★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 2,405 reviews · 3 days · from $244Our pick

From Edinburgh, tour Glencoe, Glenfinnan Viaduct, Inverness and Skye in 3 days with live guides, film locations, and Scottish views.

“I really enjoyed this tour, especially the landscapes, the small villages, and the unspoiled nature. It gave me the opportunity to relax and take a break from the chaos of the usual cities. The timing was well planned, and Stephen was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, punctual, and with the true sense of humor that distinguishes real Scots! I took the tour with snow on the ground, and Stephen always drove in a safe and careful manner, even on rough and dark roads. I will definitely do the tour again to see the Highlands green rather than white. Highly recommended!”

This was the perfect length to see so much beauty the highlands has to offer, and the size of the group was wonderful to get to know each other without feeling crowded! The drive up and back also included great stops with plenty of breaks to stretch and see something epic! Our driver was Alan- he’s been doing this a while so knew all the secrets of giving us an amazing tour. He has a curious nature so had so much knowledge on so many topics Scotland-related,…”

“Louise was an excellent guide, she adjusted well to weather conditions and also gave us options for what we wanted to do. A small tour of 8 in a sprinter bus, I got to know everyone and learned a lot about Scotland’s history. Beautiful places and I took hundreds of pictures. I think my favorite was probably Duntulm castle ruins and feeding the hairy coo. I did choose to pay for the extra excursion with the boat to Urquhart castle for £30 which while worth while felt like to should have been included in the price of the trip. I highly recommend doing this trip, or even a longer one…”

“This was weird because we were part of a bigger group That was not backpackers. Globaly it was good - the last day was chaotic and too Much charges with stops That were useless. Think about bringing snacks. Was really an ultimate tour - but i think That dôme stops should be planed differently and maybe changed. I think That the Driver was 100% into the tour and was responsible for it being a success.”

Traveling the winding roads of the highlands to the Isle of Skye was absolutely beautiful. All while they told us all the history and folk tales. Tom also played Scottish music old and new which was incredibly atmospheric. All in all, the best part of our two week trip to the UK.”
