We're an active, fit couple from Canada in our 60s looking for a tour (5-10 days) where we could combine culture (like a full visit of Stirling Castle) and a bit of hiking. Ideally we would start/finish in Edinburgh. We would not be happy with just being driven around. What would you recommend?

Our Isle of Skye Discovery is a fast paced tour. A packed itinerary, visiting multiple places each day with limited downtime, ideal if you want to maximize sightseeing. A moderate amount of walking is required during sightseeing, with some free time, offering a balance between activity and relaxation. As a general rule, you should be able to walk 2-kilometres without stopping. Another option to consider is our tour called Scotland's Far North which is a 10 day tour.

Where in Edinburgh does it leave from?

The Isle of Skye Discovery - 3 days departs from Edinburgh Bus Station Pick Up, Gate J and Gate K, inside Edinburgh Bus Station, St Andrew Square, Edinburgh, EH1 3DQ. Check-in closes at 08:15 (tour departs at 08:30)

I would like to know if it is confirmed that this tour will depart on December 26th, or if you are still waiting for the places to be filled.

It looks like this tour is sold out for the departure on 26 December 2024. I've contacted our local team to see if there are any cancellations. Hopefully, we can get you a spot on this lovely tour! We'll most likely hear back on Monday if it's available. Do any other departure dates work for you?

Can you please confirm if you have availability for the requested departure date? If yes, can you also advise if you can accommodate 3 passengers in a triple room?

The 03/08/24 departure is showing as sold out, however I will contact our local team as there maybe last minute cancellations. Are the clients dates flexible, I can see we maybe able to get them on 02/08/24 departure as an alternative?

  I would appreciate it if you could please let me know if it is possible to get a place on this tour, as I do not have any more days to do it.
- On The Go ToursOperator•Written December 2024
  Our local team have just responded to say that they do not have any availability on the 26th December, however they do have a spot on the 27th or 28th December. Could either of these dates work for you?

  Traveler•Written December 2024
  Thank you for your kind reply, however, my return flight leaves on December 29, so it is impossible for me to take a 3-day tour that starts on the 27th or 28th.
- On The Go ToursOperator•Written December 2024
  Sorry, we don't have any tour available in Scotland departing on 26th December. Please contact us if you have any questions.
