Easy to use, app is simple and provides good info on train routes etc. A bit pricey at first, but you if you don’t have definite plans and prebooked train tickets months before, will recommend getting this to avoid variable prices.

The BritRailPass is so worth it. Easy to activate and use the QR codes for each day. You can take your time and be assured that you can board the train at the time that you prefer. There are routes though that are really popular and crowded. Train fares are quite expensive if you buy them on the day itself so the flexibility helped a lot. We traveled around UK with our large luggages. just make sure to board the coach with the luggage compartment.

The Hop-On Hop-Off bus is a fantastic way to see Edinburgh’s attractions. The commentary was informative, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The live tracking through the app was mostly accurate and overall, it was a convenient way to explore the city.

It is definitely one of the wonderful experiences I’ve ever had. Despite the unpredictable weather, everything went quite decent. The guide, Mark, is a knowledgeable and sophisticated person who is an excellent story teller as well. He made the whole trip an unforgettable one. Likewise, the B & B we stayed is also fabulous, and the generosity and hospitality of the owner really stunned me.

amazing 3D2N tour with HAGGiS highland tour guide with Liz, who was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, highly recommend booking with them for a wonderful drive through isle of skye. We even saw the snow ❄️! This is March, it's Spring! But shortly after it was sunny again. Typical UK weather so be sure to pack warm. Rmb to take your motion sickness medicine if you have any as the roads can get windy but there were plenty of rest stops maximum every two hours or so. The lodging was a warm cozy 2 nights stay with Skye Inn at Portree, which is super comfortable and had such delicious breakfast. Only complaint was that the tour wasn't long enough so that we could see more castles and more of Isle of Skye's beautiful skylines.
