1.From Edinburgh: 3-Day Isle of Skye and The Highlands Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 2,405 reviews · 3 days · from $244Our pick

3 days from Edinburgh to Skye and the Highlands with a guide-driver, Glenfinnan and Glencoe plus optional Loch Ness boat cruise.

“It's always hard to prepare for Scotland weather wise but my wife and I were extremely lucky and enjoyed every minute of our trip. Steven, our guide was absolutely delightful with his historical anecdotes, references and insights, delivered with a typical Scottish banter and a pinch of dark humour. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful bonnie Scotland. While it might not feel like there's adequate time in many places (as there's a lot to do in many places), this is definitely one of those trips where you learn most of everything so you can go on more targeted adventures of your choosing in the future. Thank you Hairy Coo.”

“Jack was a ginger legend ! Just completed the 3 day tour and everything was amazing, great stories and fact of the areas we drove through. The provided accommodation was wonderful and all the staff and people we met along the way were lovely. Be mindful that winter is the off season so lots of shops in town were closed and streets a little dead. So it’s a great time if you like it a little more quiet and a tour with less tourist at each of main attractions.”
