Overview

Today you'll be taken away from the city of Edinburgh on a highland road trip full of beautiful stops not accessible by public transport in the Scottish highlands. As we drive to the highlands, you'll hear some stories about Scotland and try some local snacks. We'll arrive at Loch Lomond and you can take some beautiful pictures of one of Scotland's most stunning lochs. We'll then make a few stops for photos and short walks near a ruined castle as well as enjoy free time in the historic town of Inveraray before arriving in stunning Glencoe with its ancient moody hills and atmospheric tranquility which have inspired films and folklore. You'll experience Scottish hospitality at its best and have an immersive experience of local culture, history, scenery, and a few local delicacies. Travel times are reflected in the tour duration and private tours are also possible.
