River Teith
Edinburgh to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park
We leave Edinburgh and travel through the gentle Lowlands past Stirling Castle. As we cross the ancient geological fault line, the flat plains give way to the majestic Highlands, with rugged peaks and forest-filled glens that define the Trossachs National Park.
Journey through the Trossachs National Park and the Highlands
We pause for a break by a shimmering loch or in a charming Highland village, taking in the fresh air and beautiful surroundings, before the next leg of our journey. Then, we continue through Queen Elizabeth Forest Park and the bristling terrain of the Trossachs before reaching the remote expanse of Rannoch Moor.
Glencoe and journey to the ferry to the Isle of Mull
Next, it's Glencoe, one of our most iconic natural landmarks. Famous for its dramatic, rugged slopes, this stunning area has appeared in numerous films and is rich in history and folklore. You'll have time for photo stops here before lunch in the local area. Then, it's onwards for a unique ferry crossing on Corran Ferry that is pulled across the loch by a steel cable. After a short ferry ride across Loch Linnhe, you meander through the impressive mountains of Morvern to Lochaline, where we take another ferry to the Hebridean island of Mull.
Free evening in Tobermory, Isle of Mull
We'll then arrive in Tobermory, the island's vibrant capital, for a three-night stay. With its brightly coloured houses, Tobermory, meaning ‘Well of Mary,' is often described as one of the most picturesque harbour towns in Scotland.

Staffa
Journey through Mull
Today, we're embarking on an exciting island-hopping adventure, visiting two stunning islands: Iona and Staffa, while exploring the scenic beauty of Mull along the way.
Journey to Fionport and a ferry to Iona
We travel along Mull's rugged coastline, passing tranquil coves, rocky outcrops, and sandy beaches. Mull is a haven for nature lovers, offering opportunities to spot seals, otters, and eagles, so keep your eyes peeled. As we wind through lush pastures, dense woodlands, and peat bogs, we reach Fionnport, where we board a ferry to Iona, the birthplace of Celtic Christianity.
Trip to Iona and optional trip to Staffa
Discover the serene beauty of Iona, a sacred island where history and nature meet. You've got free time here to walk in the footsteps of St Columba at the ancient Iona Abbey, or admire the magnificent, ancient Celtic crosses and headstones. Later, take an optional boat trip to Staffa, where you may spot puffins and other wildlife. This is home to the awe-inspiring Fingal's Cave that is one of the most remarkable geological sites in the world. The island, made of striking hexagonal columns, was formed millions of years ago by volcanic eruptions, though local legend claims it was built by a giant.
Passengers will be able to land on the Isle of Staffa after 10th June.
Ferry back to Mull and journey to Tobermory, free evening
After a day spent exploring these remarkable islands, we hop back on a ferry to Mull and journey through scenic glens, past craggy hills, and shimmering lochs to Tobermory. You'll have free time this evening—will you enjoy a leisurely dinner and stroll along the picturesque harbor, or perhaps seek out a traditional Scottish music session in one of the local pubs? The choice is yours.

The UK and Ireland's historic city centres are full of narrow streets and winding roads. So, to speed up your departure, we only pick up from our central meeting points. What's more is leaving the city using the most direct route also reduces the carbon footprint of our tours.
We don't recommend bringing your car into the centre of our departure cities. It can be hard to find parking, and there are excellent public transportation services.
Arrive 15 minutes before your departure time. Due to waiting restrictions, we can't wait for you if you're late.
Entry requirements vary depending on your nationality, personal circumstances, and the country or countries you will travel to and transit through. It is your responsibility to ensure you have all relevant documentation required for your selected itinerary and that you meet all formal entry requirements before travelling.
You can find up-to-date and reliable information on the official tourism website of the counties you’re visiting, or from their embassy or consulate.

Your tour will always follow the itinerary as closely as possible. Your driver-guide will keep you up to date on the road, and we'll try to get in touch about any large changes prior to your departure.
It's simple: you book, you go. This means we'll never cancel your tour because of a minimum numbers policy.
Due to logistical reasons, we're unable to let you pre-book a seat on the bus. But our comfortable 16-seat mini-coaches have huge windows. So, you'll always get a good view.
We like to keep our coaches small and nimble. This means we have no on-board toilet facilities, but you frequently stop in local towns and villages for comfort breaks.
We regret we don't carry children under the age of five on our scheduled tours. Also, some of our tours that focus on whisky experiences are suitable for travellers aged 18+.
You can ask us about the tours we recommend for younger children. And if your child is less than 1.35m tall, you should let us know, so we can provide them with a suitable booster seat.
We want you to enjoy every country you visit with us. And we believe the best way to do this is to get you off the mini-coach and out exploring. So, we give you plenty of time to take photos, go walking, and explore ancient ruins.
We exclude visitor attractions in your tour price because it lets you travel your way. It means you can pamper yourself with a luxury lunch or skip an attraction whenever you feel like it.
You don't need to. We stop in small towns, villages, and rural eateries where you can choose whatever meal pleases both your taste buds and your budget.
Let's be honest, our driver-guides would never refuse a cheeky bonus. But it's up to you, and the amount is entirely at your discretion.
We advise you take out travel insurance.
You're protected by ABTOT when you chose to let us reserve your accommodation on a multi-day tour. This means you can claim back anything you've paid us if we become bankrupt. Read our terms and conditions for more information.
