The Eurial Global Flexible Pass has been easy to use and manage my tickets. It's nice that you can use one day and take multiple trains within that day (very helpful when you have missed your prior train). It provides most of the platform numbers at each station. Only thing I can say that I wish was better about it is that, it would be nice if there was a better list of train station names for cities (got on train to another part of the city)

Great tour guide, very funny and helpful. Amazing landscapes. The isle of Skye is absolutely stunning. We spent two nights in Portree, a small but lovely Village.

A great tour, with plenty of stops—even short ones—to take in the scenic views.
Alan was knowledgeable, professional, and very friendly!
We also added the Loch Ness cruise and admission to Urquhart Castle, which were also really nice.

There weren't many of us, and the weather was pretty nice, so it was very pleasant. It's a good idea to read up on the history of Loch Ness before boarding if you don't speak English very well, since you can't hear very clearly. The staff was very friendly, though. I recommend it 😊

At the beginning it was not very easy to understand how to use it mainly for trains with supplements. But now I got it well and cross Europe with great pleasure. It was a good option.
