I really enjoyed how he incorporated stories told to him by his grandfather into tour. He made the 12+ hour tour entertaining and fun, especially for someone like me who loves to learn about history. It was an amazing tour. History with an extra helping of Harry Potter, my favorite pastime, and Glenfinnan Viaduct along with the Jacobite Steam train. Amazing experience!!”

Highly recommend this tour I would take it again when we return. Thank you Robb!!”
