Full Day Private Tour to Loch Ness With Boat Trip Included
Overview
If you want to see the world famous Loch Ness and only have one day in which to see it, then this is the tour for you.
Leaving Edinburgh, we first of all drive north to the picturesque Highland town of Pitlochry, where we stop for a comfort break.
Our journey through the Highlands continues after this. As you drive through some of the most beautiful scenery Scotland has to offer, our guide will regale you with tales of Scottish history and culture.
At Loch Ness, you'll have the opportunity to take a 1 hour boat ride of the loch (admission included in price of tour) or you can explore the pretty village of Fort Augustus on the banks of the loch.
On our way back to Edinburgh, we'll take a photo stop in the spectacular steep-sided valley of Glencoe, a must-see piece of legendary Scottish scenery.
We'll then take a final comfort break at the gorgeous Loch Lubnaig in the Loch Lomond National Park before returning you to your hotel at 8pm.
