Do you have availability for this departure date for 5 travellers? As this is a family booking, would you be able to accommodate them in 2 rooms rather than 3, given the group includes 3 children? Please also confirm pricing for this group size and date.

The 18th October is still available which is great news! This tour does not offer a triple room, however if you could kindly forward us the ages of your children we may be able to assist, as if you have a child between 5-15 years of age they can share with 2 adults. In that case we would be able to request 2 rooms for you.

How many and which castles do you stop at for viewing?

On this tour, you'll stop at Eilean Donan Castle for photos, and depending on the day, may also visit Dunvegan Castle on Skye. You'll also pass a couple of other castles along the drive, but without full stops.

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?

  For the 18 October 2026 departure, the available arrangement for your family would be: 1 x family room + 1 x twin room. Unfortunately, due to accommodation availability on this departure, these rooms would be located at two different accommodation properties approximately a 4-minute walk from one another. Guests under the age of 18 are not permitted to stay in a hotel room without an adult.
