Here is a selection of the most recent reviews of the 3-Day Rail Trip to Edinburgh, Loch Ness and the Highlands from London submitted by actual travelers. Read what travelers liked, what they loved, and what they thought could be improved.
The tour guide was great on the trip to Loch Ness. Edinburgh was very nice. The hotel was good with typical smaller european room sizes. Overall all a very worth while trip. The boat trip on Loch Ness is a must or you won't see much of the loch.

Great tour, especially if you're looking to cover a reasonably large amount of ground in Scotland, on not much time. Thought the pace was very good, and really some of the scenery is simply breathtaking.

Only problem was we got to the train station and they only had tickets for one out of four in our party. This was corrected and we left about an hour later than originally planned. Highland Tour was excellent!!Great accommodations in Edinburgh in perfect location!

The tour package was done very badly.
First, the organiser was late to meet us at King's cross station. She only arrive at 640am when the train was to depart at 7am. For first timer like me, it causes unnecessary worries that we are unable to get proper briefing from the organiser.
Furthermore the hotel allocated was so horrible.
The Royal British Hotel is not only old.
The room is very very dirty with many dust gathering in all parts of the room.
The floor squeaks no matter how quietly you try to walk.
We have to find ourselves another hotel on our own expense so that we can sleep for the night.
Luckily the second day tour by the highlands tour is a good one.
I strongly recommend to do a free and easy tour on your own bypassing this package altogether.
