Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, Inverness & The Highlands
Travel to Inverness, discover Loch Ness and its legendary monster and fall in love with the picturesque ruins of Urquhart castle, one of Scotland’s most iconic attractions.
A 190 High Street, The Royal Mile
We will leave from our meeting point: 190 High Street (in the heart of the Royal Mile)
B Bankfoot
From Edinburgh, we will stop on the way at the beautiful spot of Bankfoot, a place where we can rest after this first part of the journey, have a hot drink and take advantage of the surroundings to see the typical hairy cows of the Highlands, the Hairy Coos.
C Culloden Battlefield
We visit one of the most iconic places in Scottish history, the scene of the last battle fought on British soil, which would change Scottish society and end its clan system.
D Inverness
We will follow the course of the River Ness until we reach the capital of the Highlands, Inverness, known for its Saint Andrews Cathedral and its castle. There you will have the opportunity to have a snack and stroll around the the city centre.
E Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle
Our next destination will be Loch Ness where we will have the opportunity to join the cruise on the lake and visit the ruins of Urquhart Castle.
This castle was an ancient fortress that experienced some of Scotland’s great conflicts, from the Picts to the Jacobite Wars and the English invasion. It is undoubtedly a place with a lot of history, but also with a lot of magic.
- The ticket to the cruise trip and the entrance to Urquhart Castle is not included in the tour price. The price of the activities (a single price of £33.5 for adults and seniors, £31 for children 5-14 and infants, under 5, for free) includes both entrance tickets which cannot be purchased separately.

Best English Guided Highland Tour I have done. Best decision I took to choose Lochness.com and not any other company.
Krista
There were 8 of us that took this tour and we had a fantastic experience!! Amber our English guide was the best, so very friendly and personable. The other tour guides and the bus driver were friendly and fantastic as well. So very thankful we chose this company to take our tour with! Keep up the great work guys and gals! Thank you for a truly wonderful experience! Until next time!

The website we booked the tour on was in English. But, when the busses pulled up to start the tour, the tour company name on the busses was in Spanish and probably 70-80% of the people on the busses were Spanish speaking. We had to wear headphones and connect to a whisper device to hear the tour spoken in English. That would have been nice to know when booking. Our tour guide was extremely nice and helpful, but she was unsure on some of the facts she was conveying during the tour and paused a lot when speaking.

The tour was wonderful! Even though we needed to switch to a Spanish tour, the driver and guide (Alex) was super accommodating! We can understand a little Spanish, and whenever we had difficulties, he was always open to explaining in English (we speak Portuguese, by the way). Alex (the driver) has the most wonderful stories about Scotland and made the trip smooth, even with 13 hours of travel. Highly recommend a trip with him! He made my trip special!
