Explore Skye, Loch Ness, Glencoe, and the Highlands on a scenic 3-day tour from Edinburgh with B&B stays and an English guide.

“This trip was perfection. Jamie our expert guide and driver was such a pro and so fun. Incredibly knowledgeable, sharing tons of stories and fun facts along the way as well as pairing the sites and stories with related music. Days 1 and 2 are jaw dropping, GlenCoe, Inverness and Isle or Skye were out of this world. Day 3 was also good from a stories perspective, just missing Isle lf Skye views. Accomodations at the B&B Andross and Cairn were perfect, very clean, comfy beds, warm shower, good breakfast. Not to miss, the little bakery just around the corner of B&B, opens at 6 am for latte and fresh…”

8.Speyside Whisky Trail 3-Day Group Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 80 reviews · 3 days · from $721

Review of Rabbie’s 3-day Speyside whisky tour from Edinburgh, with five distillery visits, Highland scenery, B&B stays, and practical booking advice.

“Al kept us entertained, educated, well fed and rested - as well as booking us on some interesting distillery tours and tastings, photo opps, rest stops and short walks. My only suggestion is only to do with the distilleries: consider options of tastings and modified tours. It only takes one distillery tour to learn the process, the distilleries can focus on their differences during a seated lesson and tasting.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 20 reviews · from $556

Explore Conwy, Anglesey, Snowdonia, Harlech, Portmeirion, and Chester on a three-day small-group tour from Manchester.

“Would recommend this tour! A lot you get to see, comfortable Mercedes mini coach, good stay, (I’ve had) an excellent guide; enthusiastic, passionate about providing his guests a worthwhile tour, a tremendous amount of knowledge and a great story teller. Plenty you get to learn during your travels! A big advantage is you have your own time at the sites you’ll visit, the guide will give recommendations and will show you directions but you can make your own plan once your out of the mini coach. Significant time at every place. And back around 5:30-6:00 pm so enough time to have a stroll over the wonderful boulevard and to dine…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 17 reviews · 3 days · from $682

Explore Mull, Iona, Staffa, Glencoe, and Kilmartin Glen on a scenic 3-day small-group tour from Glasgow with B&B stays.

“Learning that the majority of day one and 3 of the trip was just relocation- and that stops were primarily comfort stops for bathroom breaks and a meal was very disappointing. Our driver was rude about other drivers and drove erratically but what made the trip a fail was that half of day 2 was canceled and we had to do our own planning to build that experience back in. We planned to see puffins and finals cave. The tour guide was cavalier about the cancellation and only after we rearranged our plans did he try to offer advice - which was not helpful. There should have been alternate plans…”
