Asked on May 2nd, 2025We are planning to take a round trip through Scotland from Tuesday, July 29th, 2025, to Saturday, August 9th, 2025. We are three adults and one child (9 years old). We would like to stay in beautiful hotels. It is very important for us to include the Isle of Mull and to spend 2 to 3 days in Edinburgh.

This is a group tour and not a private trip. The tour operator is not able to convert it into a private trip. Could you please let me know your budget per person? Once I have that, I can check with other providers who may offer private or customized experiences.

Asked on April 3rd, 2024What are the activity requirements? I am 75 and have some mobility issues. How far would I need to be able to walk for this trip? Are there any extra charges for someone who is travelling solo?

This tour activity level is "Balanced" which means daily walking involves up to 1-3 miles / 1.6-4.8km and might involve some uneven surfaces, such as cobblestones, hills, and stairs. 1-3 hours standing and you must be able to get on and off the coach without assistance. No extra charges for a solo traveler, your price varies on the room type you wish to book.
