The 14 Best Multi-Day Highland Tours from Inverness

14 reviewed

Some of the Highlands sits too far north for a single day. These are the best multi-day tours from Inverness, with the ground each one covers (the far north, Wester Ross, the isles), how the nights are arranged, the pace on single-track roads and what the whole trip costs.

Two days from Inverness to Skye: Fairy Pools hike, Dunvegan & Eilean Donan castles, Quiraing, Storr, and Loch Ness views by bus.

“Me and my partner absolutely adored this tour over to the Isle of Skye with Marita and the rest of our group. She had so many things to tell us about the spectacular places we passed or stopped at and local customs, politics, etc. We loved that she made the extra effort to see whether we could take the historic ferry over to Skye (we could!). We will for sure return to Scotland and would love to join other tours with Timberbush! Fingers crosses that by then, they will also cover the outer Hebrides and/or the Orkneys, otherwise we will for sure find other amazing experiences!”

“Fiona was an outstanding tour guide! The bus was clean, comfortable, and Fiona provided beautiful music. Our group arrived at our starting location early, so we departed early. We were able to visit so many sites! We never felt rushed to complete a hike or a visit. Fiona was familiar with busy times at specific locations and daily weather changes, and managed to get us to and from our locations before sites were busy or rain was impending. She provided historic, cultural and necessary information before every site. The Isle of Skye is so beautiful, and we're happy we were able to be with a small group. Our accommodations were…”

“I had thought to do the trip by public transport, but this particular trip checked all my boxes. Emily was an amazing guide and she made the three days an absolute enjoyable experience. I saw so many different sites in that short time that I could have never done on my own. It was like another trip within my trip. My particular lodging was in a guesthouse about a mile out of the city centre of Kirkwall, but Emily either dropped us in town or came to collect us. The walk back to the lodging was easy. The transportation was in a 16 person mini bus and was very comfortable.…”

Intending to do this trip alone, I opted to join this outing and could have never seen or done any of the visits that these fine gentlemen shared with our group. It was like a trip back to yesteryear learning about the past of Hebrides. I was completely gobsmacked by the beautiful sandy beaches and amazing countryside that I woke up to each morning. The lodging was exceptional and served a wonderful breakfast to begin each day.”

Roger (the tour guide/driver) is very caring, attentive and funny. He made our trip memorable. He does not mind made changes on the way to fulfill our wishes. Very on time. He became a friend of the family. Highly recommend this company.”
