You will get to experience Scotland through its scenery, culture and history in this three day tour brought to you by one of our fantastic driver-guides. Depart from Glasgow and day one will take you through the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. You’ll have to time to explore a picturesque villages perched on the banks of the loch. From here we’ll head a further north to one of the most beautiful places in Scotland, Glen Coe. Once sight of the gruesome MacDonald Clan Massacre; this glen of dramatic mountains and waterfalls will be a highlight of your Scottish trip. Your lunchtime stop will be in Fort William, many films were shot in or near this bustling Highland town. You can also take in views of Ben Nevis, the UK's tallest peak. Our day ends with a visit to one of Scotland’s most iconic castles, Eilean Donan (own expense). Perched on a small tidal island where Loch Duich, Loch Long and Loch Alsh meet, the backdrop to the castle is as unforgettable as the castle itself.
Overnight: Isle of Skye
After a hearty Scottish breakfast your second day is dedicated to the Isle of Skye. Your experienced driver-guide will ensure you get the most out of your day on the island based on weather and your group. You’ll be able to enjoy a leisurely lunch (own expense) in the colorful harbor town of Portree. The rest of the afternoon will be spent taking you to various beautiful spots such as Kilt Rock, the Old Man of Storr and the opportunity to taste a few drams of whisky.

After another restful night of the Isle of Skye, we’ll journey off the island to Loch Ness, the deepest loch in the UK and home of the famous monster Nessie. There are many ways to experience the beauty and mystery, perhaps a Jacobite cruise (own expense) to see Urquhart Castle (own expense) or just monster spotting from the shore, the choice is yours! We’ll then make our way to Culloden Battlefield. Here you have the chance to stand upon the place of the famous 1745 battle, and learn about it in the interactive visitor centre (own expense).

The trip started with not a very pleasant experience because the trip was delayed for 1 hr as the bus broken down. That’s why I don’t give full mark. With this, the first day is quite rush and every spots that we just can stay for very short period of time. Day 2 is much better as the whole day is at Isle of Skye. The B and B we stay is good and the places are beautiful. The tour guide Cat is very good and well managed everything. Driver Steward also nice and dress up tradition Scott dress for us to take pic with him. Day 3 tour of Loch Ness is the best. The weather is fantastic and the scene is best. Don’t miss if you think that you need to pay extra $. Net. Good trip.
The trip was cut to 2 day due to the wheel fell off the bus. My husband notified the driver that the tire needed to be tightened. The noise indicated something was not right but the driver was not familiar with mechanical issue, obviously. He is a driver not a mchanic. The company should never let the bus in that condition be deiven. Luckily nobody got hurt and we saw the outside tire fell off immediately and the bus stopped on the side of a moubtain hill without swerving to traffic or against traffic.
We had the best time! Tour and sights were awesome. The Isle of Skye and Highlands are absolutely beautiful. Our tour guide, Chick, was super! We loved him. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We would definitely try to get him again. The bus was comfortable and we loved our accommodations. The view was lovely.
The tour was amazing because it’s the Highlands of course but also because of our guide, James!!! James is Exceptionally knowledgeable about the Highland history and spoke slowly and eloquently so that those of us thave trouble understanding different accents, could keep up with him! Thank you again!
The tour itself was amazing. We very much enjoyed our driver, the bus and our accomations. We did have issues with communication from viator to the tour company that ran the trip. When we arrived at our B and B they did not have our name on the list. We requested a double and got two twins.
John Paul was an excellent tour guide. The Isle of Skye and the Highlands are extremely beautiful. We saw so many incredible things. The scenery took my breath away!
