Day 1Depart Glasgow at 09.00 travel north towards the Highlands along the “bonnie, bonnie” banks of Loch Lomond. This is Scotland's largest loch and it takes its name from the mountain Ben Lomond on the eastern shore.
Crossing the ancient natural fault line that runs across Scotland you travel into the majestic Highlands where the scenery changes quickly and dramatically - the flat fertile plains of the Lowlands give way to shimmering lochs, rugged mountain tops and forest-filled glens. From Loch Lomond we travel north over the wild and remote Rannoch Moor into Glencoe. This haunting glen was the scene of a great massacre in 1692 where many of the Clan Macdonald were slaughtered. We stop in this imposing mountain pass so you can enjoy the spectacular views. From here we travel past Fort William and up to the Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge with great views over Ben Nevis.
On the "Road to the Isles" now through the splendour of the Five Sisters of Kintail, the mountains guarding the pass on the way to the Isle of Skye. We stop to visit the famous Eilean Donan Castle, used in the film "Highlander", set at the junction of 3 lochs as protection against Viking raiders. Crossing over the bridge to Skye, we head north to Portree. You are then dropped off at your accommodation in the early evening where you are free to go out and explore the town.
Day 2 is a very flexible day on Skye. There are many possibilities depending on the weather, and dynamics of the group. Your driver/ guide's knowledge will come to the fore in arranging the best day for everyone. For example: Travel north to explore the Trotternish peninsula with its stunning Quiraing mountain pass and some of Skye's extraordinary geological scenery. Kilt Rock, composed of basalt columns (reminiscent of the pleats in a kilt) with its waterfall cascading over the cliffs and down into the sea below.
There will be a short break for lunch before continuing to enjoy this most dramatic of islands. Heading in a westerly direction there is Dunvegan castle, the ancestral home of Clan Macleod, and possibly the opportunity to enjoy spectacular views at Neist Point, the furthest most west point on Skye. We return you to your accommodation in Portree in the early evening for you to enjoy a free night in Portree.
Day 3 You will be collected from your accommodation and travel south through the Cuillin Hills and back over to the mainland for stunning views over Loch Duich and the 5 Sisters of Kintail.
Onto Loch Ness for lunch and the possibility of spotting "Nessie". Heading south now through the Grampian mountains along Loch Laggan, famous now as "Monarch of the Glen Country" before passing Dalwhinnie, home to Scotland's highest whisky Distillery, and onwards past Blair Castle stopping for refreshments before heading back to Glasgow. Arriving at 1930 approx.

A huge thank you to our guide George. He made this great tour amazing. I travel the world at least once a year to lots of exotic locales and thanks to George this was the best tour experience I have ever had.
The small group made for great spontaneous stops to see things you would never see or even hear about on other tours.
I plan on bringing my kids in the near future just to do it again.
Best Trip.

Great guide who didn't make it seem like a packaged tour. Lots of flexibility and individuality on the trip. Good accomodation.

The knowledge that the tour guide/driver had was extroardinary. His name was Andrew and his knowledge of Scottish history, culture and people was phenominal. He was most entertaining.

Bus Driver and Guide "Pete" was excellent. Small mini bus was great because we were able to make a lot of stops and go to remote areas that a large coach would not be able to get to.

All the parts of this tour were very enjoyable -- it would be hard to pick a favorite. I really appreciated the skill of our driver, and the opportunity to just enjoy the gorgeous views without having to worry about the "how" of getting there.

Everything was great. The guide, Tony was just fantastic and his knowledge was incredible.

Tony our driver/host was excellent. He had a great many stories about Scotland, and about the places we were visiting. Great story teller and that made all the difference. He should be given an "employee of the month" award. He went out of his way to solve a battery problem for one of the guests, and did not mind stopping at extra places if there was consensus. The "customising" bit is great and something you should try ot build in more off.
What was also important was that he explained our restaurant choices at each destination!!
