1-Day Castles, West Highlands and Loch Lomond Tour from Edinburgh

Once in lifetime experience

Magnificent views of highlands in addition a superb tour guide Emily. We enjoyed thr trip a lot. The lunch was awesome. I recommend keeping some medicine in the bus so that in emergency it can be given.

1 day castles day trip

Such a fantastic day! Charlie was the best tour guide and made the whole experience so much better, she was so passionate and animated in the way she told stories and it made the tour all the more engaging!

Great time

Super awesome tour ! Saw lots and enjoyed every second of it! Awesome and engaging tour guide Charlie. Cannot recommend enough

Just amazing

Charlie has been the best tour guide ever. Funny jokes and good Scottish music made the trip fly by in seconds. Absolutely recommended.

Amazing day-tour

The tour was amazing and Charlie even more! Great little day trip for a day outside the city. The views were fantast but Charlie made the whole drive better!

Fantastic Day in the West Highlands

Charlie was fantastic. The tour was great and I cannot wait to return to Scotland and the highlands. Our guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Great day exploring Scotland

Noah was our tour guide and he was great! We really liked the small group. We would have preferred to have more time to explore Inveraray Castle but we ran out of time because none of the places to eat opened until noon and later. We lost time waiting for that because we got there about 1130am. If you don’t pay to go inside Linlithgow Palace, there really isn’t any shops in the town while you wait for everyone else. You can go to the grocery store or Greggs for a quick bite. But, the palace grounds are gorgeous!

Excellent tour of highlands

Dusty was excellent. Very knowledgeable and interesting. Told us so many historical stories based on the places we visited.

Amazing Trip, Great Story Telling

Our guide Dusty was very good at telling stories. What he told us about the history of the various locations was absolutely riveting.

Great Day Tour in Edinburgh

This was a great trip and Dusty was a fantastic guide! He infused the history around us with entertaining stories which made for an overall unforgettable experience. Would highly recommend!

EXCELLENT

Me and my friends really enjoyed this trip, especially due to the hospitality and great information. Overall we all really enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend it.

Haidi

Really nice guide and made the trip memorable! She took us around everywhere and made sure to inform us about all relevant history and facts.

Great tour!

The tour with Louise was great! We loved the stories and views! We liked linlithgow palace and Loch Lomond! Everything was great!

Best tour ever!

Louise is the best tour guide and it was an amazing day! We thoroughly enjoyed this day! Thank you for this experience here in Scotland!

5 star experience!

Louise was a fabulous tour guide! We enjoyed getting out of the city for a bit and seeing beautiful towns and scenery and learning a lot about Scottish history.

We loved Paul and Jenny

We went with Paul and Jenny, and it was FABULOUS! Thank yall so much for a lovely experience!! Definitely worth it, and we loved our guides!!

It was a tour to remember forever

I had a grand day. The weather was beautiful, that always helps. Noah brought us to the most beautiful places. Had great stories to tell along the way. The bus had air-conditioning which was very welcome. Noah had a nice Scottish playlist for in between stories. Just the chairs were a bit small for me. Or maybe I was too big for the chairs, the seatbelt thing was poking in my behind constantly. There was one downside. Doune castle was closed so we would go to Linlithgow. But we arrived 3 minutes after they stopped selling tickets. Traffic was just really busy. I was disappointed but Noah tackled this problem and took us to the Kelpies instead. It was a tour to remember forever

Great tour, Doune castle was closed, but we saw a couple extra things in return.

The tour was really enjoyable overall. Sadly, Doune castle was closed to visitors for the whole week because they were filming something in there, but they took us to a couple extra places in return. Noah, the guide and driver, was super nice and entertaining while relaying the history of Scotland and the different things and places we saw along the way. Really enjoyed the trip and would recommend it to anyone interested in getting to know the castles and a brief history lesson about them.

Family loved this tour

We went with our family (kids age 6 and 9) and everyone had a great time. Noah, our guide, was great. He shared interesting stories and facts as we drove, and the Scottish artists playlist was on point. We had beautiful weather and I felt like we had just the right amount of time at each location. Would definitely recommend this as a way to see the beauty of Scotland!

Excellent

The tour was informative and I enjoyed every bit of it. Noah was a tremendous and witty guide and deserves a raise. He ensured that our travel was comfortable and worth every penny.

