Our all-day tour starts in Edinburgh, ancient city and capital of Scotland. From there we will proceed from the Lowlands to the Highlands, to the accompaniament of Scottish musicians and stories, thanks to our warm and friendly driver guide.
As we make our way further north through the Trossachs National Park, you will be regailed with local history and legends, as well as seeing the landscape change dramatically along the way and take photographs.
Passengers will have the option to visit and explore the ruins of Urquhart Castle before taking a guided cruise on the world famous Loch Ness or, alternatively, skip the castle and take the cruise from the shore at the Clansman Hotel. These are optional paid extras, and the hotel itself has a nature trail to explore and a cafe and restaurant.
Once everybody is back ashore, we will make our way southwards by way of the Cairngorms National Park before arriving at our final stop and comfort breakat Taste Perthshire, where passengers can stretch their legs and buy dinner if they so wish. They will lso have the opportunity to feed and get photographs of the Highland Cattle in the on-site stables.
From there it will take around an hour to get back to our starting point in Edinburgh.
