1.4-Day Isle of Skye and Highlands Small-Group Tour from Edinburgh

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 200 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $907Our pick

Small group Highlands and Isle of Skye tour from Edinburgh with two Skye days, Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glen Coe, and included breakfasts.

“The trip was good and the guide/driver was fantastic. We wish we could spend a little bit more time at some of the stops. One of the hotels was terrible with the very very small window and very dirty sheet, ie, urine stain mark on the bedsheet. Had to ask the receptionist to provide another sheet to cover that. We also did not get the en-suite room in the second B&B. We did get a separate bathroom, but needed to travel across the common corridor. Better book the accommodation by yourself, not go through the travel agent.”

4 Day Islay Whisky Tour from Edinburgh

4 Day Islay Whisky Tour from Edinburgh - Kennacraig Ferry Crossing: 2 Hours of Island Scenery

2.4 Day Islay Whisky Tour from Edinburgh

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 148 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $1,520

4 days of Islay whisky from Edinburgh, with mini-bus, ferry crossings, distillery tours, tastings, and 3 breakfasts.

“This was well worth the cost to have all the details taken care of in advance. Moray was a great guide, and the quantity/variety/pace of the experiences at the various distilleries (and the Whisky Vault) was pretty perfect. (But when they tell you you need dinner reservations in Bowmore, you really do - even for 1.)”

3.Isle of Skye and Hogwarts Express 4-Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 142 reviews · 83 hours · from $1,071

A small-group 4-day Highlands trip from Edinburgh to Skye, Glen Coe, Loch Ness, and the Jacobite Steam Train. Great value, tight timing.

“My family and I went back and forth on which Highland tour to take. We finally decided to take this 4-day tour as it stopped at most of the places we wanted to see. I’m glad we did! This tour covered so much, from the various stops to the overnight stays (including breakfast) this tour was very well organized. Our tour guide Eddie was great! His personality and knowledge was spot on. In fact, as the weather in Scotland changes all the time, one day he reorganized our schedule swapping the morning stops with the afternoons and it was perfect! He answered any questions, addressed any issues and recommended restaurant…”

4-day small group from Edinburgh to Skye and the West Highlands, with the Kelpies, Glenfinnan Viaduct, castles, Morar beaches, and Ben Nevis.

“Rabbies was super professional and reacted super quickly when we had questions before the trip. We went on the 4 days Isle of Skye tour with our guide Andy D. We were there during the heavy storm Amy and Andy handled the situation brilliantly. Despite the extremly difficult weather conditions he managed to give us the full experience and showed us as much as possible from all the sights. He was unbelievably knowledgable about historic facts, had a great sense of humour and had always the right songs on the playlist. Great job, Andy D. and Rabbies. Yours, the Lobster King”

“Stefan was a great guide. Even saved us from an angry bogle. We saw and learned more than you’d possibly think, from the clan battles to myths to geology and history. Since we will be seeing more of Scotland after the tour, he wrote a list of sites for us to visit on our own.”

Outlander and Jacobite sites from Edinburgh in a 16-seat coach, key castle admissions, 3 breakfasts, and 3 included nights.

“Booking a smaller group tour is so much better then the large bus groups. This tour not only took us to Outlander filming locations but also beautiful nature areas that larger buses would not be able to reach. Don't forget to pack a windbreaker at a minimum or a thicker coat depending on the time of year you go because there is a good chance you will have some rain during your visit. Be sure to wear hiking boots or similar type footwear to enable you to traverse the slippery and possibly wet ground. You must be able to hike up hill short distances in order to see the magnificent…”
