    • Highland Experience ToursOperatorWritten July 2026

      The meeting point in Glasgow for this tour is at 10:00 am at 19 Killermont Street, in front of the RSNO building.

    • Highland Experience ToursOperatorWritten July 2026

      A guest house is similar to a B&B, giving you a taste of true 'Highland Hospitality! Our accommodation team works with a number of locally owned B&Bs and guest houses, which offer clean and comfortable rooms, with private bathroom and homecooked or extensive continental breakfasts.

      how seats are on the bus

    • Highland Experience ToursOperatorWritten July 2026

      Each day of your tour will last approximately 10-11 hours, but you won't be on the bus for the whole day. You will have stops every 1.5 hour or so, and you will stay approximately between 30 minutes and 1.5 hour at each stop.

    • Highland Experience ToursOperatorWritten July 2026

      This tour will run on a 35-seater bus.

    • R

      Rosemary

      TravelerWritten July 2026

      Are there any cities which we say in that will need restraint reservations? And if so what suggestions do you have for each city

    • Highland Experience ToursOperatorWritten July 2026

      During this tour, you will spend 1 night in Oban, 2 nights in Broadford (Isle of Skye) and 1 night in Inverness.

      Yes, making dinner reservations in advance is recommended, especially in the summer. You are scheduled to reach your overnight locations at around 06:30-7:00 pm each night, so I would suggest booking a restaurant for about 7:30.

      Here are a couple of dinner suggestions for each stop on our trip:

      Oban:
      The Waterfront Fishouse Restaurant – Excellent local seafood with views over the harbour.
      Cuan Mor – Relaxed Scottish pub and restaurant with a varied menu.

      Broadford (Isle of Skye):
      Harbour Restaurant – Fresh local seafood and Scottish dishes overlooking Broadford Bay.
      The Sprig – Contemporary Scottish cuisine with seasonal ingredients in an intimate setting.

      Inverness:
      The Mustard Seed – One of Inverness's most popular restaurants, serving modern Scottish and European dishes.
      River House Restaurant – Fantastic seafood overlooking the River Ness.
      Rocpool Restaurant – Stylish fine dining with creative modern Scottish cuisine, ideal for a special evening.
      McBain's by the River – Contemporary Scottish restaurant offering steaks, seafood and Highland favourites in a riverside setting.

    I am traveling by myself and would like to take this tour for September 2026. Preferably the beginning of September or it really doesn't matter. Please let me know when the 2026 tours are available. I can even travel in October 2026.

    Cheryl

    Asked on January 5th, 2025

    We are a group of 4 interested in this tour. We're retired and have flexibility in our dates (looking at September). Could we start in Glasgow and end in Edinburgh? And this is a month long trip for us, we will each have a suitcase of approx 23 kg (max weight, probably a bit less, medium size) and a small backpack each. Can we take this tour with our luggage?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Highland Experience ToursOperatorWritten January 2025

      Certainly! Our 5-day Scottish choice tour showcases the very best of Scotland and is available throughout September, with departures every Monday and Thursday. For your convenience, you can choose to depart from either our Edinburgh or Glasgow location, and you can select your preferred location before arrival. Regarding luggage, we guarantee that each passenger may carry one piece of luggage with dimensions of 55cm x 40cm x 20cm, weighing no more than 15 kg. This is similar to the hand luggage allowed on an aircraft. Alternatively, you may bring one larger suitcase with a maximum weight of 30 kg shared between two travellers. Due to limited space on our mini coaches, we cannot guarantee the transport of larger suitcases. In addition to your stored luggage, you are allowed one piece of carry-on luggage, typically a small backpack for your daily essentials. Unfortunately, we do not have storage space for larger items at our departure points. If you have larger suitcases or luggage, you can find left luggage offices at the train and bus stations in Edinburgh, Glasgow, or Inverness. Our departure point is just a short walk (5-10 minutes) from these locations.
