The Highlands and the West Coast of Scotland
West Coast of Scotland: mountains and sea, castles, a distillery, villages and plenty of history!
A breathtaking tour that brings together the best of the Highlands and the West Coast of Scotland, with its beautiful sea lochs, charming villages and a fascinating history told by our historian guide. We do not visit Loch Ness on this route; instead, we spend our time discovering authentic Scottish coastal towns, medieval castles and baronial mansions, and admiring what many consider the most beautiful loch in the UK: Loch Lomond, in the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
This private tour can be arranged in different ways, depending on your group’s profile and preferences. For example, lunch can be in a mountain village or a fishing town — the perfect excuse to enjoy some delicious fresh fish! It is also possible to add a tasting tour at a whisky distillery or a visit inside a historic castle. For nature lovers, meanwhile, there are countless opportunities for walks through woodland or along spectacular rivers and lochs. And, of course, there is no shortage of stories to tell on this tour!
