The Original Loch Ness Tour

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 is equipped with on-board sonar, comfortable seating inside and out as well as 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.

Do you offer a hotel pick-up service on this tour?

We know that you will want to start your tour straight away rather than spending valuable time travelling around hotels.

By offering a single centrally located departure point we can get you to Scotland’s best scenery as quickly as possible .

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.

I am travelling on a budget. Can I do the same trip by public transport?

Almost certainly not!

Our tours are designed to maximise your sightseeing opportunities so we frequently head off the main road and take routes where there is little or no public transport available.

Please also bear in mind that the tour commentary that you will enjoy is designed to bring Scotland’s history, nature and scenic beauty to life as you travel around.

Reading about your surroundings from a guide book will just not be the same!
