Itinerario
Mentre ci dirigiamo verso nord, la prima tappa della giornata è in questa incantevole località incastonata nel cuore del Perthshire: un posto meraviglioso per una sosta ristoratrice e per avere la possibilità di incontrare e dare da mangiare ai bovini delle Highlands!
Attraverso i Cairngorms e la natura selvaggia. I Cairngorms ospitano alcune delle vette più alte delle isole britanniche, tra cui Ben Macdui e Braeriach. Queste montagne, con i loro pendii accidentati e le creste spettacolari, offrono panorami mozzafiato. Amerai ammirare i paesaggi mentre continui a viaggiare verso nord.
Il momento clou della giornata è Loch Ness. Conosciuto in tutto il mondo per il leggendario mostro di Loch Ness, affettuosamente conosciuto come "Nessie". Questo profondo lago d'acqua dolce si estende per circa 23 miglia ed è circondato da uno scenario mozzafiato, ci fermiamo per esplorare i suoi misteri e godere della sua bellezza naturale. Hai la possibilità di goderti una crociera sul lago per qualche avvistamento di mostri combinato con una visita al Castello di Urquhart (£ 30,00 extra per adulto, solo contanti) In alternativa, potresti goderti la vista dalle rive del lago.
Divertiti ad arrampicarti tra le rovine del castello arroccato proprio sulle rive del Loch Ness. Il castello di Urquhart è una fortezza storica immersa in secoli di intrighi e offre viste panoramiche sull'iconico lago. L'ingresso è abbinato all'opzione crociera; la tua guida autista ti fornirà maggiori dettagli il giorno!
Glen Coe, una valle mozzafiato nelle Highlands scozzesi, è rinomata per la sua bellezza aspra, le vette imponenti e la tragica storia, che la rendono una destinazione imperdibile sia per gli amanti della natura che per gli appassionati di storia. Ascolta la storia dell'omicidio e del massacro dalla tua guida-autista prima di fermarti per tutti quei ricordi fotografici importanti.

Terry, our guide, was outstanding. An actress herself had a lot of sense when to put scottish music and when to share history. Pacing on this tour is excellent . Surprised that for a 13 hour tour tge bus did not have a toilet as this tour has children. Landscapes outstanding although it is a very long tour it stops every 2 hours for bathroom breaks. The bus is comfortable and I strongly recommend it fir a leasuúely experience of the Highlands
In summary, I advise against this trip for anyone who does not speak English well (or even perfectly), for anyone who gets carsick, and especially for those who wish to have an experience of discovering Scotland. We took the bus around 8 a.m. until almost 9 p.m. Thus, every 2 hours we stopped for 10-15 minutes at tourist trap rest areas to finally get some air and be able to go to the bathroom. The most annoying thing was above all that we only saw the interesting landscapes through the bus window... my little sister was very disappointed not to have been able to get close to the cows (in the photos on the site it looked like we could go see them???) unless catching a glimpse of them out of the corner of your eye means seeing them, I think it is a shame to put that on your profile!! Furthermore, my mother and I being carsick were therefore unable to enjoy it... And the straw that broke the camel's back, having refused the cruise that cost about twenty pounds, the bus did not let us see the castle... leaving us in a mediocre restaurant for an hour and a half with nothing around...
Good afternoon, I am sorry to hear that your experience of the Highlands was not to your satisfaction. We only advertise English language tours, but appreciate this can be difficult for those who are not fluent. On the first stop of this tour, we do have an area where you walk up close to the Highland Cows, but perhaps this was not communicated clearly enough. We can provide feedback to staff to ensure this is better communicated in future. We are sorry to hear you felt there was too much time on the vehicle. Our 1 day Loch Ness tour has a lot of distance to travel , which would naturally be difficult for people who suffer car sickness / motion-sickness. Regarding the optional cruise to Urquhart Castle, I am sorry to hear you did not like the stop if you choose not to go on the cruise. We try our best to make it clear that if you want to see the castle, the cruise is the option to go for. If we could show people the castle from the road we would - but simply the place where the castle is situated (down by the water, down a steep slope away from roads), cannot be seen from the roadside. Our guides and drivers try their very best to show you the best views where possible. Kind regards, Holly Highland Experience
Amazing tour. We saw everything we wanted to see and more! A bit stressfull with the short stop for hot drinks and use of toilets. But we would recommend everyone to do the same tour.
