What people love about Scottish Highlands Tours
- Scottish Highlands From Edinburgh - 5 days
The tour leader was excellent. There is nothing to complain about and I would recommend the trip.
- Isle of Skye, Loch Ness & Inverness
Our Loch Ness Explorer tour with a photo op at Glencoe was a wonderful tour with breathtaking scenery. Our tour guide, Caitlin, made an already amazing tour even better. She is very knowledgeable about her country's history and so engaging and passionate, you will find yourself feeling like a very proud (honorary) fellow Scot!
- 5-Day Highland Explorer: Skye & Far North Small-Group Tour from Edinburgh
Andy D was such an excellent tour guide and driver, he was very knowledgeable and was able to cater to everyone's interests. He had back up plans to back up plans which is always needed with the weather. (Which was the case on the last day with high winds making it unsafe for the planned stops) There was an issue with one of my accommodations (the room flooded) and Andy and the Rabbie's team made sure that I was looked after and got me a partial refund! The tour provides highlights of the Highlands all within the comfort of the minibus. While some sights are your typical tourist spots, others were more off the beaten path and I really appreciated that. I highly recommend this tour and Rabbie's, I will definitely be booking another tour in the future with them.
What our customers ask about Scottish Highlands Tours & Trips
What's the Best Way to See Scotland's Amazing Landscapes Beyond the Cities?
You'll want to head out to Cairngorms National Park it's incredible with these ancient pine forests that just go on forever. Glencoe is another must-see where glaciers and volcanoes literally carved out this dramatic valley that'll take your breath away. The Isle of Skye's got these incredible Cuillin mountains and coastal cliffs that are just spectacular honestly. You can explore all this either with a guide book yourself a tour or just hop on Scotland's really good public transport network.
What Local Cultural Experiences Can You Actually Join In With?
There's nothing quite like experiencing real Gaelic culture at a traditional music and dance evening in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis. If you're into whisky you've got to check out the distilleries along Speyside's Malt Whisky Trail they're fascinating. Over on the Isle of Lewis you can learn about ancient Hebridean crafts at Arnol Blackhouse it's actually part of this great 6-day tour from Edinburgh that covers Outer Hebrides and Skye. You can join organized tours or explore these experiences on your own its really flexible.
How Do You Get Around the Highlands and When Do Things Run?
Coach tours are really convenient they run from Edinburgh and Inverness and cover all the main spots. If you want more freedom grab a car and drive the North Coast 500 it's amazing how much you can discover at your own pace. The trains are brilliant too especially the Jacobite Steam Train from Fort William to Mallaig it's actually featured in the Isle of Skye & Hebridean Hopper tour. The ferries connect you to all the islands and run pretty regularly especially in peak season when everything's buzzing.
Where Can You Find Amazing Places That Aren't Packed With Tourists?
You've got to check out Corrieshalloch Gorge near Ullapool the waterfalls there are incredible and hardly anyone knows about it. There's this amazing Iron Age structure called Carn Liath Broch right on the North Coast 500 route it's so well preserved. Smoo Cave near Durness is just magical this huge sea cave that's been forming for thousands of years. These spots are perfect if you want to experience Scotland's heritage without the crowds.
