Day 01
Edinburgh

Edinburgh - Highlands - Inverness

Hotel: B&B (Bed & Breakfast) or similar

Meal: B：Excluded L：Excluded D：Excluded

You leave Edinburgh and head north across the River Forth towards the Highlands. 

You travel through the beauty of Highland Perthshire and your driver-guide will look for the perfect place to stop this morning. Perhaps it will be Pitlochry, a quintessential Scottish town nestled among the hills. Or maybe you'll stop in at the gorgeous wee village of Dunkeld. We keep things flexible this morning and see what the group is interested in.

This wild heart of the Highlands teems with mountains, rivers, lochs, and wildlife hotspots and is a magnet for all nature lovers. We head to Aviemore, a bustling hub for all outdoors activities, where you can try local specialities before you travel to Loch Morlich, which is as unique as it is bonnie.  

Leave the majestic mountains and step back in time at Clava Cairns near Inverness. These ancient standing stones and ring cairns are as beautiful as they are mysterious and were made famous by Diana Gabaldon in the Outlander books. 

Then it's just a short drive to Inverness, where you're dropped off at your accommodation. 

The evening is free for you to explore the Capital of the Highlands.

Day 02
Stirling

Loch Ness - Fort William - Glencoe - Edinburgh

Meal: B：Excluded L：Excluded D：Excluded

After a leisurely breakfast, you're picked up from your accommodation and taken into the surrounding countryside. 

You travel to the mysterious Loch Ness where you have the chance to take a boat trip along the loch and visit dramatic Urquhart Castle.

Our journey continues south through the Great Glen past Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, towards Fort William. You stop for lunch along the way before arriving in Glencoe. One look and you'll understand why its one of the most famous natural landmarks in all of Scotland. There's also a tragic tale that's haunted this valley for over 300 years... perhaps your guide will tell you all about it.

The return journey continues over the wild and remote Rannoch Moor and into the Lowland scenery around Stirling, before finally reaching our starting point of Edinburgh. 

* The cruise is subject to availability.

* The Loch Ness boat cruise is weather dependent and may be cancelled without notice.

Special Notes

    • We regret we don't carry children under the age of 5 years old on our scheduled tours.
    • If your child is less that 1.35m tall, please let us know and we will provide a suitable booster seat.
    • Children under 18 need to be accompanied by an adult.
    • Luggage: You're restricted to 14kg (31lbs) of luggage per person. This should be one piece of luggage similar to an airline carry-on bag (approximately 55cm x 45cm x 25cm / 22in x 17in x 10in) plus one small bag for onboard personal items.
    • We accept bookings for up to 8 passengers from any one party. This is to retain the integrity of the tour and ensure that all of our customers have the best possible experience, without being overwhelmed by one larger dominant group.
    • Pack your waterproof clothing and walking shoes.
    • We may be unable to provide named accommodation at the time of booking, however this should be available 72 hours prior to departure. Please contact us at this point for the names of the accommodation related to your booking.
    • FAQs:
      Do you offer hotel pickups in the departure cities?
      - The UK and Ireland's historic city centres are full of narrow streets and winding roads. So, to speed up your departure, we only pick up from our central meeting points. What's more is leaving the city using the most direct route also reduces the carbon footprint of our tours.
      Is there parking close to the departure point?
      - We don't recommend bringing your car into the centre of our departure cities. It can be hard to find parking, and there are excellent public transportation services.
      When should I get to the departure point?
      - Arrive 15 minutes before your departure time. Due to waiting restrictions, we can't wait for you if you're late.
      What happens if I'm late or miss the tour?
      - If you're late for your tour, our cancellation policy applies. 100% charges are applicable, and you will not be entitled to a refund or alternative.
      Can Itineraries change?
      - Your tour will always follow the itinerary as closely as possible. Your driver-guide will keep you up to date on the road, and we'll try to get in touch about any large changes prior to your departure.
      Can I pre-book a specific seat?
      - Due to logistical reasons, we're unable to let you pre-book a seat on the bus. But our comfortable 16-seat mini-coaches have huge windows. So, you'll always get a good view.
      Are there toilets on the bus?
      - Unfortunately, we have no on-board toilet facilities, but you'll have regular comfort breaks.
      How do you cater for people with accessibility needs?
      - We aim to accommodate everyone.
      How much time do I get off the bus?
      - We want you to enjoy Britain and Ireland. And we believe the best way to do this is to get you off the mini-coach and out exploring. So, we give you plenty of time to take photos, go walking, and explore ancient ruins.
      Why do you exclude visitor attractions?
      - We exclude visitor attractions in your tour price because it lets you travel your way. It means you can pamper yourself with a luxury lunch or skip an attraction whenever you feel like it.
      Do we need to bring our own lunch?
      - You don't need to. We stop in small towns, villages, and rural eateries where you can choose whatever meal pleases both your taste buds and your budget.
      Should I tip the driver-guide?
      - Let's be honest, our driver-guides would never refuse a cheeky bonus. But it's up to you, and the amount is entirely at your discretion.
      What about travel insurance?
      - We advise you take out travel insurance.
      What is ABTOT?
      - You're protected by ABTOT when you chose to let us reserve your accommodation on a multi-day tour. This means you can claim back anything you've paid us if we become bankrupt.
  • The time we mentioned in the itinerary is for reference only. Please refer to your guide on tour for the actual arrangement. The visiting order and duration might be changed according to actual and practical situation for better service.
