Details

Take a luxury coach with air conditioning and a maximum of 57 seats from Edinburgh. As you pass Stirling Castle, your guide will tell you stories about William Wallace and Robert the Bruce as well as the bloody battles that took place on these lands.

First, get to the town of Callander, which is at the foot of the Trossachs. Drive next through the Trossachs National Park and Loch Lomond. You'll learn about the notorious Highlander Rob Roy MacGregor from your Scottish tour guide. As you travel to Glencoe, a stunning Highland valley, follow in James Bond's (Skyfall) and Harry Potter's (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) footsteps. Hear the chilling account of the 1692 massacre at Clan MacDonald. Travel through Fort William, the location of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles at 4,409 feet.

Arrive in Fort Augustus, a charming village on the south bank of Loch Ness, where you can have lunch in one of the many cafes, shops, or restaurants. Enjoy a one-hour boat cruise to Loch Ness after strolling along the Caledonian Canal's banks. Make an effort to spot "Nessie," the fabled Loch Ness Monster.

Appreciate the noteworthy Commando Commemoration at Spean Extension with perspectives on the Nevis Reach. Enter the "Monarch of the Glen" region of the Cairngorms National Park. Drive along Loch Laggan before the streets move over the Grampian Mountains. Cross the Drumochter Pass, which connects the Central Highlands' northern and southern regions. Enjoy the grandeur of a mountain pass that was made by glacial activity during successive Ice Ages. Finally, make a brief stop in the charming Victorian town of Pitlochry before returning to the city center of Edinburgh around 8:30 p.m.

Stephen, our authentic Scottish guide, was excellent this day, a long day to be sure! We had him tour us on 6 July 2022, and strongly recommend both him and also this tour. Beautiful scenery, animals, and stops for food during the day. But the dinner stop was too short to actually get food to bring not he bus. Be advised however u r going to go 1.5-as much as 2 hrs between bus stops and bathroom breaks, as there is no toilet on board the buses.

It’s amazing tour Steve was great, he is funny and also he’s a good driver, he told great stories during the trip and played music a long the way, he’s makes the tour very entertaining and not boaring. The scenery was spectacular even though the weather was cloudy. It’s perfect tour to see Scotland nature

A quick day trip into the highlands to get a taste of the region. Definitely worth the time and money. Our driver/guide Stephen was entertaining and friendly. He clearly loves his job and enjoys what he does. The bus is fairly small and not very comfortable for such a long day, but it’s ok. There are no washrooms on board but our driver made plenty of stops to accommodate us. There are no foot rests or USB chargers on the bus so be prepared as it is a long day with lots of time spent on the bus.

Amazing tour! Our guide Ryan was very kind, funny and helpful! He told great stories and played some music on the bus. Made some stops at beautiful photo-spots, got to feed some hairy cows and visit some great places in the highlands. We even tried Whiskey ice cream. A perfect tour for a peek into Scotland’s amazing nature and excited culture!

This day trip absolutely fantastic! Our tour guide Scott was great, his stories were funny and informative and his music taste exquisite! It was a looong day spent in a bus, but the scenery behind the window was breathtaking. The stops we made were great and the views just gorgeous:) I also took the Loch Ness cruise, which was also fun! As a solo traveler 10/10 would recommend:)

Now every time I hear Bridge over troubled water I'll think of crossing the Forth bridge in Scotland. Because Brian knew what songs to play at the proper moments and is excellent at creating memories, his storytelling was exceptional. He has a way of rousing the crowd to make it an enthusiastic and enjoyable experience. Most notably he's a proud Scotsman and made me feel proud to be a MacDonald. It was evident that he is the right man for the job, enjoys himself and I highly recommend him as a tour guide. I hope he was appropriately tipped.

Scott is a great guide - really personable and nice and had a lot of knowledge of the area. We really enjoyed the tour - despite no restroom on board there were a lot of rest stops. We got sandwiches in Callander that lasted us the whole trip and enjoyed sweet treats in Port Augustus and Pitlochry. I was nervous about going on the Loch Ness cruise but it was so calm that I didn’t get boat sick at all! Well worth it for a day trip to the Highlands!

It was excellent. John, our guide, was amazing when he talks you can feel the passion about Scotland, his pride to be Scottish. He entertained us all day long with stories, legends and facts about the highlands and Scotland in general. I loved the experience

I had the most amazing time on this trip. I would recommend it to everyone. The best thing is that I had a driver named Ryan, who had amazing knowledge and provided 12.5 hours of pure energy and entertainment. Things to keep in mind, you will need cash for the boat ride (for me it was £16.50 for an adult, I think it was £11 for a child). You have plenty of time in the coach to relax and listen to the history of Scotland. I would definitely recommend bringing snacks and a mini picnic in case you get hungry, but I assure you there are plenty of places to get food in Loch Ness. There were plenty of stops to go to the toilet as well and the driver was very accommodating. Thank you Ryan for an amazing trip to the Highlands.

it was a memorable trip. Our driver John was energetic and friendly and he provided so much information which kept us awake whole tour. loved every moment of this. In future, i would just like to add that some rocking music needs to be played inside bus which prompts tourists to dance on groovy numbers.
