“A very good last minute booking. The WHW was on our list of to dos and it did not disappoint. Inveroran and Kingshouse Hotels were high points as was Kip in the Kirk. Weather was kind (ish), and the irking/scenery legend. I would normally sort this sort of trip myself but in the days of Covid we wanted the security to cover us if there was some sort of lockdown issue etc.”

Scotland Explorer Tours

Highlights of Scotland Explorer Tour

  • Gawk in awe at the captivating landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, a spectacular region where traditional culture still lives strong.
  • Cruise along the crystalline waterways of Scotland’s pristine Highland lakes. Loch Lomond boasts stunning scenery, while Loch Ness lures tourists for its mythical lake-dwelling monster.
  • Admire the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Isle of Skye, a magnificent Inner Hebrides island famed for its mountainous interior and indented coastlines.
  • Hop aboard the Jacobite Steam Train for a leisurely locomotive adventure across the Scottish Highlands from Edinburgh to Glencoe.
  • Combine history, culture, nature and gastronomy into one unforgettable vacation. Many of our Scotland explorer tours cater to a smorgasbord of differing tastes.

Travel tips for Scotland Explorer Tour

  • Time outdoorsy adventure holiday in Scotland during the warmer months, as the country gets pretty frigid in winter.
  • Pack an umbrella because Scotland is a famously wet country with a sky-high average annual rainfall. This is not the place to go and work on your tan.
  • Book your accommodation and tickets well in advance for the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. This world-famous August event sees visitor numbers explode.
  • Do not fly home without trying hearty culinary highlights like haggis, Cullen skink, Scotch pie, neeps and tatties. The Highland whisky is equally divine.
