Highland Explorer

Explore the Scottish Highlands on a 12 day tour to experience the Scottish scenery of your dreams.

With deep lochs, high mountains, a dramatic west coast, beautiful beaches, historic castles, quaint Highland villages and a wee dram at a traditional whisky distillery there’s a little bit of everything on this tour through the magnificent Scottish Highlands.

With so many places to see in Scotland we’ll guide you on a scenic route from the fertile lowlands north of our capital city of Edinburgh, alongside our second largest but perhaps the most famous loch at Loch Ness to the Highlands of Ross and Cromarty and the beautiful Isle of Skye. Enjoy our local activities, wildlife, scenery and of course our Scottish hospitality.

We pride ourselves on a personal and quality service which offers a value for money tailored tour enabling a unique Scottish experience that suits you. If you are feeling inspired by this escape to Scotland feel free to get in touch here and we can start planning your adventure.