Good experience

Highland and steamed train are beautiful what I ever seen. The guide is very kind and explained well for sightseeing The weather is sunny and windy For the first time I saw hair cow in there

Chill and interesting, also not that expensive as I was expecting

I really enjoy the nice trip with Noah the guide, driver, dj, historian... Comfy coach, the lunch was not the best but thanks very much for sharing the culture and some traditions from your beautiful country

Scenic day trip from Edinburgh.

Beautiful scenery and interesting history! Great views of the Highlands and a couple of castle visits. Thank you Martin for a great day.

Good tour

Informative and pleasant guide. Great view of the highlands. Disapponting that Doune Castle castle was closed, but all in all a great tour (much thanks to the guide).

Would recommend!!

Great experience. Our tour guide/driver Martin did an amazing job, with very interesting stories. Had a very good time!!

Castle day tour

I had a great time on my day tour of castles, our guide was very insightful. He was considerate of our time restraints and tried his best to fit the most he could with the time we had.

Time and Money Well Spent

The trip was long but worth it! I had a great time with Connor. He was amazing and very informative. The drive was beautiful, and I had a blast!

Scotland vacation

Connor was amazing. He has so much knowledge to share. I felt so at home. I will be able to go home and tell everyone about Scotland and why they should come.

Lake and mountains country.

Great trio with Louise and Chris! Thanks! Would do it again. And again and again and again. Nice views, great castles and many lakes.

Well told

Good guides.loved how they tell the stories. Good one if you want to see much in a short time. I recommend it for sure. They know also good restaurants and cafes

Awesome

It was a wonderful day....Paul and Laura did a great job...taught us lots of history. Told great jokes and Paul is an absolute awesome driver.

It was an amazing day

Ryan was our driver and did great talking about a bunch of the history of Scotland had an outstanding time. Ryan did an amazing job!

Great way to see (a little of) what Scotland has to offer!

This tour is a such a great way to see all the things Scotland is well known for, Lochs, Glens and Castles. We liked how each stop covered a different time period in the history of Scotland. Noah was very friendly, professional and clearly knew what he was talking about. He was also really funny which helped everyone keep in high spirits despite the poor weather.

A Pleasant and Informative Day

Beautiful landscape and very pleasant ride. Doune Castle and Loch Loman are worth seeing. Noah was a fine tour guide and driver. If staying in Glasgow or Edinburgh for most of your visit, I recommend getting out of town and doing a day trip.

Noah slayed!

Noah was our guide and driver did an amazing job! Was very funny and had some very interesting story and facts to share with us! Even with the sad weather it was a great trip.

Fabulous day trip!

The tour was beautiful and Ryan was a wonderful guide! Kept us entertained with stories throughout. I wish we'd had a few more minutes in Luss, as we felt a bit rushed here, but everything else was spectacular. Stopping at the Falkirk Wheel on the way back to Edinburgh was a nice unexpected bonus. We were left with a new appreciation of Scotland and its history, and would absolutely recommend this tour to everyone.

Mostly great

Great trip to the kelpies! Stirling castle was wonderful despite the rain . I was quite disappointed with the Loch Lomond stop. Other than a tiny view of a tiny bay from the park, there were no views of the lake. Wonder why then there was even a stop there…seemed pointless. Other than that I really enjoyed the tour and Connor’s narrative was fun and informative

Fantastic Private Tour with Highland Experience Tours!

We booked a private tour with Highland Experience Tours for 8 friends from Switzerland, and it was incredible! Our driver, Nestor, was exceptional—knowledgeable, humorous, and a safe driver. He brought Scotland to life with fascinating stories and fitting music. The tour included Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond, and Glengoyne Distillery, all perfectly organized. We highly recommend Highland Experience Tours for an unforgettable experience!

Sunny days

Great trip to interesting and beautiful spots, Lochs, little village full of history and castles, with entertaining commentary by Rich our driver

Great! Loved every stop and Rich was a great guide and story teller! Enough stops for food and toilet breaks included. 🤍

Great Tour!

Great tour! Our guide, Rich, was very positive and funny! Very scenic views. Our favourite stop was Doune castle. I rated it down one star because I didn't enjoy the Kelpies stop. It didn't seem to fit with the other natural or historical stops.

Fun & Informative!

Very well organised, great charisma from the tour guide, I really appreciated his knowledge on all the places we went & his Scottish themed playlist was a good touch!

Day trip to Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park with optional Stirling castle from Edinburgh

The views were fantastic and visiting Stirling Castle 🏰 was amazing. Our tour/driver Noah was friendly, knowledgeable and excellent. would definitely recommend tour with this company.
