Let Scotland's lochs and highlands enchant you

There's a reason a unicorn is the symbol of Scotland—it's a land of pure magic.

Scotland Tours & Vacations

Looking out across Liathach as bad weather approaches. Torridon in the Scottish Highlands in the UK.

Misty highlands, sparkling lochs and rolling hills – there is a reason Scotland is known for its natural beauty. 

But it’s not all just deserted moors and moss-covered forests (although there are plenty of those too!), Scotland’s rich history and culture are also a big drawcard. From exploring the medieval city of Edinburgh , to the lively fun of a traditional pub where many a wee whisky can be enjoyed, there are plenty of opportunities to experience the hospitality of the local Scots beyond the clichés of kilts and bagpipes. Discovering areas like the enchanting Scottish Highlands , the modern hub of Glasgow and the wilderness of the Isle of Skye, all with the inside knowledge of a local leader is an entirely unique experience.

Learn more about Scotland

Local culture.

Some might know the Scots, as they are fondly referred to, for their tartan kilts, bagpipe playing, whisky or delicious shortbread, but there is a lot more to this British nation than these clichés.  

The people of Scotland are a mixture of Scottish,  British  and several minority immigrant groups. Many of Scotland’s traditions have roots in Celtic heritage. A large portion of the population are Christian, with some Catholics and others who make up the Kirk, the Presbyterian Church of Scotland. The Scottish are famous for their polite and friendly nature, stoic attitude and good sense of humor.

Soccer or football as it is known locally is a very popular sport, with rugby also being widely watched. For literature fans, the Harry Potter book series is deeply connected with the city of Edinburgh, as it was here that author JK Rowling lived when she wrote most of the books. You can visit the cafes where she wrote as well as see many of the places that inspired parts of her stories, including cemeteries and other buildings.

Geography and environment

Scotland is the most northern part of Great Britain and borders England. The low mountains of the highlands make up 60 per cent of Scotland’s land. Scotland’s flora is similar to most of northern Europe with forests, rugged coasts and moors. There are 62 different species of wild mammals in Scotland, common ones include: grouse, wild cats and off the coast there are many seabirds, seals and dolphins.

The climate of Scotland is classified as temperate, which means it has distinct seasonal changes and wider ranges of temperatures throughout the year. In winter, average temperatures are between five and seven degrees Celsius (41 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit) and in summer between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius (68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit). The western highlands experience a lot of rain throughout the year, but other areas of Scotland receive much less rain.

If you’re looking to buy authentic Scottish wares, there are options aplenty in the capital city of Edinburgh and other large cities like Glasgow.

If you are after something special, some Edinburgh Crystal, which is owned by Waterford Wedgewood makes an excellent luxury souvenir. Deck yourself out with a set of new drinking glasses, bowls or for something really different – a crystal bell.

If you’re after a gift or souvenir that is a little more edible, you can’t go past a bottle of authentic Scottish whisky. Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a popular choice and whether you’re a connoisseur or a total whisky novice, the local proprietors will love talking you through the different tipples – they are a passionate lot.

If you have family heritage in Scotland, it can be a fun exercise to hunt down your clan tartan. But even if you don’t have one, a woollen scarf, hat or if you’re feeling brave, a kilt, is a distinctly Scottish piece of attire to add to your wardrobe.

Festivals and events

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is on during August each year and is a massive global arts and cultural event. It takes places in over 300 venues around Edinburgh and includes a range of performances and experiences across theatre, comedy, dance, physical theatre, circus, cabaret, children's shows, musicals, opera, music, spoken word, exhibitions and events.

Hogmanay Street Party

Hogmanay is a traditional Scottish celebration that takes place over New Year’s. Edinburgh’s Hogmanay Street Party is a three-day festival that runs at various locations across the city. With multiple stages with entertainment set up, a torchlight procession and plenty of opportunities for a ‘wee dram’, tickets for this festival are highly sought after and can sell out months in advance.

Highland Games

The Highland Games are held in spring and summer and are one of Scotland’s most iconic events. There are many traditional athletic events like tug-of-war and caber toss, where competitors dress in traditional kilts and spectators enjoy all the social and cultural festivities that come with it, including traditional food, drinks and music.

