A terrific 6 days. The success of any tour can never be just the places you visit. The weather, accommodation assuming multiple days, size and make up of the group, comfort of the bus all play a part. But you need a fantastic, talented, knowledgeable, quick witted and engaging tour guide and we did. ‘Sophie’ was all of these and more. She kept us entertained with lots of information, updates times and places coming up, histories, stories of the myths and mysteries of the highland clans. Sophie had created a playlist to keep us entertained and welcomed additions from us. She is competent driver we never felt unnerved at any time. If you do this tour make sure you ask when she is leading.

Hannah 10/05/2024

Martin (our tour guide) was incredible. I really could list a million things but to name a few: kind soul, great story teller, safe driver, positive attitude, super knowledgeable. The tour was incredible, but made even better with Martin as our tour guide! It will be sad to say goodbye to everyone that I got to know on this tour. It was an amazing time. Highly recommend it!

Kelsey 29/04/2024

Absolutely stellar experience on the 3-day tour from Edinburgh to the Isle of Skye! Our guide, Laurie, was an absolute gem, making the weekend an unforgettable adventure filled with laughter and fun. The breathtaking views and perfect weather only added to the magic of the trip. Laurie went above and beyond, not only providing excellent commentary but also assisting with travel arrangements, ensuring a seamless journey throughout. And don’t miss out on asking her about ‘the key game’ for Dunvegan Castle – it’s an experience you won’t want to miss. Five stars all around for an incredible tour!

Gaurav 03/05/2024

Scottish Highlands

Scotland’s handsome heights.

You know when you watch a movie and think 'That place can't possibly exist, it must be CGI'? That's why travellers and photographers, poets, filmmakers, and dreamers have continuously found themselves drawn to the Scottish Highlands .

Haven't been yet? Can't picture it? Imagine a place of wild beauty and mystery; where spectacular mountains overlook deep lochs. A place where battle-ravaged castles are spectators of the peaceful wildlife.

The Highlands are a mystical location and more than just a visit to the iconic landmarks of Loch Ness and Glencoe.

Tour the Highlands on our small group tours of up to 16 people and experience the stories, scenery, and incredible traditions.

Why you'll love the Highlands

Lovely Landscapes

Some landscapes tell tales of terrible battles. Others feel like they’re home to giants and fairies. Whereas many are so stunning, you’re stopped in your tracks. From barren moors to dense forests, you don’t need to delve deep into the Highlands to find beauty.

Wonderful Wildlife

In the evening, you hear the owls cry. In the morning, you see silhouettes of stags in the forests. And by the sea, you can admire thrashing whales and dolphins. Scotland’s Highlands are abundant with wildlife; so it’s a good idea to bring wildlife books and binoculars on your tour.

Curious Castles

Mysteries lie within. Like a hidden passageway. A strange portrait looming above you in a dark hallway. A wall torn to shreds by violence and time. The castles of Scotland display their history proudly. They sigh over their own ruinous state, welcoming your admiration over all they’ve endured.

Heartfelt Hospitality

Quaint and snug cottages. Large and eerie castles. Cosy and traditional pubs. No matter where you go in the Highlands, you’re sure to receive a warm welcome. Highland hospitality is genuine and typically involves a hearty meal shared amongst new and old friends.

Scotland Coach / Bus Tour Reviews

Branka's tour with MacBackpackers was absolutely amazing! Her ability to combine Scottish folklore, history, and personal connections made for an entertaining and enlightening tour. We saw amazing sights, heard great stories, and made memories to last a lifetime -- my only regret is not leaving enough time to take the 5-day tour!

Great tour lots of walking day 2 even in the rain it was fantastic. Tim did his best to maximize what we could see and hike his enthusiasm and love for the park were contagious.

