Itinerary idea in detail

Ask us if you would also like us to arrange your international flights at our preferred rates.

  • Upon arrival at Edinburgh Airport, your private driver will take you to your centrally located hotel. You have time to settle in and explore the city before you head out for the evening on your Ghosts & Ghouls tour to explore the hidden tunnels under the city and learn about the city's haunted past.

  • This morning, you'll be met by your private guide for your walking tour of Edinburgh's Old and New Towns. This is a great orientation to the city before your afternoon off to explore on your own. Explore Edinburgh Castle, or if you're feeling adventurous, hike up to Arthur's Seat to enjoy some of the city's best views.

  • Today, you're met by your private driver for a full-day tour of the castles and palaces that surround Edinburgh. You have the opportunity to learn about the history, walk around the ruins, and explore Rosslyn Chapel, which you may recognize from the Da Vinci Code.

  • This morning, meet your private driver and make your way to the beautiful town of Tarbet, next to Loch Lomond. You'll start your day with a water bus to the northern end of the loch to Inversnaid, and then you'll pick up your rental bikes for a self-guided cycle along the loch. This offers views right across the surrounding mountains. To top off this adventurous day, embark on a seaplane ride over the mountains before relaxing at your top-of-the-line lakeside accommodation.

  • Today, your private driver will take you to Glencoe, passing through the scenic Glen Etive. In the afternoon, embark on a two-hour guided hike to the intriguing 'Lost Valley'.

  • Your driver picks you up and brings you to the Isle of Skye, better known as the Misty Isle. Board a ferry in Mallaig, which takes you to Skye. Once you've checked into your hotel, head off for a full day of exploring, taking in the bizarre landscapes on the northern Trotternish Peninsula, including the Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock, and the Quiraing.

  • Today, you have another full day to see the best of the Isle of Skye. Begin your day fly-fishing with a local ghillie, immersing yourself in the outdoors. After, explore the Dunvegan Castle and its gardens, which have remained in the McLeod family for over 800 years. If the weather permits, hop on board a boat to see an abundance of seals, and end your day with a dram of whisky before returning to your hotel.

  • Inverness is your destination with your private driver today, stopping en route at the most photographed castle in Scotland, Eilean Donan. Then drive along the shore of the famous Loch Ness to Inverness, where you can settle into your hotel and have time to explore the city.

  • Delve into history today as you explore the Culloden Battlefield, Clava Cairns, and Cawdor Castle with your driver-guide. Then, you'll be driven to Cairngorms National Park to stay amid this scenic landscape.

  • Today you're taken to Rothiemurchus Estate to spend the day enjoying the great outdoors. Explore the estate with a countryside ranger in his Land Rover, with the opportunity to hand-feed deer and participate in other outdoor activities if you choose.

  • A whisky and chocolate tasting experience awaits you as you are brought to Dalwhinnie Distillery with your private driver, before making your way back to Edinburgh.

  • Your private driver will take you to Edinburgh Airport today for your onward flight.