The Glasgow Whisky Festival

If you’re heading to Glasgow as well as Edinburgh (and you should!) the Whisky Festival is a great time to go. A showcase of Scottish and specifically Glaswegian distillers is the focus, but there is also a celebration of international whisky too, with attendees from all over the world. It is Scotland’s national drink after all…

Scottish food

The Scottish food scene is garnering international attention thanks to Scotland's elite chefs like Gordon Ramsay (Scottish born, even if he did spend his schoolyears in England), Nick Nairn and Andrew Fairlie. These culinary wizards are taking the country's incredible natural produce – beef, venison and seafood – and bringing us a whole new era of more refined Scottish cuisine. However, if you’re looking for some traditional Scottish fare, here are some dishes you must try.

It might not sound very appealing but if you’re a meat eater, you might surprise yourself by enjoying haggis too. Haggis is made of sheep or calf offal, mixed with oatmeal and seasoning before being boiled in a bag (although traditionally it was boiled in the lining of an animal’s stomach). The overall effect is not dissimilar to a sausage with a grainier texture and is often served alongside a traditional roast dinner.

Scottish porridge

A traditional breakfast food, Scottish porridge differs slightly from the standard oatmeal you might be used to eating at home. It has been a population dish for centuries and traditionally should be eaten out of a wooden bowl, with everyone dipping their oats into a communal bowl of cream (for some reason you should also eat it standing up). The preparation is also quite unique – traditionally it should be stirred with a wooden rod called a spirtle and only ever stirred clockwise with your right hand, unless you want to incur the wrath of the devil. While you might put sugar on your porridge at home, in Scotland it’s served with a generous pinch of salt!

A traditional Scottish shortbread is a simple biscuit cake with only three ingredients. Butter, sugar and flour. Cover it in sugar and cut the cake into wedges while it’s still hot and it will cool into delicious, crumbly triangle-shaped biscuits. It’s all in the texture…

Scotch pies

A scotch pie is a meat pie, traditionally filled with mutton or other mincemeat. It is double crusted, single portion pie that is often enjoyed at soccer (football) games, which has earned it the nickname of ‘football pie’. The lid of the pie is slightly sunken from the crust, to allow space for condiments to be put on top.

More About Scotland

In the northern part of Great Britain, Scotland makes up nearly one-third of the United Kingdom's land area. With a sense of mystery and pride, Scotland's breathtaking, wild beauty consists of Georgian architecture, medieval ruins, rugged landscapes, and scenic lochs throughout the Scottish Countryside. With more castles than anywhere else in the United Kingdom, these medieval marvels are a must-see. In southeast Scotland, Edinburgh Castle commands attention atop Castle Rock, an extinct volcanic hill. As the sound of bagpipes echo through the air adding a musical touch to the country's cultural heritage, Scotland beckons travelers to explore and embrace the warmth of its people, and the rich tradition of kilts and tartans.

Scotland tours by region   .

Tour magical Scotland , where you’ll lose yourself in a delightful land of legends and romance. From cozy old-fashioned pubs to misty moors, our Scotland vacation packages to this northern land will capture your heart. Whether you crave the majestic moors and lochs of the Highlands or the cultured, captivating cities of the south, our trips to Scotland will enchant you. Explore the cobbled lanes of historic cities like Glasgow and Edinburgh, where the streets are lined with magnificent architectural relics from medieval to Georgian. Historic cathedrals, castles, abbeys, and estates will invite your imagination into centuries gone by. In the Highlands , trod on ancient battlefields and linger loch-side, gazing at dramatic mountains and herds of shaggy Highland cattle. Watch the mist roll through prehistoric pagan stone circles and envelop castles flanked by green hillsides. You’ll taste the landscape from north to south in iconic Scotch whisky , flavored with peat from Scottish bogs and aged in oak. Don’t know what you want to see? Start with our guide to The Best Things to Do in Scotland .  

Scottish Highlands   

Our Scottish Highlands tours take you to a land of drama and wide, windswept panoramas, where a network of mountain ranges has kept the population small and nature glorious.  See rugged Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest peak, soar above Fort William. Surveil the surface of the 23-mile-long Loch Ness, seeking the mysterious Loch Ness Monster. Check out the shops and pubs of charming Inverness, protected from the North Sea by Moray Firth. Nearby, explore Culloden Moor Visitor Center and learn how Bonnie Prince Charlie's Jacobite army was defeated in 1746. Our Scottish vacation packages are renowned for the stunning scenery accompanying your journey to Thurso, Britain’s most northerly town, and nearby John O’Groats, an ancient Norse port, and fishing village.   

