Full description
Take in some of the most dramatic and stunning landscapes Scotland has to offer on an eco-certified tour from Inverness. Discover the Isle of Skye, including its capital Portree, Lealt Falls, and the Old Man of Storr. See Loch Ness from Invermoriston, Loch Carron, and Eilean Donan Castle. Meet your guide at Inverness Bus Station, where your group will board an air-conditioned coach. Head south out of the city. Then, follow the shores of Loch Ness to Invermoriston, where you will stop for a short break. Grab a coffee, take scenic photos, and try and spot Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster. Then, continue to Eilean Donan Castle, one of Scotland's most photographed castles, set on its own island at the head of Loch Duich. You will have time to visit the castle and learn about its history if you like (admission fees apply) or just admire the picturesque castle and its scenic surroundings. Next, journey to the Isle of Skye. Stop at Portree, a small colorful town fringed by cliffs and rolling hills. Take in these beautiful surroundings while enjoying lunch and the views of the boats in the harbor. Once your appetite has been sated, move on to tour the rest of the island. Head to the Old Man of Storr, an iconic rock formation. Next, take a walk at Lealt Falls to admire the beautiful waterfall and gorge. Finally, head back to Inverness via the panoramic Strome Viewpoint over Loch Carron.

Chris was our driver and he was amazing. He told us stories, helped us with the photos in the photo stops. He also added small family stories about his wife and his mom which make us to feel the human connection bringing a more enjoyable environment. He answered our questions and provided insightful informations. The weather was great and sunny which also helped with the photos. We got some light rain, but when we were back in the bus. Everything done under the time scheduled informed on the itinerary. Totally recommend! PS: The bagpipes songs on the way back from Skye, was so amazing that you feel like in a dream or a movie. Recommend enjoy in silence, together with the views.

Alex is a very knowledgeable tour guide. I also enjoyed the personal stories and experiences he shared. The tour itself was really great value for money compared to other tours that do the same route, and the transport is very comfortable. Definitely recommend!

everything was very well arranged, the next attractions whetted the appetite and even though with the current weather we could use all of them at our discretion. Coffee and toilet stops from time to time also helped. Our guide, Mr. Alex, tried to ensure that everything was described and the stories told during the ride were already building interest. before the next object. I am satisfied. I recommend it