Hi there, It is great to hear you enjoyed your highlands trip with us! We are delighted to hear your tour allowed you to see everything you wanted to in the Highlands. Our drivers and guides do their absolute best to manage time for stops, but appreciate that in busy summertime, road traffic delays can mean some comfort stops feel quick at times. Thank you for choosing Highland Experience for your Scottish adventure. Holly Highland Experience
The entire route was very beautiful and Alan was an excellent guide. Everything working and no problems
Thank you for your positive feedback Giuseppe! We will be sure to let Alan know you enjoyed your tour. Thank you for choosing the Highland Experience, Holly
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour.. It was a long day of approximately 13 hours, but it was well worth it. The tour covered an amazing amount of territory and gave us the opportunity to see so much of the spectacular Scottish Highlands in a relatively short time. Our tour guide, Stephen B, kept us entertained and informed throughout the day, combining fascinating history with great stories and delivering them in his own uniquely humorous style. His knowledge and personality really added to the experience. If you have limited time in Scotland but want to see as much of the Highlands as possible, I would highly recommend this tour. Not only do you get to experience some truly breathtaking scenery, but you also gain a wonderful insight into the history, culture and stories that make this such an amazing region.
Its great to hear that you enjoyed your trip to the Highlands, Loch Ness & Glencoe with our wonderful guide Steven B. We know how much effort our guides put into creating memorable days out for our guests, and sharing their knowledge and stories with great skill. We will be sure to pass along your compliments to Steven B. Thank you for choosing Highland Experience Tours! Holly Highland Experience Tours
The tour was excellent. Our driver Stephen B was so knowledgeable. He told us all about the history of everything all along the way. Very nice man. Seeing the hairy coos was a treat. It was a very long trip, but I’m not sure you could do a trip and see the things that we saw in a shorter amount of time. But you’re going to be on there for 13 hours. And lunch is not included in this tour so bring snacks. But there are opportunities to buy things to eat.
Hi there Kala, Thank you for sharing your experience, it is lovely to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Steven B. We will be sure to pass along the compliments. We appreciate the understanding that to include so much in a single day, there can be a lot of time and distance to be travelled, but this allows you to see so much and we are glad you enjoyed the day out. And yes the Hairy Coos are just the best! Thank you for choosing Highland Experience Tours! Holly Highland Experience
THE GUIDE WAS EXCELLENT...BUT the trip was hijacked by loud out of control child with a inactive parent
Hi there Marsha, I am very sorry to hear that another guest's child interrupted what would have otherwise been a good day out. We do enact a minimum age requirement on our tours to try and mitigate this, but it is unfortunate to hear that an older child was not managed by their parent. Thank you for your understanding and the compliment to our guide, we really do try our best to create a nice and enjoyable atmosphere, but as I'm sure you understand there is only so much we can do in cases like this. We hope you enjoyed the landscapes and visits despite the situation, and want to thank you for choosing Highland Experience Tours. All the best, Holly Highland Experience Tours
Lauren and Andy were amazing guides, but it’s a long day so just be prepared. It’s great for people of all ages, but better for groups with older folks and children.
Hi there Cara, Thank you for sharing your feedback, it's great to hear you enjoyed our guides commentary. This particular tour is indeed our longest for day tour, with the most distance possible in one day to allow guests to have a whistle-stop tour of the highlands and the chance to see some of the most famous sights. We appreciate this can be a lot for some people, but are glad that overall you enjoyed your experience and our guide's excellent storytelling. Thank you for choosing Highland Experience Tours! Holly Highland Experience Tours
A lovely day with many experiences. Could have been a longer food stop.
Hi there, Glad to hear you enjoyed our 1 day tour to Loch Ness, Glen Coe and the Highlands.

Thank you for choosing Highland Experience Tours! Holly Highland Experience Tours