The tour started fine; more time in Glasgow would have been better. All we had was a ten-minute bus tour through Glasgow without any information about what was there. At the end of the day, all we got from the tour guide was restaurant suggestions. The travel packet states that we stopped at Loch Ness, but we did not. The tour guide stopped off the road at a parking lot, and we had to walk up a road to look through some bushes and trees and see a partial castle, apparently on Loch Ness. If you were short, you wouldn’t get to see anything. That does not stop at Loch Ness, and the stop at Loch Ness is also listed as a tour highlight for the day, which didn’t happen. There were so many stops we could have made but didn’t. When we stopped at Glenfinnan, the tour guide only talked about the Harry Potter reference, no mention of the Jacobite monument. The tour was constantly filled with Harry Potter references, the guide’s political opinions, and insufficient historical references. No one cares what the tour guide’s political views are; just do your job. Also, at the same stop, it was the only stop with food available, and there was only a little café where several people did not get their orders after they paid, and the tour guide did not care. Some of the people on the tour also missed the monument because the tour guide did not mention it. The Aberdeen Altens Hotel was a complete disaster. The hotel was out in the middle of nowhere. If you didn’t go on the optional excursion, then you were stranded at the hotel with minimal options, such as a pool, where you had to make an appointment to use. It was not available, the hotel had an escape room in the basement which sounds like to beginning of a horror movie, but thankfully it was not open that day, or you could take a taxi where the closet place was a ten minute drive. Still, everything was closed that day, and the taxis don’t drive around the city, so you must remember to take down the number to get back to the hotel. Also, the dinner at this hotel was a disaster; it took over three hours to get through a substandard dinner. The chicken was dry, the potatoes were terrible, the fishcakes were overcooked, and even the dessert was awful. The tour guide didn’t even stay for dinner, and then the following day, she explained that Globus knew about the problem with the amount of time it takes to get dinner and that there was nothing they could do about it. Yes, there is; use a different hotel, location, etc. The fact that this is a known problem and Globus does nothing is despicable. This hotel and location are terrible choices by Globus. The tour of The Royal Yacht Britannia was a waste of time. It seems like it was just a time waster until dinner. Overall, this tour was below satisfactory and not worth the money.

Full Tour Itinerary

Select Day:

Day 1 - Edinburgh - Inveraray - Oban

Departing from Edinburgh, we travel westwards across Scotland to reach Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city.

Soon we enter the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park , a natural wonder just waiting to be discovered. Loch Lomond is a real highlight - it's Britain's largest lake and one of Scotland's loveliest. It has 30 islands, including one inhabited by a colony of wallabies! We’ll make a stop in the pretty village of Luss so you can stroll by the "bonnie, bonnie banks".

The Argyll Forest Park is famed for its ancient trees, tranquil lochs and mountains. Look out for Ben Arthur, affectionately known as "The Cobbler” - it’s one of Scotland’s most popular climbs.

Soon our coach starts our ascent of the "Rest and be Thankful” mountain pass. You’ll soon realise why this road has such an unusual name when you look down on General Wade's original road that winds its way through Glen Croe all the way to the summit!

The 3rd Duke of Argyll built the "new" town of Inveraray at the head of Loch Fyne. The town sits in the shadow of Inveraray Castle  and, as we will discover, this pleasant town retains much of its 18th Century charm.

From Lochgilphead we enter Kilmartin Glen . This mysterious Glen has one of the most concentrated areas of prehistoric sites in Scotland, including a linear cemetery – a line of burial cairns stretching over 2 miles.

Nearby is Dunadd, a hill fort that dates from the Iron Age. Dunadd was the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Dalriada, so this part of Argyll has played an important part in the creation of modern Scotland!

Soon we arrive in the bustling, beautiful port of Oban, our stop for tonight. Oban is known as the "gateway to the isles", so why not take a pre-dinner stroll and admire the views over the busy harbour?

Overnight: Oban

Day 2 - Oban - Glen Coe - Isle of Skye

We bid farewell to Oban and make our way to the Connel Bridge. As we cross Loch Etive, look out for the Falls of Lora below. 

Glen Coe is arguably Scotland's most famous Glen partly because of its awe-inspiring beauty and, more sinisterly, because of the infamous massacre that took place here in 1692. The sad tale will be told as we make a short diversion to explore this special place for ourselves.

Fort William's glorious setting on the banks of Loch Linnhe has made it a popular tourist destination since the arrival of the steamships in the mid-1900s. The town sits in the shadow of Ben Nevis, which, at 4,406 feet, is the tallest mountain in the UK.

Here selected departures* will board the famous Jacobite Steam Train for a trip along one of the most scenic railway routes in Europe!

