We will stop for photographs in Glencoe which has very dramatic scenery and a dark past.

Here you’ll have around 2 hours to explore the town and have some lunch. You can also purchase tickets for a 1 hour cruise on the loch.

5.00It’s a long day, but you’re going to see amazing scenery throughout it and it’s worth it! Loved that this tour used small busses, it created a personalized experience where our guide Kieran called us each by name when checking with us throughout the tour. Another benefit to the small group is boarding takes only a few seconds in each stop. The minibus has gigantic windows so no matter what side the scenery was on you could enjoy it. Our guide Kieran provided commentary throughout and I learned a lot. Again with the small group made it easy to ask questions and get answers whenever. Tour company was also very responsive, sending messages the day prior to the tour with detailed instructions and ability to Chat via WhatsApp or phone.
