As a local Edinburgh lad and after working as a driver guide leading tours all over Scotland for almost 20 years, it has always confused me why more visitors don't head east of Edinburgh.

This is a highly flexible tour with best fit provided for what most interests you and the group, walking, beaches, castles, food, wildlife and a fun day out without huge distances.

What are people saying about Edinburgh

Elizabeth_B, Apr 2026

Great morning

Koffe was a great guide! Enthusiastic and entertaining, he kept us organized and moving. Highly recommend for anyone - especially a family with kids - who wants to learn more about the castle go as early as you can muster - it gets crowded as the day goes on.

Loch Ness & Highlands Small-Group Tour from Edinburgh with Cruise

Brooklyn_R, Apr 2026

Loved this Tour!

We had a fantastic time with Stuart, our tour guide! He was so knowledgeable, personable, and kept us right on schedule to ensure that we were able to do everything on our bucket list today! The drive was smooth, and having only the 16 seater was perfect as me and my partner both at times find large tour buses to be overwhelming and hard to coordinate. We loved that with this small group, it was easy to manoeuvre around and avoid scenarios waiting for people to return back to the bus. Stuart was able to answer all of our questions, and brought his own knowledge and stories to the tour which made it so memorable and enjoyable. We loved having the Loch Ness cruise ticket included - this avoided having to coordinate purchasing a ticket, and let us join the queue right away. The day was long, but exactly what we were looking for, and Stuart made sure there were plenty of opportunities for snacks and bathroom breaks. We are so thrilled with the day, and would recommend to anyone!

Excellent choise !

The group was lucky to have Mark as ! He droves us through the important things just before we climb the Castle. His witty humour along with his ability to connect various moments in history with people relative to Edinburgh made the whole tour a very pleasnat one as well as educational ! Two thumbs up for Mark !

Scottish Highlands, Loch Ness and Glencoe Day Trip from Edinburgh

Aung_A, Apr 2026

Memorable Scotland Day Trip

Overall, I had a very good experience and really enjoyed the trip. Pros: The tour was well organised and took us to beautiful and suitable places. The journey was long (over 12 hours and more than 420 km), but it was worth it. Our driver, Alan, was very friendly, experienced, and provided useful explanations about the places and Scotland history. Cons: The lunch break was too short. If you choose to join a boat tour or any activity, there is almost no time left for lunch. I understand that this is a one-day trip, so time is limited. However, it would be better if there was slightly more time to explore and enjoy each stop.

Unforgettable Skye Tour with Mark!

Mark was an exceptional guide and driver for our Skye tour. His driving was incredibly steady, making me feel safe on even the narrowest Highland roads. He managed the daily itinerary perfectly, ensuring we saw everything without ever feeling rushed, while constantly checking in on our needs. Beyond his professionalism, Mark is hilarious and a master storyteller - I loved hearing the fascinating history behind each landmark. Back home in Chicago, I’ll truly miss the stunning beauty of Skye and the Highlands that Mark shared with us. Highly recommend!

Keith was our guide and he did an excellent job! Very funny, engaging, and informative - you can really tell he loves what he does and that he has a lot of passion for Scottish history. While you do spend a lot of time on the bus, the stops are frequent enough that it doesn’t feel like too much. Overall, the tour was well organized and it’s a great way to experience the Scottish countryside in an efficient way.

William_S, Mar 2026

Great experience and history lesson

Had a great time touring Edinburgh Castle. The history is interesting, but having a knowledgeable guide pointing out small details is a nice addition. If you’re heading to the Castle, I’d definitely recommend getting a booking with them, it made the experience well worth the time.

Harry Potter Tour & Edinburgh Castle Visit

Harry_W, Feb 2026

Wonderful and Magical Experience

Our guide Hazel was absolutely stunning. She was a load of information that made us feel like we were there with JK Rowling and the creation of Harry Potter. She showed us so many wonderful things that made me feel like I was a part of Harry Potter and how the movie was inspired by so many things in Edinburgh. She also played games throughout to make you think about parts of the movie and she even talked about history of Edinburgh and how it tied into the Harry Potter story. This was one of the best tours I have been on and I highly recommend it. Great job Hazel!!
