What people love about Scottish Highlands Tours
- Hebrides, Skye & The Far West
The 8-day tour was very good. I had the pleasure of being guided by Neil and Fergie, who were both brilliant gentlemen with great stories and were very knowledgeable. Both busses were in excellent condition. I did have some complaints about some of the accommodation, and I was under the impression there was a full scottish breakfast every morning, which it turns out was not the case. I brought both these concerns up with Highland Experience face-to-face and my feedback was taken on board in a professional and appreciative manner. I would highly rate Highland Experience!
- Hebridean Escape 5-day Tour
The small size of the tour allowed the guide to be flexible and accommodate desires of the group, which was greatly appreciated. Fergus was friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, and a very nice way of telling stories that made them come alive. This made the tour overall even more enjoyable.
- Isle of Skye, Loch Ness & Inverness
Our Loch Ness Explorer tour with a photo op at Glencoe was a wonderful tour with breathtaking scenery. Our tour guide, Caitlin, made an already amazing tour even better. She is very knowledgeable about her country's history and so engaging and passionate, you will find yourself feeling like a very proud (honorary) fellow Scot!
What our customers ask about Scottish Highlands Tours & Trips
What's the Best Way to See Scotland's Amazing Landscapes Beyond the Cities?
You'll want to head out to Cairngorms National Park it's incredible with these ancient pine forests that just go on forever. Glencoe is another must-see where glaciers and volcanoes literally carved out this dramatic valley that'll take your breath away. The Isle of Skye's got these incredible Cuillin mountains and coastal cliffs that are just spectacular honestly. You can explore all this either with a guide book yourself a tour or just hop on Scotland's really good public transport network.
What Local Cultural Experiences Can You Actually Join In With?
There's nothing quite like experiencing real Gaelic culture at a traditional music and dance evening in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis. If you're into whisky you've got to check out the distilleries along Speyside's Malt Whisky Trail they're fascinating. Over on the Isle of Lewis you can learn about ancient Hebridean crafts at Arnol Blackhouse it's actually part of this great 6-day tour from Edinburgh that covers Outer Hebrides and Skye. You can join organized tours or explore these experiences on your own its really flexible.
How Do You Get Around the Highlands and When Do Things Run?
Coach tours are really convenient they run from Edinburgh and Inverness and cover all the main spots. If you want more freedom grab a car and drive the North Coast 500 it's amazing how much you can discover at your own pace. The trains are brilliant too especially the Jacobite Steam Train from Fort William to Mallaig it's actually featured in the Isle of Skye & Hebridean Hopper tour. The ferries connect you to all the islands and run pretty regularly especially in peak season when everything's buzzing.
Where Can You Find Amazing Places That Aren't Packed With Tourists?
You've got to check out Corrieshalloch Gorge near Ullapool the waterfalls there are incredible and hardly anyone knows about it. There's this amazing Iron Age structure called Carn Liath Broch right on the North Coast 500 route it's so well preserved. Smoo Cave near Durness is just magical this huge sea cave that's been forming for thousands of years. These spots are perfect if you want to experience Scotland's heritage without the crowds.
