Step by Step

This tour from Edinburgh to the Highlands will take you deep into the heart of Scotland, taking in some of its most iconic and spectacular sites. Aboard a comfortable coach and accompanied by an expert English-speaking guide, you'll enjoy a complete experience that combines nature, history and Scottish legends.

The tour begins with a stop at The Kelpies, two colossal 30-metre high horse sculptures that pay homage to the mythical water spirits of Scottish folklore. These impressive steel figures have become one of the modern symbols of the country.

Continue to the William Wallace Monument in Stirling, where you'll learn the story of the legendary hero who inspired the film Braveheart. From the top of the monument, you'll enjoy a spectacular view of the Forth Valley and the fields where the battles for Scottish Independence took place.

The route continues to the Queen's View, one of the most picturesque in the country, where you can look out over Loch Tummel and the majesty of the Highlands. This vantage point, much loved by Queen Victoria, offers a spectacular panorama that has become a must-see for every visitor.

Finally, you will travel through the Trossachs National Park, known as "the Highlands in miniature", with its mountains, forests and lochs that represent the essence of the Scottish landscape. A place where every bend in the road reveals a new natural postcard.

You will return to Edinburgh in the late afternoon, with the feeling of having experienced a true Scottish adventure among castles, mountains and legends.

    A great day. Views of mountains, rivers and the Kelpies sculpture. It was intense, but rewarding.

    I was impressed by the viewpoint on the bridge. The historical explanation was clear and we learnt something new about Scotland.

    Very well thought out route. At one point we climb up a steep path; for some it can be demanding, but be warned it is not too steep.

    Dreamlike landscapes and a guide with a good sense of humour. The stretch to the plateau was spectacular.
