Ok but a bit disappointing
Ok but a bit disappointing. We did not see Harris as had to drive a long way up to Ullapool, as our expected ferry crossing from Skye didn’t happen. Recommendation of accommodation only given 10 days before departure, despite chasing this several times, and was almost double the cost of the published estimated costs. Itinerary a bit muddled. Guide and group lovely. Minibus comfortable.

An amazing experience!
My husband and I recently went on the 7 day tour, with Geoff as our guide. It was amazing! Geoff was wonderful – he was very knowledgeable, and very thoughtful of us and our needs. It was great that Geoff accompanied us at each stop to explain what we were seeing, instead of just dropping us off. He even gave us Scotland treats! We picked this tour due to the itinerary, but mostly because we wanted a small group tour that was active, with lots of time to explore and really experience the sites, not just take a picture and move on. It surpassed our expectations!

Beyond Happy 😃
My husband and I went on the 7 day tour, It was absolutely phenomenal. We’ve seen so many beautiful, beautiful places. Our tour guide, Geoff, was exceptional. He was professional, informed, and truly, one of the friendliest kindest people. I would highly recommend this Tours company. I believe we received wonderful value for our money.

Scotland’s Wild and Geoff are 10/10!
Geoff was absolutely a wonderful tour guide and driver! He was kind, thoughtful, and extremely knowledgeable. If our group needed advice on what our best day could be, Geoff was on it. He knew so much of the land and history behind it! He went out of his way to help us by lifting our bags, being patient when we took longer, and giving us plenty of bathroom breaks. We (my husband and I) are so thankful for Geoff and Scotland’s Wild for the experience of our lives! Please go with this company if you are looking for a personal connection and smaller group tour! And ask for Geoff! You won’t be sorry!

Scotland's Wild was wild!
This tour exceeded all my expectations. Rachel our guide was so knowledgeable and was a wonderful story teller. Loved listening to her playlist of Scottish music which made the drive even more meaningful. It was not a rushed tour. There were only 7 of us on the small bus tour which made for great comradery and conversation. The sites we visited were all on my must do list. We switched things up to make allowances for the weather so there was some flexibility. I had the time of my life and and at a good value for money cost.

7 Days - Isle of Skye, Hebrides Islands, Inverness from Edinburgh: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.
How much does 7 Days - Isle of Skye, Hebrides Islands, Inverness from Edinburgh cost?
+
Prices start at $1,361 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Edinburgh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 7 Days - Isle of Skye, Hebrides Islands, Inverness from Edinburgh take?
+
Plan for about 168 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Edinburgh is not rushed.
Is 7 Days - Isle of Skye, Hebrides Islands, Inverness from Edinburgh worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Edinburgh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 7 Days - Isle of Skye, Hebrides Islands, Inverness from Edinburgh?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 7 Days - Isle of Skye, Hebrides Islands, Inverness from Edinburgh suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 7 Days - Isle of Skye, Hebrides Islands, Inverness from Edinburgh?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Edinburgh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Edinburgh and add a light layer if any part of the 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 7 Days - Isle of Skye, Hebrides Islands, Inverness from Edinburgh start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Edinburgh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Edinburgh?
+
On Outty we rank every Edinburgh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Chocolatarium Chocolate Tour Experience in Edinburgh, The Mountebank Comedy Walk of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Old Town: Historical Guided Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Edinburgh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Edinburgh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
