- Tarbet - Tarbet is on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. Not only will we stop here for morning refreshments, but to enjoy some wonderful views of Loch Lomond. Ben Lomond, Scotland’s most southerly Munro, (mountains over 3000 feet high) can also be viewed from here.
- Glencoe - Glencoe was the setting to one of the most infamous periods in Scottish history, the Glencoe massacre which took place in 1692. The beautiful scenery is a visitors must see. We stop at Glencoe Visitor Centre to allow time to learn more about the history of the glen. The centre is also home to the turf house where you‘ll be able to see what life must have been like for the 500-600 strong community that lived here in 17th century Glencoe.
We travel through the glen twice (morning and evening) and stop for photos and to take in the landscape while we are there.
- Fort William - In the shadows of Ben Nevis lies the holiday town of Fort William. We travel through the town in the morning to join the romantic ‘Road to the Isles’
-
Glenfinnan Viaduct - We have plenty of time to visit Glenfinnan as the views here are simply spectacular. You will see the 21 arches of the majestic Glenfinnan Viaduct curve through the glen in a scene immortalised as the route to Harry Potter’s Hogwarts (from April 2- Oct we aim to reach the viaduct in time to see the Jacobite Steam Train crossing over).
The Glenfinnan Monument lies at the head of Loch Shiel and was erected in 1815, to honour the Jacobites who fought and died in the cause of Bonnie Prince Charlie. There will also be time to pay entrance to visit the monument if you wish. - Ardlui - After travelling back through Glencoe & Rannoch moor, our last stop of the evening will be within the heart of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, where you can enjoy an early evening refreshment before our return to Glasgow.

Highlands highs - We started right on time. We really liked our driver/guide, Kyle. He was personable and knowledgeable. He even included a few impromptu stops to cater to participants’ wants. Overall, a great experience.
The only thing I’d quibble with is the short time at Glenfinnan Viaduct. This is the highlight of this tour for many people (and is featured in the advertising). In our case, the train was running about 15 minutes late so we had to choose between delaying the group or waiting for what we came all the way out to see.

I wish I could give 10,000 stars - If only I could give more than 5 stars.
Michael was absolutely fenomenal, full of fascinating stories and hilarious jokes, he made this tour so incredibly memorable.
It has to be honestly the best tour I've ever been on, and I can only wish to catch him on our next tour.
I cannot recommend him and the company more. He really made us feel in awe throughout the whole trip, every person visiting Scotland will be blessed to go on a tour with Michael.

Scotland Highlands Tour Glencoe/Malliag - Absolutely amazing tour of the Scotland highlands today! Our tour guide Stuart was nothing short of brilliant. His great jokes and history of the highlands kept us enthralled the entire day. We got to see numerous Harry Potter landmarks and even highland cows thanks to our tour guide! Definitely recommend to anyone who’s looking for a breathtaking tour and want to avoid 50 person buses!

The Best Day Trip Through The Highlands You’ve Ever Been On - Just got home from our tour of the highlands and wow.. an experience I will never forget. Stuart is the absolute best tour guide, great personality and will give you an unforgettable and truly special experience. Even though it was only the four of us, he made sure that we hit all the stops and made it a 10/10 tour (he went out of his way to show us some highland cows, which literally made our day). Could not say enough good things. The van was perfect size and comfortable. Definitely a tour you should book if you’re only here for a short while.. 1000000% recommend! Thanks again for the best time!!

The best day in a while - Amazing trip to Glenfinnan viaduct Glencoe and Mallaig would recommend to everyone. It's worth every penny and scenes are stunning. Monumental mountains and colourful Lochs. Isles and golden beach. Karen and Alan were so welcoming and friendly so knowledgeable about beautiful Scotland. It was amazing day. Will do it again for sure. Thanks to all professionals involved from beginning to end it was well planned and give us plenty of time to enjoy every moment of the trip.

A great day tour from Glasgow. - Scotland is a must for touring and seeing the variety of landscape, the famous lochs, castles, viaducts and historic places. It's our fourth time in Scotland, first time without renting a car. Discover Scotland Tours filled the void perfectly. Karen is great with full knowledge about the places you pass by and more... thank you!

Amazing Tour Guide and Sights - I went alone as a solo traveller and expected the tour to be quiet and mundane. However, Scott intended to prove me wrong, as his infectious energy and enthusiasm for everything Scottish permeated the minivan, leaving his passengers yearning for more. Although the sights were breathtaking, the highlight of this trip was indeed the tour guide :)
