Overview

This full-day bus tour from Edinburgh lasts about 10 hours and covers key Scottish landmarks and experiences. The tour begins with a visit to Stirling, where participants can explore Stirling Castle for about 90 minutes (entrance not included) and see views of the Wallace Monument. Alternatively, visitors may walk through Stirling’s old town. Next, the tour travels to Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, stopping at the village of Luss. Here, there is around three hours of free time to walk along the loch shore, visit local shops, view historic cottages, or have lunch. During this stop, guests may optionally choose to take a 90-minute Loch Lomond circular cruise or visit a nearby distillery for whisky or gin tastings (both options booked separately on the day). On the return to Edinburgh, the group stops for about 30 minutes at The Kelpies and The Helix park to view the 30-metre-tall steel horse sculptures inspired by Scottish folklore. Transport is provided by an air-conditioned minivan with live commentary, and a professional driver-guide leads the tour. Food, drinks, entrance fees, and gratuities are not included.
