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 £36 for adults and seniors, £26 for children 5-14 and infants, under 5, for free) includes both entrance tickets which cannot be purchased separately.
- For those who have the Explorer Pass already, the price will be £26 for adults and seniors, £20 for children 5-14 and infants, under 5, for free.
If you are not interested in visiting Urquhart Castle, we recommend the Loch Ness, Glencoe & The Highlands tour option from Edinburgh.
F Pitlochry
The route will continue through the Cairngorms National Park. Lake Laggan and Ardverikie Palace will be some of the places we will pass through until we reach Pitlochry. This town of Victorian houses will welcome us to recharge our batteries in one of its pubs, before our return to Edinburgh.
G Hanover Street (New Town, Edimburgo)
We will be back in Edinburgh after having explored some of the most beautiful landscapes that Scotland has to offer.The final stop will be in the new Town, close to the city center, in Hanover Street.

The itinerary in this trip needs to be modified. It is very rushed and you are basically just stopping to take pictures vs exploring. The first stop to Culloden battlefield is so rushed that you either use it as a restroom stop or quickly walk the whole site with barely any time to pose for a picture . The only stop with plenty of time and is totally worth it is Urquhart castle and the cruise if you don%u2019t purchase an extra ticket for this activity you will wait for about an hour in some boring souvenir shop for the rest of the group . You then go to Inverness you basically walk up the Main Street and back no real time to stop in any shop if you want to walk the entirety of the street and still have time for a restroom stop . Then get right back on the bus . Then on to to Pitlochry which has such a beautiful quaint Main Street but again you only have time to walk up the street and back and stop at the corner ice cream shop for a delicious whiskey ice cream and a restroom stop and back on the bus. I chose this trip last minute because all the small tours of 8-12 people were sold out . Not only that but my original booking was in English they cancelled it because they did not have sufficient numbers for it so I was added to the Spanish tour upon my request (luckily I speak Spanish or I would have missed the tour altogether). Our tour guide spoke very fast and appeared to get insulted if I slipped and asked a question in English and acted as if she did not understand a word as simple as the title of the location %u201Cbattlefield %u201C so make sure if you%u2019re in my position speak Spanish only. I will never take a tour that is not a small group again . This was a very large group and by the time everyone gets off the bus and then you are behind that many people during restroom stops your time at a location is basically over. If you do not want a rushed trip do not chose this one . I recommend taking a 2-3 day small group tour with plenty of time to enjoy all the sites .

I recently took your Loch Ness Tour, and I just have to say %u2014 our tour guide was absolutely incredible! He made the whole trip fun, engaging, and full of laughter. His knowledge, storytelling, and sense of humour made Scotland come alive for us. Please do me a favour %u2014 if there%u2019s ever a chance, give this man a raise or a bonus! He truly deserves it for the amazing experience he gave everyone on the bus. You can replace the tour guide, but not his vibe! %uD83D%uDE04 Thanks to your team for making our trip so memorable. I%u2019ll be recommending your tours to everyone!

We did the Highland - Urquhart Castle - Loch Ness - Tour and we had the most amazing tour guide Joan Manuel! He told us everything about Scotlands and UKs history. He was very friendly, passionate and funny! The experience is a full day so make sure to bring snacks and food bc some stops are very short. If you have the time, book a tour that is longer than one day, because the highlands are worth it.
