Travel in luxury aboard a 2025 executive, 16-seater, air-conditioned Mercedes Sprinter, ensuring a comfortable journey while you take in the majesty of the Highlands. Enjoy entertaining commentary and music from your expert driver/guide.

As you leave Edinburgh, pass some of Scotland's most impressive landmarks such as Stirling Castle, The Wallace Monument, and The Kelpies. Visit the Callander area for your first stop of the day, where you can get a coffee and may also get the opportunity to meet and feed some of the famous Highland Cows (April - September).

Continue your adventure further into the highlands towards Glencoe. As you enter, hear stories of the clan massacres together with some atmospheric traditional music. There will be two opportunities to step off the bus and stretch your legs at the breathtaking Three Sisters mountains and at the Glencoe Turff House where you can also grab lunch.

Drive west to the iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct, best known for its scenes in the Harry Potter film, which is beautifully set among mountains on the shores of Loch Shiel. This enchanting location is famous for the Jacobite Steam Train, often compared to the Hogwarts Express. From (April to September) you may even get to witness the Hogwarts Express pass over the viaduct, really setting the tone as you cast your mind back to the Harry Potter movie scene.

Loch Shiel also plays the role of the “Black Lake”, used as the backdrop to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in several of the films — look out for the “Giant Squid” stirring up trouble.

As you depart from Glenfinnan, your scenic journey back to Edinburgh begins. However, the tour is not over yet. Have a final stop at The Kelpies where you will have the chance to get up close to these impressive sculptures and get some amazing photos with the striking, 30-meter high, steel horses in the background. Make a short journey back to Edinburgh, arriving back outside the Market Street Hotel for 7:45 PM.
