About 2 to 4 hours on foot most days, on cobbled city streets, castle ramps, woodland paths and rough hill paths that are often wet. The Old Man of Storr path (about 3.8 km return with a steady climb) and the steps down to Neist Point lighthouse (about 2 to 4 km return depending on how far you walk, with a steep pull back up) are the hardest parts, and both are optional: there are viewpoints near the road at each. You can sit any walk out and wait in the van or a cafe.

Arrive in Edinburgh

Edinburgh Airport to your hotel in the centre, then an evening walk up Calton Hill

  • Welcome dinner
  • Nuit : Edinburgh
  • Environ 30 min de route

Fly into Edinburgh Airport (EDI), about 13 km west of the city, and a driver meets you in arrivals for the ride to our hotel in the centre, within walking distance of the Royal Mile. Land by about 2 pm if you can; coming a day early is easy to arrange and gives you a spare day to get over the flight.

Après-midi

In the late afternoon your See Sight Tours guide takes the group on a gentle first walk: through Princes Street Gardens below the castle rock, along the Georgian streets of the New Town and up Calton Hill, where the unfinished National Monument and the Nelson Monument look over the whole city, from the castle to Arthur's Seat and the Firth of Forth. The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995, and this view explains why.

Soir

Then we sit down together for a welcome dinner, with a short briefing on the week: what to pack for Skye, how the days are paced and how the group travels.

Compris

  • Private transfer from Edinburgh Airport (EDI)
  • First walk with your guide: Princes Street Gardens, the New Town and Calton Hill
  • Welcome dinner and briefing

Option plus facile : Ride a taxi up to Calton Hill with your guide and walk only the level top.

Temps libre : Free until the late-afternoon walk

Activité : About an hour and a half on foot, with a short steep climb up Calton Hill.

Faune et météo : Scottish weather changes by the hour, so the guide may swap the order of the Skye stops to catch clearer spells, and the Loch Ness and Loch Lomond boats or the Armadale ferry can be cancelled in high wind (we then leave Skye by the bridge, which adds about 1.5 to 2 hours of driving and shortens or drops the Glenfinnan stop). Days are long in May to July, with light until about 10 pm in the north. Red deer are often seen on Rannoch Moor and in Glencoe, and seals and sea eagles are possible around Skye. Midges are worst in still, damp weather from June to September.

Questions

What does the Scotland trip price include?

Seven nights in central hotels, 7 breakfasts, 5 lunches and 2 dinners, a private minivan and driver, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, the Edinburgh airport transfer and the Glasgow drop, the Skye ferry, the Loch Ness and Loch Lomond boats, and every visit in the day plan, including Edinburgh and Stirling castles, Culloden, Urquhart, Eilean Donan and two distillery tours. Drinks, tips and optional extras are not included.

How big is the group?

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests in a minivan, never a full-size coach. That size fits Skye's single-track roads and the small car parks at Neist Point and the Quiraing, one table at lunch and the smaller distillery tours.

Who leads the trip, and who drives?

A See Sight Tours guide is with the group for the whole trip, from the first walk in Edinburgh to the drop in Glasgow, and a professional driver is at the wheel so the guide can focus on you. A local guide leads the Edinburgh Old Town walk, and distillery guides run the tours.

How fit do I need to be for this Scotland tour?

Moderate fitness is enough. Most days have 2 to 4 hours on foot on cobbles and rough, wet hill paths. The Old Man of Storr climb and the steps at Neist Point are the hardest parts, and both are optional, with viewpoints near the road. You can sit any walk out.

I'm travelling solo. Do I pay a single supplement?

Only if you want a room of your own, which is from CAD 1,150 more and shown before you book. If you share, you pay the base price with no supplement. Tell us when you request to book and we will say whether a same-gender roommate match is possible on your date; if it is not, you choose before paying anything.

When is the best time to visit Scotland and the Isle of Skye?

May, June and September are the best balance: long days, open sights and fewer crowds than July and August. The trip runs April to October, when the Loch Lomond boats and longer opening hours apply. Rain is possible in any month, and midges are out on still days from June to September.

How does booking work?

Choose a date and send a request to book. We confirm your place within 24 hours, and no payment is taken when you send the request. Prices are per person sharing a room, taxes included: the small group starts from CAD 6,485, and private from CAD 11,675.

Can we travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. Besides the small group, the trip runs as a private trip for your party only, on a date you choose, with your own guide and vehicle. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we will quote the same hotels and transfers.

Do I need a visa or an ETA to visit Scotland?

Canadian and US passport holders need no visa for a tourist visit, but they do need a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), applied for online before you fly for a small fee. Bring a passport valid for your whole stay. Other nationalities should check the UK rules before booking; we will help.

How do you avoid the crowds on the Isle of Skye?

By timing and by sleeping on the island. Two nights in central Portree let us reach the Old Man of Storr at about 8:20, before the day tours that arrive mid-morning, and visit Neist Point in the late afternoon. A minivan also stops in places coaches cannot.

Does the trip end in Glasgow or Edinburgh?

It starts in Edinburgh and ends in Glasgow, at Glasgow Airport at about 4 pm or the city centre at about 4:30 pm on day 8. Book a flight after about 7 pm, or add a night in Glasgow. Edinburgh is about an hour away by train if you want to fly home from there.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Your guide changes the order of the day to catch drier spells and swaps exposed walks for shorter ones. If wind cancels the Armadale ferry, we leave Skye by the bridge, which adds about 1.5 to 2 hours of driving, so the Glenfinnan stop is shortened or dropped. The Loch Ness and Loch Lomond boats can be replaced by lochside walks.
