Overview

This 5-day Highland Explorer and Isle of Skye small-group tour starts in Edinburgh and travels through the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye in a 16-seat Mercedes mini-coach. The tour visits the villages of Dunkeld and Lochinver and natural areas including Cairngorms National Park, Loch Ness, and Glencoe. On the Isle of Skye, the route includes the Quiraing mountain pass, offering wide views of the rural landscape. The group stays two nights in Ullapool, a fishing village, and two nights in Portree, a harbour town on Skye. Accommodation is in either a 3-star bed and breakfast or a 3-star hotel, with breakfast included each morning. A driver-guide leads the group, which is limited to 16 passengers to maintain a small-group setting. Transport is provided by a top-quality mini-coach with comfortable seating. Hotel pickup and drop-off, meals other than breakfast, gratuities, and admission fees are not included. Tickets for Eilean Donan Castle are reserved, but entrance fees must be purchased during the tour. Luggage is limited to 20 kilograms, with size restrictions similar to airline carry-on allowances. B&Bs may be located on town outskirts, requiring a 20-30 minute walk to local amenities. Guests with mobility issues should notify in advance to arrange suitable rooms.
