5 National Park Trips in the UK to Build a Day Around

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 182 reviews · 9 hours · from $88Our pick

From Llandudno, see Snowdonia, Pen-y-Pass, and UNESCO castles at a calm pace, with stories from local guides in a small minibus.

“Great mix of sights. Good amount of time for the castles, town sights. Good balance between bus and stops. Our guide Phil was super- really knowledgeable and interesting. Highly recommended. Only improvement would be stop time at the quarry is too long and not the best lunch location.”

From Inverness: Cairngorms National Park and Whisky Tour

2.Cairngorms National Park and Whisky Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 172 reviews · 9 hours · from $60

Cairngorms views, Carrbridge strolls, Loch Morlich walking time, and a guided Tomatin whisky tasting from Inverness.

“We took three Rabbies tours while in Scotland. All were great and this one the best. Rabbies offers excellent guides, well maintained buses and small group sizes for not much more than the big bus tours. The Cairngorms National Park and Whisky Tour was our favorite as the time spent outside the bus was excellent: short bus ride, get outside to see something, short bus ride and again you are outside seeing Scotland. Great active day for a bus trip.”

“Absolute gem of a place. Cruise on the Loch Katrine was an amazing experience. Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed the views of the mountains from aboard the cruise ship and our chat with the captain and his crew. The kids were even allowed to steer the ship! We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back next year!”