Along the way, see Ben Nevis, Britain's tallest mountain and savour stunning loch-side vistas at every turn.

One of the journey's highlights is crossing the 21 arches of the Glenfinnan Viaduct, famous for its appearance in the Harry Potter movies. Look out for the evocative Glenfinnan Monument built in tribute to the Jacobite clansmen.

There are lovely coastal views as we head towards Mallaig, where there is free time to explore before boarding a ferry to cross to the magical Isle of Skye, our home for the next two nights.

* Departures from 6 May to 26 September 2024

All other departures will include a cruise on Loch Ness and a visit to Urquhart Castle instead. The journey between Mallaig and Fort William will be undertaken by road.

Overnight: Isle of Skye (2 nights)

Day 3 - Touring the Magical Isle

After breakfast, we board our coach to explore the beautiful Isle of Skye .

From the little villages and gentle scenery of the southern part of the island, the views will change dramatically as the Cuillin Hills come into sight. Considered by many to be amongst the finest hills in Britain, the Cuillins present a simply unforgettable vista.

Set around its natural harbour, the picturesque town of Portree is the largest community on the Isle of Skye. The town's name means the "King's Port" following a visit by King James V in 1540. Today the pretty painted houses surrounding the harbour give Portree an old-fashioned appeal. During our stop, there will be time to explore the town and browse the interesting shops surrounding bustling Somerled Square.

Later we tour the famed Trotternish Peninsula. From Portree, we travel northwards to the little ferry port of Uig, where ferries sail to the Outer Hebrides. At little Kilmuir, there is a monument to Flora MacDonald , who famously assisted Bonnie Prince Charlie in escaping the Government Troops who were hunting for him.

We'll stop to explore The Quiraing, a dramatic terrain formed by a landslide and enjoy a walk through a landscape that dates from Jurassic times! See if you can identify the rock formations that are known as the "Needle", "Table" and "Prison".

A short drive brings us to Kilt Rock, so named because the basalt columns of this rock fall to resemble the pleats of a kilt - we will stop so you can snap an "I was there" photograph!

Day 4 - Isle of Skye - Eilean Donan Castle - Inverness

After breakfast we bid farewell to the Isle of Skye and return to the mainland.

We stop to visit picturesque Eilean Donan Castle . This is, without doubt, one of Scotland's most iconic sights. The castle stands on a little island situated at the confluence of Loch's Alsh and Duich. We'll have time to discover the castle for ourselves during our stop here.

There are wonderful views as we travel through Glen Shiel, look out for the impressive mountain range known as the Five Sisters of Kintail . Wildlife thrives in this part of Scotland so as we drive through this striking scenery you might see local residents such as red deer, golden eagles and pine martins.

Enjoy a scenic drive along the banks of mysterious Loch Ness and free time to explore the attractive village of Drumnadrochit. This afternoon take the opportunity to visit impressive Urquhart Castle and take a monster-spotting cruise on the dark and deep waters of Loch Ness.

A relaxing drive brings a late afternoon arrival in Inverness, the Capital of the Highlands.

Overnight: Inverness

Day 5 - Inverness - Arnol Blackhouse - Stornoway (Isle of Lewis)

From Inverness, we head across the Black Isle, then tour westwards to the fishing port of Ullapool . Founded in 1788 at the height of the herring boom , this attractive town sits on the banks of Loch Broom. Here, we board our ferry bound for the Isle of Lewis.  

After crossing The Minch, landfall is the bustling port of Stornoway, the island's main town and our base for exploring Lewis and Harris . 

We step back in time when we visit Arnol Blackhouse , a traditional style of Hebridean dwelling that is a barn, byre and home all under a thatched roof. The last residents left in 1965 and left behind a well-preserved time capsule of life on these islands not so very long ago. 

Harris Tweed is a luxury fabric handwoven by islanders using local wool. Our last stop of the day will be to a local weaver who will demonstrate the manufacturing process using a traditional handloom – a truly fascinating process. 

It is a short drive to our comfortable accommodation in Stornoway. After settling in, there is time to explore before heading for dinner.

