Loch Ness and the Highlands

What can I expect on this Signature Day Tour?

Travelling on a Signature one-day tour is a great way to discover the best of Scotland from your city centre base of Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness.

During your day of discovery we’ll introduce you to many aspects of our country: spectacular scenery, history, folklore, nature and much, much more.

Travel is provided by air-conditioned vehicle and each tour is led by an experienced driver/guide who will provide a live commentary in English.

There are stops planned at the key sights as well as for meals and comfort breaks.

Tell me more about the optional visit to Urquhart Castle and Loch Ness Cruise?

You can maximise your time at Loch Ness by purchasing the optional Urquhart Castle and Loch Ness Cruise combination ticket.

Visit hauntingly beautiful Urquhart Castle, once one of Scotland’s largest castles. The castle boasts a commanding presence overlooking the loch.

After time to explore the castle and admire the views take to the water for a cruise on Loch Ness. The cruise boat has onboard sonar, comfortable seating inside and out, and toilets. Refreshments are available for purchase, or you can bring packed food.

You can purchase this combination ticket from your driver/guide on the day of the tour, and payment is in cash only.

For operational reasons, it’s not possible to purchase the cruise or admission to Urquhart Castle separately. We’re sorry, but Historic Scotland Explorer passes can’t be used with this ticket.

Will there be a tour commentary?

Each tour is led by an experienced driver/guide who will provide an informative and entertaining commentary in English.

You’ll hear tales of the Clans, bloody battles and the famous characters that have shaped the history of Scotland. You will learn too of the landscape that surrounds you and of the nature that makes Scotland so special.

Be ready to have a laugh as well - you’re bound to be told some really corny jokes! 

Can I book seats on the coach?

The seating on the coach is not allocated so you are free to sit in any vacant seat.

We recommend that you and your party arrive at the boarding point together so that you can be seated in the same part of the coach.

Will there be stops for meals and are they included in the price of the tour?

Meals are not included in the tour price, but we will make stops where you can get refreshments and something to eat.

If you wish, you can bring a packed lunch or pick up lunch items at a previous stop.

Vegetarian food is widely available in Scotland.
