A brilliantly curated tour! I saw so much and so glad! It needs more time in Isle of Sky and the isle of Mull while beautiful is not worth the time it takes to get there and back (1hr ferry, 1 hr bus, 20 min ferry x2) it was the biggest let down of the whole trip and would be better replaced with isle of sky exploring, walking tour or free time in addition to a longer driving tour.
There is never enough time at each stop to see and do everything possible. Be sure to understand that all the stops cost you more money and if you choose not to do the offered event, you will be on your own to figure out where to go for your meal.
Great itinerary. I missed seeing Eilean Donan castle due to road closures but we did get to see it on a drive by. Good balance with castles, abbeys, and the beauty of Mother Nature. I was so glad to be able to see the beauty of the Scottish Highlands. I love rocks and geological formations and , our tour guide, was so good at sharing all about the area. He is such a wealth of information.
