“We had a great guide which made all the difference. We saw Loch Ness, Stirling Castle, the Wallace Monument, the Jacobite Steam Train, the Kelpies, the battlefield of the Jacobites and Bonnie Prince Charlie, and many other awesome sites.

Small-group Highland and Skye road trip from Edinburgh with 4 nights included, iconic castles, and flexible stops.
“This is quite a fantastic tour. It is a great advert for Scotland and can easily make you fall in love with the country. Our guide Daniel was awesome with his history, myths and stories about almost every nook and cranny of the Highlands. When we went there, we experienced some rough weather but the enthusiasm of Daniel made almost all of us on the tour brave the blustery winds and getting pelted with hall.

I had initially planned to drive around but I would not have heard such great Scottish songs, or known about Scottish history if it…”

“This was a fantastic trip, where we got to see many interesting places. I was fascinated by the landscape and the colors. It was absolutely magical and I especially loved the Isle of Skye. Our guide, Paul, was knowledgeable and also told many stories along the way. Our residences were absolutely top notch. I am very happy with the trip, except that we were dropped off the bus at a completely different place in Edinburgh than what was agreed. A currently unknown city for us. We had booked a hotel precisely with this in mind, and it was not good to have to drag heavy luggage in hilly terrain for…”

“My daughter and I really enjoyed this tour Steve, the lead tour guide on this tour was incredible! His knowledge of Scottish history, and his kind heart was admirable. I have issues with my knee and at times during this tour he accommodated me by not letting me have to walk to the hotel location at the end of the day. I really appreciated it.