Overnight: Stornoway, Isle of Lewis (2 nights)

Day 6 - Exploring Lewis and Harris

Together, Harris and Lewis make Scotland's largest island. These islands have been inhabited for over 6,000 years, and there is a real sense of history as we will discover as we spend today discovering these neighbouring islands.

After breakfast, we will head to the impressive Dun Carloway Broch , an Iron Age stone fort known to have been built more than 2,000 years ago. This is one of the best-preserved fortified towers in Scotland, and it has a beautiful location with incredible views over Loch Carloway and the sea beyond. 

It is a short drive to our next visit*, the astonishing Callanish Standing Stones . Archaeologists believe Neolithic people placed these 15-foot (5 m) stones here sometime between 3,000 and 1,000 BC. The site is rated second in importance only to Stonehenge . 

We'll travel through the imposing hills of North Harris, which offer beautiful vistas, to reach the ferry port of Tarbert, the main community on Harris. We'll stop here to explore this pleasant little village - a great place to pick up a souvenir of your Hebridean travels!

Our scenic tour continues with a drive to the island's west coast to savour the views over to the picturesque island of Taransay, the location of the BBC TV series "Castaway". Harris is home to some breathtaking beaches. The most famous is Luskentyre , whose white sands appear never-ending - it's the perfect place for some beach-combing!

The little village of Rodel is our final stop of the day. St Clement's Church is an impressive structure erected for the Chief of the MacLeods of Harris around 1520. It is believed to be the most significant medieval building in the Outer Hebrides. The church's interior is captivating and showcases some exquisite late medieval sculptures, such as a splendid wall tomb made in 1528 for Alasdair Crotach MacLeod, the 8th Chief.

*  Due to planned facility closures, tours departing in September 2024 will be unable to visit Callanish Standing Stones.

Day 7 - Stornoway - Ullapool - Inverness

Our last day on these islands takes us westwards to see the Butt of Lewis lighthouse and to experience stunning clifftop views over the Atlantic Ocean. This remote location has the record for the windiest place in Britain, and due west from here, there is nothing but wild sea until the next landfall in North America! 

We return to Stornoway for some free time to explore this bustling port before our island interlude comes to an end. Later, we make for the ferry port where the MV Loch Seaforth waits for our crossing back to the mainland. 

On arrival in Ullapool, we head for our overnight accommodation in Inverness.

Day 8 - Inverness - Cairngorm National Park - Edinburgh

There’s time to explore Inverness, the Capital of the Highlands, before travelling the short distance to visit tragic Culloden Moor . It was here that the Jacobite army of Bonnie Prince Charlie was routed by Government troops in a bloody battle in 1746.

We’ll stop at Dalwhinnie Malt Whisky Distillery so that you can discover how our National drink is lovingly produced. After our tour, you’ll have the chance to sample a "wee nip” and shop for souvenirs.

The  Cairngorms National Park is Britain’s largest and contains five of Scotland’s six highest peaks. The park provides a stunning backdrop to our travels through the Spey Valley then, we descend through the Drumochter Pass to reach the pleasant Victorian tourist town of Pitlochry, where we will stop for refreshments.

The dramatic scenery of Highland Perthshire gives way to rolling farmland as we reach the "Fair City” of Perth then we join the motorway for our journey through the ancient Kingdom of Fife.

The final part of our drive offers wonderful views of the Forth Bridge as we make our way into Edinburgh.

Customer reviews overall rating:.

I really enjoyed my tour . The timing was very well done, and our 2 drivers (Andrew and Fergus were very nice and very knowledgeable). Some of the accomodations were less nice than expected given the price but overall, no complaints at all.

Both Andrew and David were excellent drivers/guides. Each with an unique style. We had a wonderful group of passengers and an unforgettable experience. If I may make one criticism, a little silence every now and again to take in the stunning surroundings would have also been appreciated but the amount of history both men knew was remarkable. I'd definitely recommend you!

This was an excellent tour, Martin and I enjoyed it immensely; we only wish we could have kept travelling for another 8 days! Both Andrew and David were super guides. They both had their own style, one was a strict time keeper while the other was somewhat more laid back. Our group was also brilliant, age range 28 - 72. I've already recommended Highland Experience to many people on Facebook.

