“Our guide Mac was phenomenal! He shared so much information from history of the clans, nature related topics, movie set locations, and the best spots in each town! The 5 days flew by so fast, we wish we had more time. Our accommodations were great for the 1-2 nights we were at each spot. The highlands and Orkney Island were beautiful. During the long drives, we got to stop at some scenic spots that had very few people so it was very peaceful.”

From Edinburgh: Scottish Highlands & Isle of Skye 5-Day Tour

6.Scottish Highlands & Isle of Skye 5-Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 107 reviews · 106 hours · from $1,214

5 days from Edinburgh through Loch Lomond, Glen Coe, and Isle of Skye, with B&B stays, an English guide, Loch Ness, and optional castles.

“We absolutely loved our trip! Our tour guide Andy was fantastic - informative, entertaining, funny and kind! This was the best way to see the highlands as our guide really knew where to go for the best views. The bus was comfortable and we appreciated how stress free it was with us not needing to navigate the streets of the highlands ourselves. We got to get out of the bus a ton and explore different areas. We had a lovely group of around 10 people. We were also very happy with the accommodations, which also included breakfast. Definitely recommend this trip!”

“This was an incredible way to see Scotland. Our guide, Callum, was amazing. We saw many historic and scenic sites over the five days. It would not have been possible to organize such a trip on one's own and take in this many sites, I appreciate the insight and knowledge of the tour guide. The trip was well planned and moved along in a very efficient manner. The evening stopping points were all very interesting. The tour group was 16 people and at the end of five days I was sorry to part with this group. Our guide not only provided the narrative of the sites we were seeing, he…”

5-day small-group Highlands and Isle of Skye tour from Edinburgh with Loch Ness, dramatic passes, and Eilean Donan Castle.

“Our tour guide and driver, Kevin, was outstanding with information and character. He delivered tales of the local landscapes with detail and kept everyone interested. All the stops he made were calculated with the weather, time permitted and toilet breaks in mind as well as the scenery. Any questions he was asked which included the local plants, animals and history he was able to answer with the deepest of information and a smile. Since the bus was smaller than most, we were able to traverse smaller roads. This led us to see more of the highland we wanted to see. Both of the bed and breakfasts we stayed at were…”

“Our five day tour of Orkney couldn’t have been better. Our guide, Stefan went above and beyond his responsibilities. He was the most wonderful tour guide I’ve ever experienced. He was so knowledgeable so informative, so generous with his information and his goodwill. he added discretionary stops to our bus ride to show us beautiful and unusual sites.

“We hebben een waanzinnig mooie reis gehad. Het land is fantastisch en Paul heeft ons vakkundig naar mooie plekjes gebracht. Persoonlijk vonden we de eilanden Mull, Iona en Staffa het indrukwekkendst. Wat een mooie natuur en een hele leuke stop bij een wolweverij. De rest van de reis is ook fantastisch. Paul heeft de liefhebbers op ontbijt getrakteerd met een vers gevangen oester. Volgens de kenners waren de oesters toppertjes! De accommodaties zijn goed en schoon en liggen op goede locaties. Echt een aanrader deze trip!”