Scottish Lowlands   

Visit the Scottish Lowlands , where Glasgow and Edinburgh have roots going back 15 centuries. Dynamic Glasgow, the largest shipping port in Scotland, hums with energy as home to cultural attractions like ballet, opera, symphony, and art museums. Visit Edinburgh, renowned for its famous Fringe Festival and pedestrian paradise. Gothic, Georgian, and neoclassical facades line the streets, and the fortified 12th-century Edinburgh Castle ,  housing the Scottish Crown Jewels, overlooks it all from its perch on Castle Rock. Get a taste of the city’s past with a stroll along the Royal Mile , through the Old Town, to the Palace of Holyroodhouse , the British Monarch’s official residence in Scotland. Visitors on an Edinburgh tour in August may witness the incredible spectacle of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo .  

Other cultural touchstones include Alloway , the birthplace of celebrated Scottish poet Robert Burns; the wonderfully intact Alnwick Castle, a film location representing Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films; and Stirling Castle, the royal residence of Mary, Queen of Scots, and several Scottish kings and queens. On the English border, Quaint Gretna Green gained fame as a wedding destination for young eloping English couples. Explore Scotland’s two first National Parks: the vast Cairngorms National Park and Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. Let’s not forget the waterfront city of Dundee, distinguished for its status as the first UNESCO City of Design and the original home of marmalade.  

Scottish Isles   

Scotland has over 900 islands, most of which are uninhabited. Our Scotland travel packages take you to the best of the Orkney Islands off the north coast, dividing the North Atlantic and the North Sea, and two islands of the Inner Hebrides, the Isle of Skye and the Isle of Mull. The Orkney Islands are accessed by boat from John O’Groats, the most northerly inhabited village in mainland Britain. Meet the rugged people of these beautiful Scottish Islands, who say they live ‘below the wind and above the water. Enjoy the majestic countryside, dramatic coastlines, and tranquil pace. This remote place harbors fascinating features, from pagan stone circles to WWII relics. Few castles are more picturesque than the 13th-century Eilean Donan Castle on the way to the Isle of Skye. It’s reached by bridge on a tiny island where three sea lochs meet. The Isle of Skye is the largest and most beautiful island of the Inner Hebrides, rich in wild scenery and sweeping views. Just south lies the Isle of Mull, with a picturesque seaside town of brightly colored houses.  

Frequently Asked Questions About Scotland Tours   

  • How many days do you need to see Scotland?   If the major cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh are on your agenda, they each deserve at least two days. While the Highlands and the Lowlands each merit a week, a 7–10-day tour will give you an excellent introduction to the country.   
  • Do you need a visa to travel to Scotland?  No visa is required to visit Scotland.   
  • Is Scotland a separate country?   Scotland is a country and a sovereign state within Great Britain, which consists of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.   
  • What is the best time of year to visit Scotland?   Scotland is fairly far north, with a similar latitude to the Alaska panhandle or Denmark. Summer visitors will enjoy long days and short nights, while shoulder season visitors may encounter more of the wet, chilly weather that keeps the moors and mountains green and the people hardy.  
  • Where is the most beautiful place in Scotland?  It’s hard to top the highlands, celebrated for the stunning scenery and dramatic skies. Prehistoric ruins and mighty castles dot the striking landscapes guaranteeing indelible memories.   
  • What is considered the Scottish Highlands?   The “Highlands” refers to the mountainous area in the north of Scotland, where the rocky landscape and limited agriculture contributed to smaller, isolated communities and fervent clan loyalty. In contrast, the area known as the Lowlands, which lie to the south, is more hospitable to agriculture, with rolling hills and urbanization.  