2024 Travelers Championship predictions, expert picks, odds, field rankings, best bets at TPC River Highlands

The pga tour presents its final signature event of the season on the heels of a thrilling u.s. open.

A busy, three-week stretch on the PGA Tour comes to an end this week as players make their way from North Carolina to Connecticut for the 2024 Travelers Championship. The second of two signature events to sandwich the third major championship of the year, the Travelers Championship will welcome at field of 71 players to TPC River Highlands.

Notably absent is Rory McIlroy, who fresh off his agonizing defeat at the U.S. Open has decided to take some time away from the game before his defense at the Scottish Open in three weeks. McIlroy's omission will leave the door open for others to possibly claim the title with the elephant in the room still being world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.

Scheffler experienced his worst result of the season at last week's U.S. Open carding only four birdies across four rounds and was unable to break par once. He should return to his usual self this week as he performed well last year en route to a top-10 finish and seeks his sixth victory of the season.

Someone who has won at this golf course already in his career is world No. 2 Xander Schauffele. The PGA Championship winner notched a top-10 finish at the U.S. Open, making it eight straight top 15s to start his career in that specific championship. Perhaps the most well-rounded player in the game, Schauffele has eyes on his second victory at TPC River Highlands after outlasting Sahith Theegala in 2022.

Ludvig Åberg, Collin Morikawa, Viktor Hovland and Patrick Cantlay are among those in fine form aiming to capture their first trophies of the year, while major champions like Hideki Matsuyama, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and Wyndham Clark round out a star-studded cast set to take the stage in New England.

2024 Travelers Championship schedule

Dates:  June 20-23 Location:  TPC River Highlands — Cromwell, Connecticut Par:  70 |  Yardage:  6,852 Purse:  $20,000,000

2024 Travelers Championship field, odds

• Scottie Scheffler (7/2): The world No. 1 experienced a number of professional firsts at Pinehurst. He carded four straight over-par rounds for the first time in 120 professional starts and averaged just one birdie per round on top of that. The level of concern is still a zero as Scheffler hit the ball like he normally does but was fooled on the putting surfaces. Getting off slick Bermuda grass should be a welcomed sight and allow him to continue his love affair with his mallet putter that had gained him strokes in seven straight tournaments before the U.S. Open.
• Xander Schauffele (7-1): Schauffele has now rattled off four straight top-10 finishes dating back to the Wells Fargo Championship, and the most recent two have come without his best stuff. Struggling with the driver at Pinehurst and hitting just about 50% of the fairways, Schauffele did well to skirt his way inside the top 10 by week's end. It would surprise no one if he does much better this week and actually plays himself into contention over the weekend as he has four top 20s in five appearances including that win two years ago.
• Ludvig Åberg (12-1)
• Collin Morikawa (12-1)
• Viktor Hovland (18-1)
• Patrick Cantlay (20-1): Cantlay appeared to have turned the corner at the U.S. Open where he notched his third top-five finish of the season. Coming close to nabbing the victory, the former FedEx Cup champion found something in his iron play that we had not seen in quite some time. If there is ever a place for Cantlay to continue this upward trend it is TPC River Highlands where he has finished inside the top 15 in his last six appearanecs.
• Hideki Matsuyama (25-1)
• Russell Henley (28-1): Henley's high floor was matched with a high-ceiling performance at the U.S. Open where he raced through the finish line and into the top 10 by tournament's end. He now quietly has three top 15s in his last four U.S. Opens, and his ability to split fairways consistently and hole putts with confidence should come in handy at TPC River Highlands. Finishing inside the top 20 in his last two trips up to Connecticut, the Georgia Bulldog should love his chances this week given his form, the fit and the confidence with which he is playing.
• Sam Burns (30-1)
• Tony Finau (30-1): Finau has found his groove. A top-three finish at the U.S. Open marked his fourth straight top 20 and his second straight top 10 as he arrived in Pinehurst off a nice result at Jack's place. He continues to drive the ball much better and hit his irons as well as anyone, but the reason for the uptick lies in the short-game department. Finau has now gained strokes on the greens in back-to-back starts for the first time since March and will threaten for the title if he makes that three in a row this week.
• Tommy Fleetwood (30-1)
