What to expect
Scotland is the kind of place you remember for a long time. On this 6-day trip, you’ll explore historic Edinburgh, travel through the Highlands, visit famous lochs and castles, and enjoy local stories, food, and culture.
This is a land-only package. That means the tour price covers the itinerary and inclusions once you are in Scotland. Flights are not included. If you want, you can book your own flights, or we can help you find flights from Toronto to Edinburgh, and your return from Glasgow.
Why join this Scotland tour?
Scotland has a mix of old-world history and natural beauty. You can walk medieval streets, stand on legendary battlefields, and see landscapes that look like movie scenes. Traveling with a guided group also makes the trip easier. You don’t need to worry about transport, timing, or what to do next.