Why You Should Visit Scotland   

Rugged, tranquil, and mysterious, Scotland is an exceptional destination. From dense green highland forests to foreboding ancient castles, it’s a land of endless natural and man-made treasures waiting to be discovered. Uncover the secrets of centuries past as you take in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and St. Andrews, where golf originated. Along the way, embrace the heart of Scottish culture and its long-standing passion for festivals, bagpipes, history, and more. Scotland is a heart-pounding, awe-inspiring country unlike any other. The terrain, towns, castles, and cathedrals evoke mythic imagery of ancient deities, Lord of the Rings, fairy tales, and folklore. Expect vistas, views that take your breath away, and endless skies embracing emerald moors.

Nordic Visitor’s  self-drive tours in summer  (April - October) are the best options for Scotland vacations lasting longer than 8 - 10 days, or for travellers who want more flexibility for hiking, sightseeing and photography. Shorter road trips are also available in wintertime. Just keep in mind that motorists  drive on the left side of the road in Scotland .

Most visitors adapt to driving on the left in Scotland fairly well, but if you don’t want to do the driving, then a  privately guided tour  or  guided small group tour  is a wonderful option. Led by professional local driver-guides, an escorted tour in Scotland is a great choice for travellers interested in Scottish heritage, Highland culture or  whisky tasting tours . 

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN SCOTLAND VACATION PACKAGES

All of your Scotland accommodations will be pre-arranged by your dedicated Nordic Visitor travel consultant, and you’ll know exactly how you’re getting to your overnight locations — and which attractions are found on the way — with a personalised itinerary and Scotland travel guide booklet. For self-drive tours in Scotland from USA, we’ll also provide you with a hand-marked map of Scotland and our own 24/7 helpline.

SCOTLAND VACATIONS FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS AND INTERESTS

Want to add a few personal touches to your Scotland vacation from USA? Nordic Visitor’s Scotland tour packages can be  tailored by our local experts  with extra nights at select locations, alternative arrivals or departures from Glasgow, day tours in Edinburgh, and more. We can even a tailor an itinerary to a special occasion, such as a Scotland honeymoon from USA, or to specific interests, like golf vacations in Scotland or Scotland castle tours.

As a country with over 6,000 miles of coastline, rugged Highlands, idyllic lowlands, charming villages, historic cities and numerous islands (isles) off the north and west coasts, there are many routes you could follow to  see Scotland’s top sights . It all depends on the attractions you prefer, your length of stay and the pace of your travel.

  • Related: Cool facts about Scotland

WHAT TO SEE ON TRIPS TO SCOTLAND FROM USA

Under a week:  For most trips to Scotland from USA, the Scottish Highlands are the main attraction. Give yourself at least 4 - 5 days to see the top Highland attractions, with overnights in the Inverness, Fort William and Loch Lomond areas. With at least 6 days you can travel through the Highlands to the  Isle of Skye  or -- if you’re a whisky lover -- the Oban and Isle of Mull area. On such a route you can visit highlights such as Loch Ness, the Old Man of Storr rock formations on Skye, the picturesque valley of Glen Coe, Eilean Donan Castle and some  filming locations from the popular Outlander TV series , such as Doune Castle.

1 - 2 weeks : For the classic Scotland experience, we recommend that tours to Scotland from USA last around 10 days. With this much time you can travel up the beautiful east coast to the city of  St Andrews  and the “Castle Trail” region of Aberdeenshire before heading into the Highlands and onwards. In 12 days or more you can also visit the  Orkney Islands  and drive along the scenic North Coast 500 route or travel even further to the quiet islands of Harris and Lewis in the  Outer Hebrides .

2 - 3 weeks:  In 17 - 21 days you can do the ultimate tour of Scotland, including the east coast,  Highlands  and many of the major islands. You can even visit the far-flung Shetland Isles -- the northernmost point of Scotland and all of Britain.

— SCOTLAND FACTS

Usa & scotland connections.

  • Around 20 - 25 million Americans have Scottish ancestry
  • Uncle Sam is believed to be based on an army meat supplier of Scottish descent
  • John Muir, whose conservation work created Yosemite National Park, was from Dunbar in Scotland
  • 33 of the 43 US Presidents have had Scottish ancestry to some degree

Flights to Scotland from USA

The two biggest international airports in Scotland are in Glasgow , Scotland’s largest city, and in Edinburgh , the capital city and starting point for most Nordic Visitor tours. Direct flights from USA to Edinburgh, Scotland and direct flights from USA to Glasgow, Scotland are available with Delta (Virgin Atlantic) and United Airlines (Lufthansa) from New York City, with a flight time of 6 hours, 35 minutes.

