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 a briefing, Princes Street Gardens and an early dinner

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

Fly into Edinburgh Airport (EDI), about 13 km west of the city, where a driver meets you in arrivals for the ride to our hotel in the centre, within walking distance of the Royal Mile.

Soir

Nothing is planned until early evening, so land by about 3 pm if you can and rest, or come a day early. At about 5:30 your See Sight Tours woman guide meets the group in the hotel for an unhurried briefing: how the days are paced, what to pack for Skye's rain and midges, how room sharing works, which streets are pleasant for an evening walk, how to get a licensed taxi home, and anything you want to ask. Then a short, level walk through Princes Street Gardens below the castle rock, and an early sit-down welcome dinner of Scottish dishes, at a restaurant run by women where we can confirm one with your dates. You are back at the hotel by about 9 pm. If your flight lands late, your guide briefs you at breakfast instead.

Imprimer l'itinéraire

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 women-only 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 woman 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 both castles, Culloden, Eilean Donan and two distillery tours.

Will everyone I meet on the trip be a woman?

Every guest and your See Sight Tours guide are women, and we ask for a local woman guide for the Edinburgh walk. Your driver, boat crews and distillery guides may be men. Anyone who identifies as a woman, aged 18 and over, can join. For a mixed group, the Scotland: Edinburgh, the Highlands and the Isle of Skye trip follows the same route.

How big is the group?

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 women 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?

A See Sight Tours woman guide is with the group from the briefing on day 1 to the drop in Glasgow on day 8. For the Edinburgh Old Town walk we ask for a local woman guide and confirm who is available with your dates. Your driver, boat crews and distillery guides may be men. We name your guide when we confirm your dates.

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. Day 1 is gentle on purpose, and you can sit any walk out.

I'm travelling solo. Can I share a room, or have my own?

Either. Ask to share and we match you with another woman on the same departure at the shared price. A room of your own is from CAD 1,150 more, shown when you request to book and never added later. If we cannot find you a roommate, we tell you before you confirm, and you choose before paying anything.

Is Scotland safe for women, and what should I wear?

Scotland is generally an easy country for women travellers. Take the usual city care at night in Edinburgh and Glasgow: watch your drink in busy pubs and use licensed taxis, which your guide covers on day 1. There is no dress code at any stop; what matters is waterproofs, warm layers and shoes with grip.

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 check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request. Prices are per person sharing a room, taxes included: the small group starts from CAD 6,520, and private from CAD 11,735.

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 woman 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.
