It was so beautiful, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and was able to make adjustments on the fly, we had the cutest B&B accommodations and we were well taken care of.

See Loch Ness, Eilean Donan Castle, Glenfinnan Viaduct and Glencoe on a scenic two-day Highlands tour from Edinburgh.

“It was a wonderful adventure in the Highlands. The tour guide Stuart was telling lots of interesting stories, we were able to stop and admire the views during the trip with longer stops in the most popular places like Eileen Donan Castle, Loch Ness or Glenfinnan Viaduct. The night in Fort William was a nice stop and I could admire the beautiful sunset just by the Lake Loch Linnhe. The tour guide was very friendly and I now I know lots of new things about Scotland .I would highly recommend this tour. THX”

4.2-Day Loch Ness, Inverness & Highlands Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 185 reviews · 2 days · from $157

Explore Glencoe, Loch Ness, Culloden, and the Cairngorms on a scenic two-day Highlands tour from Edinburgh with an Inverness stay.

“Very good two-day tour of the Highlands with interesting explanations and Scottish themed music from our guide Martin. The first day is a bit faster than the second but this is justified by the many stops planned which allow to see a lot in a short timeframe. We booked with the overnight stay and the room was provided by an exquisite B&B in Inverness (Ardross Glencairn). If you want to visit a bit more of Scotland and do not have too many days available, this trip is the perfect choice.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 59 reviews · from $241

See Glen Coe, Glenfinnan, Loch Ness, Culloden, Clava Cairns, and Pitlochry on a small-group Highlands tour from Edinburgh.

“James McGregor provided for all three of us our hoped for trip of a lifetime. His love of country and candid stories and explanations of the sites we visited were amazing! We came away emotional and well educated about the Highlands and the country of Scotland. He is a proud member of your organization and is, I suspect, one of your company's best marketing assets. Our group became a solid unit under his guidance on our Wee Red Bus. As mobility impaired Senior ladies we also realized we were traveling with a well raised gentleman. Our Bus was comfortable and very ease of access compatible. James added his support when…”

A two-day small-group trip from Edinburgh to Loch Lomond, Glencoe, Oban, and the Highlands, with castles, whisky, and ancient stones.

“Absolutely lovely trip! It was a very small group, just me, a couple, our incredible guide and driver (unfortunately I forget his name), and Hamish the lovely highland cow stuffed animal. Our guide shared many stories of scottish history related to every stop of the trip, answered any and all questions about the locations the history, and even was able to squeeze in an extra stop to see some highland cows because the group was small. I absolutely loved this tour and would 1000% recommendations and do it again! Loved it! 🐮Read more”

11.Hop-On Hop-Off 2-Day River Thames Sightseeing Pass

★★★★★★★★★★3.1 · 3 reviews · 2 days · from $57Best value

Ride London’s Thames for two days, hopping between 24 piers, top sights, and riverside districts with flexible boat travel for $57.

“Gut Englischkenntnisse sind zwingend erforderlich, da JEDER Mitarbeiter das Ticket zuerst ablehnt hat und ich auf Englisch erklären musste, dass es doch für Uber-Boat gilt. Grund: Es gibt ein anderes Bootsunternehmen, welches mit einer Art Sightseeing-Pass für Bootstouren wirbt (so einen Pass hat Uber-Boat überhaupt nicht). Habe locker 2 Stunden Diskussionen auf Englisch hinter mir, wobei ich bei einer Fahrt alleine dreimal Überzeugungsarbeit leisten musste. Ohne gutes Englisch wäre ich komplett verloren gewesen. Als solches ist das Ticket eine Empfehlung, wenn denn der Begriff "Sightseeing-Pass" durch "Uber-Boat-Ticket" (oder was auch immer) ersetzt werden würde.”
