2.Loch Ness, Glencoe & Scottish Highlands Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 11,381 reviews · 12.5 hours · from $61

Review of the 12.5-hour Edinburgh tour to Loch Ness, Glencoe, Pitlochry, and the Highlands, with optional cruise, castle, or whisky stops.

“It was an absolutely fun, informative, and well-planned day trip. The long day was broken up by several great stops and scenic views. We truly appreciated our fantastic guide and driver, Fraser. Fraser is an amazing driver and story teller all at the same time. It was great how he incorporated Scottish music, history, and humor throughout the trip. He did a great job in referring to specific points of interest during the drive in conjunction to his narrative. The Highlands were beautiful and the cows were adorable. Unfortunately we didn’t see Nessie. This tour is highly recommended. Great way to experience and gain knowledge of the areas outside Edinburgh.”

The longer trip back was beautiful, picturesque, and packed with great historical information. I would have loved enough time to stop in at some of the smaller towns and sites, but I would book again. Thanks! Great value. book again. Thank”