Otherwise, most flights to Scotland originating from the US involve one or two connecting flights. Some of the major airlines to Scotland from USA include (but are not limited to) British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, United, American, Delta, KLM and Norwegian Air UK. We recommend checking with the airlines for flight availability and timetables. Flights are not included in Nordic Visitor packages.

Another great option, if you wish to travel to two different Nordic Visitor destinations in one trip, is to fly Icelandair from one of its US hubs to Glasgow via a stopover in Iceland. This would allow you to spend a few days in Reykjavik -- on a short break with day tours arranged by Nordic Visitor -- on your way to your Scottish adventure.

Patrick, United States

Classic scotland, october 2023, jennifer, united states, christie, united states, classic scotland, september 2023, we will use nordic visitor again.

We love Nordic Visitor. We have travelled to Norway, Iceland and now Scotland using Nordic Visitor and we will use Nordic Visitor again for future trips. The hotels/guest houses were very nice, comfortable and convenient. Picking up/dropping off our car was straightforward. The guide with info on recommended sites, restaurants was very helpful and appreciated. Booking was easy peasy. Really love you guys!

Richard, United States

Sharon, united states, wonders of scotland, september 2023, professional from start to finish.

This is our second Nordic Visitor tour. We would definitely look through them again. From start to finish, everything was professional, well handled, and delivered on its promises.

Elizabeth, United States

Highlights of scotland, september 2023.

This was a great tour. The high qualIty of our guide and drivers, hotels and general communication put this company at the top of the various tours we have taken.

Highly recommend Nordic Visitor

This is our second tour with Nordic Visitor. Agents used before the tour were always very prompt with responses to our questions. During the tour, we found the accommodation perfect, guide very informative and friendly, and the driver got used to where we needed to go without any problems. We would definitely use Nordic Visitor again!

James, United States

Wonders of scotland, august 2023, fantastic, well planned tour.

Excellent tour. Anita was friendly, informative, funny, and professional. The fact that none of the hotels we stayed in (except the final hotel in Glasgow) had elevators was challenging and I wished I was made aware of this fact ahead of time. You all did mention that not all hotels had elevators, but I did not expect 4 out of 5 to be without lifts. The evening meals were great and offered our group a chance to get to know each other. I did wish we could have stopped at the Kelpies, but time seemed to be against us. More time in Glenfinnan and Glen Coe would have been nice as well. Culloden and the Loch Ness cruise were about right. Thank you Chris for all your planning for this trip.

Eileen, United States

Amanda, united states, classic scotland, august 2023, thank you nordic visitor.

We had really great experiences with each B&B we stayed at but Gail at Dionard Guest House was especially lovely. If I were to go back I may stay there half the time then go back to the Isle of Skye for the rest of the time. It's just breathtaking there! Thank you Nordic Visitor!

Melanie, United States

Classic scotland, july 2023.

It was exactly as we hoped and as advertised

Glenn, United States

Scottish highlands & isle of skye, july 2023.

Nordic Visitor is a terrific programme. I would've benefitted from these experiences when I was younger. Not sure if we'll do another self-drive experience. I'm getting to the age where it becomes more challenging to deal with the stress of travel.

Edmund, United States

Our overall experience was very good.

Sarah, United States

Classic scotland & the orkney islands, july 2023, incredibly easy thanks to nordic visitor.

Nordic Visitor made the services incredibly easy and the plan was very clearly laid out for us.

Terry, United States

Highlights of scotland, july 2023, amazing trip.

It was an amazing trip! My husband and I took the Highlights of Scotland tour in July and had a wonderful time! Our tour guide, Andy, was amazing. His knowledge of Scotland was top notch and kept us informed throughout the entire tour. Andy educated us on Scotland history, shared delightful stories and enlightened us with Scottish culture. The accommodation were all so nice. Each one a bit different, but comfortable and lovely. Each place had helpful and respectful staff. Our bus was very comfortable, lots of room and great windows for the amazing views of Scottish scenery. The drivers were great. So glad they were driving us around the country.

William, United States

Overall experience was excellent. Great educational and cultural understanding opportunity for both the two adults and 18-year-old grand-daughter in this party. We attribute all the unexpectedly high level of service we received to our association with a Nordic Visitor.

