This is the shortlist we’d hand a friend the night before: the 4 train journeys worth booking, each with its price, its verdict, and the one thing to know first.
3 days from Edinburgh to Skye and the Highlands, with the Jacobite steam train ride, Glenfinnan Viaduct views, and iconic castles.
“Cliff was an amazing guide with lots of knowledge of the beautiful areas we saw on our trip. I would definitely book this again!”
Ride the Jacobite train through Glenfinnan, spot Loch Shiel and other Harry Potter filming sites, and tour Scotland from Edinburgh.
“Magical Highlands Tour/Harry Potter Train I was traveling with my mom for the last two weeks and out of all the tours we've done, this one was best! And it is LARGELY because of our tour guide, Brendan or "B-Dog". He is extremely knowledgeable about Scottish history, as well as Harry Potter facts (he admitted to not being a big fan of the franchise but still remembered so much!), which is why we originally booked this tour.

5 days from Edinburgh through the Highlands and Skye, with Jacobite Steam Train, Loch Ness cruise, castles, and whisky, plus B&B stays.
“We had a great guide which made all the difference. We saw Loch Ness, Stirling Castle, the Wallace Monument, the Jacobite Steam Train, the Kelpies, the battlefield of the Jacobites and Bonnie Prince Charlie, and many other awesome sites. All were impressive! In addition, our hotel accommodations were good and some were excellent. More rest stops on some routes would have been helpful. We also had a great group with whom we enjoyed travelling for the five days. We highly recommend this tour of Scotland.”
Jacobite Steam Train day trip from Edinburgh with Highland scenery, Harry Potter filming spots, Fort William, Mallaig, Glenfinnan and Pitlochry.

Guided 4-day Skye and Highlands tour from Edinburgh with Eilean Donan, Skye’s icons, and the Jacobite Steam Train in summer.
“Stefan was a great guide. Even saved us from an angry bogle. We saw and learned more than you’d possibly think, from the clan battles to myths to geology and history. Since we will be seeing more of Scotland after the tour, he wrote a list of sites for us to visit on our own.”
