Full description
Embark on a full-day guided bus tour of the Scottish Highlands from Glasgow. Marvel at the wild beauty of the Scottish countryside and visit highlights, including Loch Lomond and Loch Ness. Head north towards the Highlands and admire the lush pastures of the Scottish countryside from an air-conditioned bus. Stop for a cup of tea or coffee at a café on the shores of Loch Lomond before ascending into the Highlands. Traverse the desolate landscape of Rannoch Moor and the Black Mount to Glencoe, the site of the 1692 massacre of the MacDonald clan. Learn about the events and history of the area from your guide. After lunch in the Fort William area, pass beneath Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, and into the Great Glen. At Loch Ness, opt for a sightseeing cruise on the loch or choose to admire the views from the shore. On your way back to Glasgow, cross the Grampian Mountains and admire the woodland scenery of Perthshire, including the Forest of Atholl.

We absolutely loved our trip!! What an amazing way to see Scotland! Robert our guide was friendly, accommodating and helpful from the outset. I learnt so much and laughed so much. It’s a lot of miles but is well planned and was something I’ll remember forever. A magical day!

My trip to the Highlands had some ups and downs. There were issues with boarding due to a closed-off road, which should have been communicated through the app. However, the driver went above and beyond, walking up and down to alert customers and bring us to a new stop. We were delayed by 30 minutes due to late passengers, which was frustrating, and I don't think the driver should have waited that long. The weather was really poor, with limited visibility (note to future customers: avoid traveling during storms!). On the bright side, our guide, Simba, was fantastic. He was funny, had great local and historical knowledge, and made the trip very informative. He made stops for photos and restroom breaks and was always happy to answer questions. I particularly enjoyed the haunted pub visit. One area for improvement could be to include a trip to Stirling Castle and see the William Wallace memorial, as they were mentioned but not included in the tour. Overall really enjoyed it!

Very well organized. You have the opportunity to visit a relatively large number of photo spots and places within one day. The driver's information during the trip was also very interesting. Absolutely recommended if you are only in Glasgow or the Glasgow area for a short time.
