Embark on an unforgettable 12-hour adventure from Edinburgh and experience the very best of the Scottish Highlands. Travel in comfort aboard a luxury mini-coach with a friendly, knowledgeable guide and a small group of no more than 16 people – ensuring a relaxed, personalised experience.

Marvel at the dramatic landscapes of Glencoe, steeped in history and surrounded by towering peaks. Continue your journey through rugged Highland scenery to the picturesque village of Fort Augustus.

Here, you’ll enjoy a cruise on the mysterious Loch Ness, where you can soak up breath-taking views and perhaps even catch a glimpse of the elusive Nessie! With the water stretching out against a backdrop of forested hills, this is a true highlight of the day.

Afterwards, travel through the stunning Cairngorms National Park, passing natural landmarks. Your final stop is the charming Victorian town of Pitlochry, where you can enjoy a short stroll before the scenic drive back to Edinburgh.

  • Breathtaking Scenery & The Best Guide Ever!

    We had an incredible day trip from Edinburgh to the Highlands, Glencoe, and Loch Ness. The scenery was absolutely stunning, with plenty of viewpoints in our day trip to enjoy the beauty around us. Our driver and guide, Graeme, made the whole experience unforgettable. His stories, humor, and deep knowledge of Scottish history (and whisky!) really brought the journey to life. He also shared great local tips on food and places to visit. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide, highly recommend this tour.

    What can I say about this trip, other than it was fantastic! Kylie talked the majority of the time about the history, events and kept the bus entertained throughout the tour. Her stops were perfectly timed, with the emphasis on safety and adhering to the requests of those who allowed us to stop and sightsee on their property. While the time at Loch Ness could have been more, it was still magical to even be there.

  • Amazing Tour - Thank You Flavio

    Really entertaining and engaging tour guide with the magnificent name of Jim Scot. Good size tour to take as not overwhelmed with queuing etc. Really recommend as a ‘sample’ of what is on offer in the length and breadth of Scotland.
