What to expect
This full-day tour from Edinburgh introduces you to some of the Scottish Highlands' most scenic landscapes, with stops that highlight both natural beauty and local heritage, including Glencoe and Loch Ness.When booking, you can choose between three options: a tour-only experience with transport and a driver-guide, or enhance your experience with additional options such as a one-hour cruise on Loch Ness or a combined visit to Urquhart Castle (30–45 minutes) followed by a 30-minute Loch Ness cruise.After leaving Edinburgh, you'll pass by Stirling Castle before stopping at Kilmahog, where you can see Highland cattle. The journey continues across the wide-open landscapes of Rannoch Moor and the Black Mount, leading to Glencoe, one of Scotland's best-known glens, where there's time to take in its dramatic setting.Later in the day, there's a stop in Fort William, followed by a drive through the Great Glen towards Fort Augustus. Here, you'll have time to enjoy views of Loch Ness while walking along the shoreline. Depending on the option chosen, this may include a cruise on the loch and time to visit Urquhart Castle. You'll spend the afternoon exploring the area around Loch Ness and learning about its history before returning to Edinburgh.

Die Beschreibung der Tour entspricht nicht der tatsächlichen Tour. Dies sollte unbedingt verbessert werden. Per Mail bekam ich bereits die Antwort das es sich um einen Übersetzungsfehler handelt. Man fährt sehr weit entfernt am Sterling Castle vorbei. Keine Rinder gesehen, 2 kurze Stops in den Highlands für Fotos. Keine Zeit für einen Spaziergang am Loch Ness, keine Übersetzung im Bus, nur ein QR Code zum Scannen mit kurzer schlechter Tour-beschreibung. Tour dauert 12 Stunden fast nur im Bus.

Wir hatten den Ausflug gebucht, weil es eine digitale Übersetzung in Deutsch geben sollte. Die bestand aber nur aus 4 Seiten Beschreibung wie sie auch schon im Internet steht. Wir waren 12 Stunden nur im Bus unterwegs. Zu wenig Stopps an den Sehenswürdigkeiten.

The driver and guide, Brain, told many interesting historical stories about the Highlands and the places we visited with typical Scottish humor. In a short time, you see and learn an incredible amount about the Highlands, Loch Ness, and Urquhart Castle. You even got to pet Highland cattle. But don't expect anything leisurely; the schedule is very tight to see everything.

Man sitzt doch eher den ganzen Tag im Bus, als dass man die Highlands wirklich erlebt. Ja, die Landschaft ist sehr beeindruckend, aber bis auf Instagram-Spots war leider wenig dabei. Unser Guide war trotzdem lustig und gut.

My wife and I booked the Highlands and Loch Ness tour. There is so much more to this tour than advertised. The guide, Shafiq was very professional and fun with lots of local knowledge. The driver Adam was also excellent. We could not fault this tour, the whole day was wonderful. Great day out!

Der Fahrer (Gary) war sehr witzig gewesen und hatte uns sehr viel erklärt. Der Loch (Ness) selbst ist riesengroß. Und wir hatten supertolles Wetter, um die schottischen Highlands zu erkunden.
Ein rundum gelungener Tag. Und eine Tour, die ich bedenkenlos anderen weiterempfehlen kann.

Innan min resa fick jag i 3 veckors tid ringa varje dag till tui för att få mina biljetter. Det var trasigt format på biljetterna och fick aldrig mina biljetter förrän jag skrek och hotade med att avboka biljetterna. Väldigt service att bara för att jag inte bokat allt via tui. Och inte förrän jag skrek fick jag hjälp. Upplevelsen var 10 av 10 men om jag skulle boka igen skulle jag aldrig göra det via tui. Bara på plats

It was a wonderful day trip to see some incredible sights! Totally worth it, but beware its a long drive and you spend a lot of time on the bus. The driver was fun and knowledgeable. The scenery from the stops and along the way are breathtaking! Totally worth it!
