    Full description

    From Glasgow, travel north towards the Scottish highlands. Our first stop is for a cup of tea or coffee at a café on the shores of Loch Lomond. We then climb up into the Highlands over the unique, desolate landscape of Rannoch Moor and the Black Mount to Glencoe, site of the 1692 massacre of the MacDonald clan. After lunch in the Fort William area, we continue beneath Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis and into the Great Glen. At Loch Ness, take a 1-hour cruise on the loch or enjoy the beautiful views at its shores.

    Begin your return journey from Inverness, Capital of the Highlands. Before arriving back in Glasgow, we will cross the Grampian Mountains and the woodland scenery of Perthshire, including the Forest of Atholl.

    Fantastic trip. Our guide Andy was very knowledgeable and there was a good balance between information and giving you some quiet time on the journey. Plenty of stops for photo opportunities and a chance to freshen up. Only slight downside was the coach was very hot and cramped with 28 people, was very grateful for the stops in the cold air when they happened. I am overall extremely impressed with this trip and saw a great coverage of the Highlands.

    Great and full day of fun! Great guide and comfortable mini van! The one thing which I didn’t like is that we didn’t visit the castle due to covid, which I understand BUT I received a call from the same company asking me if I wanted the tour of the castle ?!!! When I asked the driver how come they get to go and we don’t … I didn’t get a proper answer … as you state the castle is closed due to covid but actually it is not, when the same tour operator from Edinburgh does that castle!!!! This is misleading and also disappointing, as let’s be honest the Loch Ness Cruise is not really worth the money!!
