    This travel i a little doubt. Because i saw the price is £40/adult and child is more cheaper. But i book £88/ 1 adult and 1 child.. when i book for 3 days skye highland.. i tought children is 12 years and above. So i book 2 adult. But after.. i saw the child is 16years and above. My child is have'nt 16 years. But.. because of the travel is cancelled (3 days tour skye, Loch Nesa and the Highligh) I had stress because i had no plan anymore in Edinburgh than i already spend 4 days. That why i really needed the travel go to any place is not in Edinburgh City. How much is the travel i never think it. For the price of this travel is not important... just my asking. How about my full return of the cancellation? Did tour radar will return to my bank account without any notice? Once again.... the tour Guide Mr Hermes is nice and friendly. By the way... I can't travel with him in 3 days tour.... :((

  • W

    Wayne

    Asked on April 28th, 2025

    Do we have time to tour the inside of Eilean Donan Castle or are we just driving by on this tour? And if I have more than 1 piece of luggage is there room or storage for it?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Timberbush ToursOperatorWritten April 2025

      Eilean Donan castle is visited in depth on this tour. On our extended tours you are allowed to bring a medium-sized suitcase, which, in general, is between 63 and 67 centimetres in height (25 to 26 inches). As long as your luggage isn't significantly bigger than these measurements, it should be fine to use for your trip. This is necessary to ensure that luggage for all the passengers travelling on the tour can be stored safely into the hold. In addition to the medium sized suitcase, you can bring a small piece of hand luggage onto the coach itself as a carry-on allowance.

      Wayne

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      Thank you for replying so quickly. This is not the extended tour, just the two day tour, so I wanted to make sure the castle tour was included before I booked and we weren't just taking pictures from the outside. Can you recommend anyone who would store luggage for me?

    • Timberbush ToursOperatorWritten April 2025

      The Eilean Donan Castle tickets are not included in the price of the tour as entrance is optional, however, you will have approximately 1 hour 15 minutes to visit the inside of the castle if you wish. If you have more luggage than we can allow on our tour, you can store your bags at Waverley Train Station or Edinburgh Bus Station in their left luggage facilities, or you can store your surplus bags with Unbaggaged.
