Itinerary
Our first stop for refreshments and a comfort break is Callander, where you will have a chance to grab a snack and stretch your legs. If you're lucky enough, you may have the chance to meet the Highland Cows (season dependant).
We make a brief stop in this scenic location to take in the views across Loch Tulla and Glen Orchy
The site of the 1692 massacre of the MacDonald Clan, Glencoe is one of Scotland’s most famous glens. Here you will hop off for a photo opportunity with the dramatic northern ridges known as the Three Sisters
Nearing the half way point on our tour we stop off in the Fort William area for lunch.
Another opportunity for photos as we stop on the outskirts of Spean Bridge at the Commando memorial. Unrivalled views down towards Fort William and the UK's highest mountain Ben Nevis. Depending on timings, this stop may be subject to change
A chance to grab some lunch and take part in an optional Loch Ness Boat cruise. For those not on the cruise, we have over an hour here which is plenty time to grab a coffee and have a wander around.
Stopping in the Victorian resort town of Pitlochry for a chance to stretch the legs and grab some light refreshments before the final leg of the journey home

Must do tour
Fantastic tour, Scott was our tour guide, very knowledgeable and humorous. Music selection on the bus was great. Was a long but we had plenty of stops along the way. This is definitely a must do on your trip to Edinburgh. We obeyed Scott’s (driver) No.1 rule and didn’t die 😂😂😂😂 Thanks from Kevin & Gaylene from New Zealand and Australia 🇦🇺
Great comprehensive tour of Scottish Highlands
Great tour! It’s a long day but well broken up with the stops and didn’t feel rushed. More stops than most other tours. Bring motion sickness medication if you aren’t great with windy roads. Lots of great stories and history of Scotland! Bring your own snacks and drinks and get something local if the lines are short. Breathtaking scenery and lots of references to Harry Potter, Game of thrones etc. Great way to get a taste of the Scottish Highlands and they didn’t disappoint!
5 Stars!
Wonderful tour of the Highlands! Our guide Scott was a true professional; he was kind, funny, and truly made this an experience to remember for my family! Highly recommend!
An terrific experience you must have!

Such an amazing experience
Such an amazing experience. The landscapes are unique. Leon stories and jokes are ad hoc to each moment.
