Tour operator
👍👍 Had the most incredible tour with William. The tour was so informative and interesting. Williams did an amazing job of being unbiased and telling us so much about the Troubles and what it was like for the people in that time and until present day. We felt so honoured to hear the stories from someone...

👍👍 This wasn't a planned walk we was doing but we ended up walking up there. Absolutely beautiful views from the summit, quite rocky when you get to the top.

Three Sisters Viewpoint
Scenic spot
👍👍 We parked at the viewpoint for a walk to the hidden valley (Coire Gabhail), which was very scenic although very steep to scrambling in places, some parts aren't for the feint hearted but we're not expert hill climbers, so can be done by an amateur with caution where needed but not easy and no access...

👍👍 Had such a fantastic time at the The Chocolatarium. All the chocolate was delicious - from the rich hot chocolate we were given first, to the ruby chocolate drops we were given at the end.

Ben Nevis
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Wonderful experience, but be aware, it is not easy. We climbed for 4 hours and felt exhausted. However, the most difficult part was just about to start. The pain was excruciating while coming down. Worse than when going up. The pressure on the knees makes it very painful. Not for the faint hearted....

👍👍 Excellent trip with Serenity Tours, nearly three hours with an hour on the Inner Farne island which is free to land on for National Trust members. I only had my phone camera but I was amazed how close we could actually get to the nesting birds; so an expensive super zoom camera wasn't really necessa...
