Il viaggio inizia a Callander, la "Porta delle Highlands", dove i visitatori possono esplorare i negozi locali e gustare un pasto prima di entrare nel Parco Nazionale di Loch Lomond e Trossachs, offrendo una vista mozzafiato su laghi, montagne e campagna lussureggiante.
Il viaggio continua attraverso Argyll e Bute nelle Highlands, mostrando Rannoch Moor e il Glencoe mozzafiato nella catena montuosa della Caledonia. Scopri l'antico supervulcano che formava le cime delle "Tre Sorelle", scopri il tragico Massacro di Glencoe e individua lo sfondo iconico della serie di Harry Potter.
Pranza a Fort William, situato alla base della catena dei Nevis. Esplora i resti delle vecchie caserme dell'esercito, fai una passeggiata lungo le rive del Loch Linnhe e assapora le delizie dei caffè locali prima di riprendere il viaggio.
Arrivo a Glenfinnan, il punto culminante del viaggio, con il viadotto Glenfinnan di Thomas Telford e il monumento giacobita. Esplora sentieri per panorami mozzafiato, avvista il treno a vapore giacobita* (operativo dal 5 maggio al 26 settembre 2025) e rivivi la magia dell'Hogwarts Express. Visita le rive del Loch Shiel e lo storico Glenfinnan Monument, che segna la rivolta giacobita di Bonnie Prince Charlie del 1745. *Si prega di notare che il treno a vapore giacobita è gestito in modo indipendente da West Coast Railways. Questo servizio opera stagionalmente, dal 5 maggio al 26 settembre 2025. Sebbene il nostro tour sia pianificato in modo da coincidere con l'orario del treno, non possiamo garantire che il treno circolerà il giorno del tour. Nei giorni in cui il treno a vapore giacobita non è in funzione, puoi ancora goderti la vista sul viadotto.
Nel pomeriggio, viaggio attraverso i Cairngorms, il più grande parco nazionale della Scozia, noto come "Blue Mountains". Rilassatevi e ammirate i paesaggi aspri e le antiche pinete della Caledonia.
L’ultima tappa del tour offre la possibilità di incontrare le Highland Cows, affettuosamente chiamate “Hairy Coos” in Scozia. Goditi un'esperienza indimenticabile interagendo con questi adorabili animali e catturando foto iconiche per completare il tuo viaggio.

It was a long day on the bus but worth seeing so much of Scottish countryside. We missed stopping at the most amazing view in Glencoe because there was no parking. Nothing the tour guides could do about that but they took us to a beautiful stop just down the highway. We also wish lunch was longer so we didn’t need to eat McD and rush thru eating. But we had a full 12 hr day of many sites to see. The tour guides were super knowledgeable and funny. They played music in between sites that were relative to the sites being seen and added a little more magic to the highland views.
I enjoyed visiting the sites which were a part of the itenerary. What I did not expect was the sheer number of hours spent in the coach, driving, likely totalling 7-8 hours. The seats were not comfortable..
We did the one day 13 hour tour to the highlands from Edinburgh, we had a brilliant day. Terri and Alan were a great team and made the day fun and interesting
This was a great way to see the Highlands and learn about the region. Our guide Rose was an expert in Scottish history and a very good storyteller. A few things to help you prepare for this, though: It is a long day with a meet up at 7am and not arriving back until after 7pm. The longest stretch between stops was two hours, but for the most part we stopped every 60-75 minutes or so. There are plenty of stops so you can grab food and use the bathroom, but they are quick. The average stop was about 30-40 minutes with just enough time to grab a pre-made sandwich or snack from a grocery store or small cafe (so don’t expect a lengthy stop to sit down at a restaurant or anything like that). Maybe consider packing some snacks on the bus. Overall, excellent experience and very worth it!
Our driver and tour guide Lee gave us a really excellent day, he was accompanied by colleague Terri. Perfectly timed stops for food, gifts and toilet breaks, with local advice given on food. Great balance between tour guide description of sites and history. Long day but with stops every 2hours the time went so we didn't notice. They made sure we saw the steam train over the viaduct and also had loads of time feeding the hairy Coos. Would really recommend.
We traveled with Rose and she was an amazing storyteller! One of only 140 nationally recognized in Scotland, and the honors are well-placed. Entertaining every step of the way. If you get her, ask her to tell her selkie story that she told to complete her storytelling certification! Truly lovely.
Excellent information shared made the day fun and exciting. Enough stops to get out and stretch our legs. Beautiful sites
Hi Kelly! Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the trip and appreciated all the beautiful sites. It's great that the stops allowed you to relax during the tour too. We hope to see you on another journey soon! Kind regards, Wayne Highland Experience Tours
I missed this tour, so can’t comment on the actual tour itself - but just want to commend the company on their professionalism. They did communicate with me, offered flexibility, and waited for a few minutes. When I was still unable to make it (stuck in traffic :( ), they offered me an alternative tour even though it was my fault I was unable to attend. The company left me with a great impression.
Fantastic day! Loved Rose’s great sense of humour and story telling. Amazing depth of knowledge on Scottish history.
Rose is a master driver and story teller, and thoughtfully organized the day to maximize our experience. This was a great way to experience the magic and beauty of Scotland!
