will this tour be operating in January 2026?

Unfortunately, this tour does not run in January as it will only run during the spring and summer months. We do have other options such as a 3-Day Skye Tour departing from Edinburgh if that would be of interest to you?

Will she be allowed on any of the Scotland tours? I know the tour says an age range, but is that a suggestion or strict policy?

All of our non-private tours require that all passengers are over the age of 3. If you wish to travel with children under the age of 3 I suggest that you book a private tour with us.

Does the bedroom have its own private bath, or is it a shared bathroom down the hall? Is the B&B room in a small hotel or a private house? What types of restaurant & food options are available for lunch & dinner?

All accommodation would have their own private bathrooms, so you wouldn't have to share with the other passengers. Regarding restaurant options, there is a wide variety available but I would suggest booking in advance, as it books out very quickly in the summer season. Some suggestions would include; The Royal hotel and caladh inn hotel, located in the over night stop in stornoway.

Nothing in October around 18th

Unfortunately, we do not run this tour in October.

Hi I am looking at the Hebridean Escape 3 Day Tour on 9 June. Is that in inches - if it is a big suitcase should be ok (given we are travelling from AUSTRALIA)? Also how much is the optional standing stones and Iron Age brooch visit?

Due to the size of our vehicles, on our multi-day tours, we guarantee to carry one piece of luggage per passenger of 55cm x 40cm x 20cm, with a maximum of 15 kg along with 1 x small handbag or daypack. Could you please tell us what the size and weight of their luggage is? – Hopefully, we will be able to store it on the bus. Dun Carloway Broch is free to visit.

Looking for a tour starting In Edinburgh June 14th or 15th. 5 day max min 3 days

We have three tour options departing 14th or 15th June: 3 Day Ultimate Skye Experience, 5 Day Highland Experience Scottish Choice, and 5 Day Orkney & The Far North. Each offers different experiences exploring Scotland's landscapes and history.

I was sold the moment James greeted us and started his tour with us. He has such a lovely personality and sold me on Scotland as the best place to visit in the world. It was the most wonderful tour ever. He was exceptional and even when I return to Scotland, i fear no one will never match up to his standards. I think his tour was unsurpassed. My grandson was even captivated by James stories and tourr stops which says a tremendous amount in James favor considering how difficult it is to keep a 16 year old captivated!Show more
