UK · EDINBURGH TOURS & EXPERIENCES
Edinburgh works on two levels — the ridge from the Castle to Holyrood, and the vaults and closes underneath it. These 15 cover both, plus the Highland day trips that leave from the city, each priced and timed.
Edinburgh to Loch Ness and Glencoe in one long day, with optional castle cruise or whisky tasting.
“The day trip was spectacular. The guide, Vix, demonstrated knowledge, professionalism and a great attitude! Appreciate this professional... Success, Vix!!!”
Edinburgh to Loch Ness and Glencoe in one long, story-filled day, with optional boat cruise, whisky distillery, or Urquhart Castle add-ons.
“Very nice day with a clement weather. The guide-driver Craig was really nice and had care of us. We saw really good panoramas and the price worth it, especially for all the km we had. Recommended!”
A full-day Highlands trip from Edinburgh to Glenfinnan Viaduct, Loch Shiel, Glencoe and Fort William, with seasonal Jacobite train views.
“Scott was an incredible tour ride and driver. Couldn’t recommend enough!”
A 12-hour coach tour from Edinburgh to Glen Coe and Loch Ness, with Ben Nevis views, Fort Augustus time, and optional cruise.
“Regarding the petty reviews left by the Italian and French people, we were on the same bus. Super noisy and had a smug face the whole time we were on board. So don’t consider their review as truthful since, for the price of the trip, they expected to be treated as royalties. Now to the trip itself. We left 10-15 mins later than the designated time, since we waited for the Italians to appear (bare in mind they complained). The trip itself was amazing, we saw a lot of scenery views and enjoyed every moment of Tom, the driver, that had extreme in-depth knowledge of every bit of Scotlands spots.…”
Edinburgh to Loch Ness and Glencoe in 12.5 hours. Cairngorms views, Hairy Coos, Urquhart Castle, Wallace history, and monster spotting.
“We are a family of four, including a 11 years old. We had a nice and smooth day. Our guide, Alan, has been gentle and professional, full of interesting information about Scotland history. We have visited, either in person or just passing by by bus, all the sites we meant to visit having now an idea of where to come back to have a deeper look. Driving was safe, we enjoyed the landscape. We will definitely be happy to join another tour next time we visit Scotland.”
Three days from Edinburgh through Skye, Glencoe, Loch Ness and more, with a driver-guide, big photo stops, and Inverness stay guidance.
“Our guide Ryan was amazing!!! So wroth the money, if I get the opportunity to visit again I would book again 😊 Thank you HAIRY COO!!!!!”
A 1.5-hour Three Bridges cruise from South Queensferry with UNESCO Forth Bridge views, Inchcolm Abbey stop, and wildlife like seals and puffins.
“We upgraded to visit the Island giving us 90 minutes on the Island catching the next tour boat back. Due to the Queen Mary 2 Cruise ship being in The Forth, it meant we had the island to ourselves as competing tours were unable to run. Had a glimpse at Dolphin’s and saw quite a lot of seals.”
A 12-hour Scottish Highlands day trip from Edinburgh to Loch Ness and Glen Coe, with major photo stops, great guide storytelling, and optional cruise.
“The trip was spectacular, the guide very friendly and polite and attentive”
Edinburgh to Glenfinnan, Glencoe and the Highlands. Harry Potter bridge views, Glencoe drama, Loch Shiel scenery, photo stops.
“It was absolutely incredible, best 54 euros of my life!!”
Spanish-led day trip from Edinburgh to Loch Ness, Glencoe, Inverness, and Pitlochry, with a cruise, photos, and Highlands views.
“Amazing tour! Our guide, Fin, was so knowledgeable and helpful. He made sure we were on time throughout the whole day, provided interesting information and facts and kept us engaged the whole time. Amazing time in that area of Scotland, it is a long day and lots or driving but it is worth it.”
A guided Edinburgh day trip to Holy Island and Alnwick Castle, with Lindisfarne mead, poison gardens, and Downton and Harry Potter film spots.
“Thoroughly enjoyed this day trip in the English countryside (in case you missed it like we did, this isn't a Highlands tour) 😊 Adam was a generous, knowledgeable and entertaining guide. The drive to Alnwick castle is so beautiful- rolling hillsides, lots of sheep and wonderful vistas! Definitely a trip that relies on good weather due to the stop at Lindisfarne where the sights are all uncovered and outside. But the castle would be great regardless, definitely worth doing both the castle and gardens!”
12-hour small-group Highlands tour from Edinburgh with Loch Ness cruise, Glencoe and Ben Nevis views, plus scenic stops and stories.
“The driver Stephan was amazing and he gave us a very beautiful experience. Thank you Stephan!”

“Graeme was our guide, and he was fantastic! He was well organized, very knowledgeable, and very funny. It felt like we had the perfect amount of time in each location. This was my THIRD Timberbush Tour in a week and I wouldnt change a thing about any of them!”
Scottish Highlands day trip from Edinburgh: Stirling Castle history, 30-foot Kelpies, Loch Lomond scenery and optional boat cruise, hairy coos.
“We were so lucky to have Louise as our driver-guide. Such an amazing and funny woman. She made the experience unique with her explanations, the driving was perfect and all the stops very precise. All the places we visited (Kelpies, Hairy Coo, Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond) were of extraordinary beauty. The true Scottish experience. We highly recommend this tour”
9-hour small group tour from Edinburgh to Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond, and the Kelpies, with guided history and a lochside walk.
