Jacobite express steam train tour

Planet

We have carefully planned and organised this vacation so that clients can access these world famous attractions without the need to drive. This is part of our goal to always be expanding our range of public transport vacations to locations that aren’t traditionally accessible without a car, to provide options for those who actively choose low-carbon transport.

All travel within this tour is either by train or by mini coach, including a small group bus tour of 8 in Glenfinnan with a local guide. Accommodation is local businesses.

We are members of AITO – The Association of Independent Tour Operators – and adhere to their strict environmental code of conduct.

Our primary marketing channel is the internet. While we do produce printed materials upon customer request, we continuously strive to minimize our paper documentation. We prefer using an app to provide vacation documents, and we are committed to recycling any leftover marketing materials.

We are corporate members of the John Muir Trust, an organisation committed to protecting the wild land of the Scottish highlands and islands.
