Highlights

Edinburgh - Pitlochry - Inverness - Loch Ness - Plockton\n\nSouth Queensferry - Our first stop will take place only 5kms from the city of Edinburgh where three engineering masterpieces await us. The bridges of the Forth are a place worth visiting. We can see an icon of Scotland and World Heritage by UNESCO - the Forth Bridge.\n\nDunkeld - Just an hour’s journey we stop at the Hermit Forest to have the first contact with the nature of the Highlands. This beautiful forest will allow us to walk and breathe fresh air on a path that runs along the Braan River and that will lead us to discover a beautiful waterfall. Attentive, the salmon jump!\n\nBlair Athol Distillery - This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful distilleries in Scotland. Since 1798, the Blair Athol Distillery has distilled a Single Malt with an unparalleled wealth and character.\n\nWe will take the opportunity to begin to know the culture that surrounds the Highlands, and what better way to do it than knowing the elaboration of the famous Scotch whiskey.\n\nDuring the visit we will enter the distillery where the guide will explain in Spanish the meaning that Whiskey has in the culture of this country, we will know the origins of the distilleries, we will learn about its preparation. Of course, they will have the opportunity to taste a variety of exquisite whiskeys if they wish.\n\nPitlochry - In a few minutes, we reach the charming little town of Pitlochry. A perfect example of Victorian architecture. In Pitlochry we will have time to regain strength, make a technical stop and walk through its streets if you prefer.\n\nInverness - After another hour and 30 minutes of traveling north, we reach the capital of the Highlands - the most renowned Inverness. Game of Thrones was inspired by this city to locate Winterfell on the map of Westeros, and Outlander traverses in its first scenes in Scotland the Inverness of 300 years ago.\n\nIn Inverness we have free time to explore the city and find a place to eat. Visit the hill of the old castle and see the panoramic view from there offered by the city lying along the Ness River. The center of Inverness offers various establishments that serve food for all tastes and budgets.\n\nLoch Ness - Who has never heard of Loch Ness and his monster? Let us give you the opportunity to find it. Just 25 minutes from the center of Inverness, we made the first afternoon visit in what is probably one of the most emblematic places of the tour - Loch Ness.\n\nAlong its 37km, we will make three stops on its banks and stop to visit one of the most beautiful castles in Scotland and the most beautiful point of this lake - Urquhart Castle. We review certain anecdotes of the lake and talk about Nessie, the pet that inhabits these waters. Don’t miss out!\n\nPlockton - Plockton is known for its beauty and charm during the high season. It is a small fishing town of only 350 inhabitants that sits on the shores of the Carron marine lake. Already in the direction of the west coast and approaching the Isle of Skye, we make a couple of secret stops to enjoy the magical places that the route offers.\n\nThe arrival in Plockton is scheduled in the middle of the afternoon around 7:00, where we will stay in a hotel both nights of the trip. Breakfast and other amenities such as WiFi, television and private ensuite bathroom are fully included.

Incredible - Incredible experience, the truth is I had too many expectations for this trip because I did a lot of research before doing it, and in fact it absolutely met and exceeded all my expectations. Too beautiful places, an incredible group and above all our guide Adrián who gave us all his knowledge about the places we visited, in addition to his beautiful energy ✨

The best of inland Scotland in three days, its landscapes and its history. - The tour is worth it for many reasons, most of the places are covered comfortably and with detailed and enjoyable explanations. Our guide was Adrián, an excellent professional, who made the trip an unforgettable experience. Not only for the quantity and quality of the data he provided, but also for his kindness.

Great Experience! - Best experience!!! Excellent organization and the best guide… María! He told us the stories of each place in a way that kept me interested. He encouraged us even though we were tired. He has great positive energy. All the places we visited were beautiful, every step was worth it. The hotel where we stayed was very comfortable and clean. The location ugh… overlooking Eilean Donan Castle The tours are highly recommended. They made me fall in love with the Isle of Skye 🤩 💚

A great tour - The guide, María, was brilliant, she knew how to energize the activity at all times, she anticipated everyone's needs, in the restaurants she helped by explaining each dish. The itinerary was super beautiful and animated by the stories he told us. He made it very enjoyable and we enjoyed it a lot. The place where we slept both nights was great, my window overlooked a beautiful lake. But one thing, Maria, on the way up to William Wallace's tower, don't run so much! 😂

to repeat - Six friends have gone, and although we had already informed ourselves, the experience must be lived. Thank the guide María for the love, empathy and professionalism that she applies to her work, it is obvious that she enjoys it, she advises you at all times during visits to the places, food and help with the language, a delight. The unique landscapes, the homely, cozy and clean hotel, even as a gift, we had the surprise that during the visit to the lighthouse, we saw a whale sighting. spectacular

To repeat with them without any doubt. - Super recommended tour. We were lucky to have María as a guide and we really give her a ten in everything. We had a great time thanks to the good vibes that she created from minute 1. The organization of the times, the music throughout the tour appropriate to the stories she told us, being aware of all the details and of all of us during the three days, in addition to how outstanding it is and how funny it is. Upon returning to Edinburgh, he gave us several pieces of advice, which we followed to the letter, and they were very useful for us to finish our trip through Ecocia. We have no complaints about anything. The hotel is charming and in a spectacular location next to Eilean Donan Castle, which allows you to take a walk at night and see how beautifully it is illuminated. If you are looking for a three-day tour of the Highlands, and not just posing for a photo and running to the bus, don't think twice and decide on Highland Scotland, you won't regret it. Kisses to María from Raquel and Toni.

Skye Tour - Scotland sells itself but if you have the opportunity, hire this company to take a tour, don't hesitate. We did a one day tour with Adrian, and another 3 day tour with María What an amazing guide, very professional and attentive. Adrián knows everything about Scotland, you immerse yourself fully in Scottish culture with him. With María we did a 3-day tour... she made it super enjoyable telling past and current stories about Scotland, playing very good music and with that constant joy that she has, apart from her full dedication to the entire group. Thank you a thousand! Looking forward to returning to the highlands!!
