoyable! Great stories while driving through the highlands. Amazing view of the viaduct at Glennfinnian, once in a lifetime experience! Unfortunately the train from Mallaig was late returning so it put us behind, but Ian went above and beyond to get us all back in a timely manner! 😁”
From York, ride through the North York Moors to Whitby, Goathland, and film locations, with optional steam rail and spooky Dracula links.
“the experience was excellent and the driver very knowledgable”
Drive Scotland’s Highlands and explore Isle of Skye with Loch Ness, Eilean Donan, and optional Jacobite steam train from Edinburgh.
“I was a solo traveler, so was forced to pay double as a penalty. That was the ONLY negative aspect of the experience”
See Cardiff and Caerphilly Castles, ride the Brecon Mountain Railway, stroll Brecon canal and visit Cyfarthfa Museum on a full day trip.
“It was great. Only four of us so that made it more personal. Fed was an awesome driver/guide. He taught us a lot about Wales. Would definitely book again.”
Three days across Scotland from Inverness to Skye, with a ferry, B&B breakfasts, and optional Jacobite steam train and whisky.
“Harrison was an excellent guide, and the trip was well planned and fun. I would recommend him for anybody that wants to have a good time and be with a personable, informative and flexible guide. He was fun to be with for three days and came up with a lot of extra activities that weren’t listed online. Overall an experience that was definitely worth the price.”
Four nations, and the best of what each one puts on.
