Full description
Embark on a breathtaking 4-day journey through the Scottish countryside, enjoying the grandeur of the Scottish glens, mountains and coastlines at a relaxed pace. Spend some time exploring the beautiful Isle of Skye and stop to take in the dramatic views of untouched nature as you pass the dramatic Glencoe and Glenfinnan. Day 1: Edinburgh - The Kelpies - Glencoe - Fort William Depart Edinburgh at 9:15 AM and travel northwest to visit the Kelpies, the largest pair of horse sculptures in the world and one of Scotland's most fascinating modern marvels. For lunch, stop in either of the small towns of Killin or Callander, passing through beautiful lochs and castles. After enjoying beautiful views of rivers, lochs, and forests, cross the wild and remote Rannoch Moor, a beautiful location for photographers and nature lovers. You then travel to Glencoe, one of Scotland's most famous landscapes, before heading towards Fort William, where the tour stays for the first night. Day 2: Fort William - Mallaig – Skye After breakfast, get picked up from your accommodation and travel by Glenfinnan Viaduct. It's one of the most spectacular railway bends in Britain and featured in the Harry Potter movies. There is also an iconic monument that commemorates the Jacobites who fought for Scottish independence. After arriving in Mallaig, take the ferry with your group to the southern area of the Isle of Skye. Spend your afternoon exploring the incredible landscapes of the Sleat Peninsula, with potential stops at the waterfalls of Glenbrittle or Cuillin Mountains in Elgol. The tour then heads towards the Lochalsh/Skye area, the base for the next two nights. Day 3: Travel through Skye's most iconic scenery Today the tour offers great opportunities to enjoy some of the most famous wonders of Skye, such as Quiraing, Old Man of Storr, Neist Point, etc. This day's itinerary is quite flexible, depending on the weather and the group's interests. Your experienced guide will choose a unique itinerary and will ensure you get a chance to get off the beaten track and discover what the Isle of Skye has to offer. Day 4: Skye - Dunkeld - Edinburgh This morning you say farewell to Skye and travel south through Glen Shiel towards the Central Highlands. Stop at the historic village of Dunkeld, and have the opportunity to visit the ruins of the old cathedral. The tour then heads through the Lowlands, over the Firth of Forth, and gets back to Edinburgh at approximately 6:30 PM.

This was an absolutely incredible experience! I highly recommend taking this trip. To start, Ross, our tour guide, was incredible. He was very knowledgeable and great with the group! I don’t have enough kind things to say about how incredible he was. The sights in the highlands and Skye were breathtaking and at times didn’t feel real. Accommodations were also fantastic and so was the food. Take the tour you won’t regret it.

This trip was 100% worth it. Our guide Kenny was AMAZING! He was so knowledgeable and engaging and made sure we had plenty of breaks, access to bathrooms, and time to take pictures. The trip ran smoothly and the timing was perfect. Of course it's hard to try to see it all and some people wanted to stay longer at certain places, which is expected. Overall it's a great way to see a lot of the highlands and learn the history, especially as I wasn't about to rent a car and drive on the other side of the road 😂.

My sister and I both loved our 4 day tour with our excellent guide, Fraser McSorley, to the Isle of Skye! Fraser was very knowledgeable, informative, helpful, entertaining, and ensured that everyone of the group was satisfied with their experience. He took his job as a safe driver and guide very seriously, first making sure to learn all of our names and finding our what interests and expectations for the trip were, and doing his best to meet them all.
