    Wonderful time viewing Scotland and learning about its history

    We traveled from Edinburgh to St. Andrews and then up into the Highlands for a 5 day tour. Our driver/tour guide extraordinaire Nick related all the wonderful history and made sure we saw all the most breath taking views in the land. The hotels picked by Eccose were perfect. Restaurant suggestions every night were the best. I can think of no better way to tour the country than relaxing and letting Nick do the work. We stayed on Loch Ness, Ft. William, and Oban for two nights. The trip to Mull and Iona were fantastic - but its hard to chose and nearly everything we saw was spectacular. Thanks Nick/Eccose team!

    Response from the operator: Hi Scott & Co!! Thanks for your lovely review, I'm delighted that you had a good time and that Nick looked after you so well. I will pass on your comments to him. Warmest & best regards, Alan

    Private 5 Day tour to the Highlands & Islands: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.

    How much does Private 5 Day tour to the Highlands & Islands cost?

    +

    Prices start at $8,066 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 Private 5 Day tour to the Highlands & Islands take?

    +

    Plan for about 120 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 Private 5 Day tour to the Highlands & Islands worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable nightlife in Edinburgh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private 5 Day tour to the Highlands & Islands?

    +

    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 Private 5 Day tour to the Highlands & Islands suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private 5 Day tour to the Highlands & Islands?

    +

    Around 0 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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private 5 Day tour to the Highlands & Islands 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.

    What is included in Private 5 Day tour to the Highlands & Islands?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Breakfast; Ferry crossings. Skye, Mull & Iona; Transport by air-conditioned VIP Class vehicles; and Services of Driver/Guide. Not included: Food and drinks, unless specified; and Client accommodation whilst on tour. This will be arranged on your behalf by the company d. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private 5 Day tour to the Highlands & Islands include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 162 listed pickup locations in and around Edinburgh. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private 5 Day tour to the Highlands & Islands offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private 5 Day tour to the Highlands & Islands?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Private 5 Day tour to the Highlands & Islands if the weather is bad?