Kent, United States

Amazing tour.

We were really impressed, and we plan to try and book future tours with Nordic Visitor. Andy, our tour guide, did an amazing job! Allen, our driver, was also a very good driver.

Adele, United States

Wonders of scotland, june 2023, excellent tour.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour of the Wonders of Scotland. Our tour guide and driver were exceptional in their roles regarding knowledge, safety and humorous dispositions. We had a wonderful group who travelled with us and will be our forever travel mates. The tour was excellent, with a good mix of the country's history, beauty and feel of local flavors to experience. Accommodation was great too!

Pamela, United States

Highlights of scotland, june 2023, fun and friendly tour guide.

Holly was a fun and friendly tour guide!

Randall, United States

Express scotland - private, june 2023, excellent services from nordic visitor.

We had both a driver for the tour and 3 extra days in Edinburgh. The driver, Danny, was on time, courteous and knowledgeable. He allowed for changes in the itinerary without a problem. All services provided by Nordic Visitor were excellent, as was all the accommodation.

Michael, United States

Classic scotland, june 2023, happy with the tour.

Overall, we were happy with the tour. We especially liked the page for each day that had the suggestions of what to do in that area. We did so much hiking and relied on the suggested hikes on that sheet. We had not researched ahead except for a few "must-see" sights so it was very helpful to have the highlights for each area layed out for our needs.

Chad, United States

Classic scotland & the orkney islands, june 2023, amazing hotels.

Most of the hotels were amazing. The rooms were wonderful and the breakfasts were delicious.

Holly, United States

Kathleen, united states, fabulous experience.

Scotland was a fabulous experience. Everyone we met was so polite and accommodating. The guest house hosts were lovely.

Darren, United States

Scottish highlands & isle of skye, june 2023, we would do it again.

We booked the Highlands & Isle of Skye self-drive tour. Chris was extremely helpful in getting everything planned and kept us well-informed. All of the people we met were extremely friendly, courteous, and helpful. Our tour path enabled us to see just how beautiful of a country Scotland really is. We saw 13 castles, 4 old churches/cathedrals, 3 stone circles, dinosaur tracks and amazing landscapes. We would definitely do it again and are already recommending this trip to our friends and family.

Barbara, United States

Best of edinburgh - loch ness & highlands, june 2023, we were in good hands.

As first-time visitors to Edinburgh, and senior citizens, our choice to use Nordic Visitor was an excellent one. The welcome package we received at the hotel was really helpful, with our tour vouchers, maps and restaurant recommendations. We would not have known what hotel to select and the one selected for us was perfect. The choice of tours offered was perfect for a 5-day visit. So glad to learn about the Royal Mile and visit the castle. The trip through the Highlands and Loch Ness was beautiful. Our travel agent, Rebecca, always quickly responded to email questions prior to departure. Thank you! Nordic Visitor made our trip easy and rewarding. We were in good hands.

Vickie, United States

Scottish highlands & isle of skye - private, june 2023, nordic visitor went above and beyond.

All our expectations were exceedingly surpassed! Everyone at Nordic Visitor, especially our guide, went above and beyond to make our adventure one that will be long remembered.

Diane, United States

Complete scotland, may 2023, one of my all time favourite adventures.

Rebecca was excellent in her communication with us. One example is that right before we travelled, she rebooked our ferry to Orkney because of a problem with the original plan. The car rental, the personalised itinerary with maps and the suggestions for places to see along the way were all very helpful. The trip was one of my all time favorite adventures.

Marcia, United States

Express scotland, may 2023, clear communication from nordic visitor.

The information we received from Nordic Visitor was clear, concise and thorough.

Steve, United States

Speyside whisky journey, may 2023, outstanding tour guides.

The tour guides - Henry and Ross - were outstanding!

Leslie, United States

Classic scotland, may 2023.

We did the self guided tour of Scotland. I wish we had more time to explore this amazing country! It was a new experience for most of us to drive around on our own and be able to control what we saw and it will definitely be a way of travel for us in the future. I think we were able to avoid a large majority or tourist traps this way. Of course, we still visited some, but it was amazing to be able to experience Scotland at our own pace and be able to stop when we wanted. Thank you Nordic Visitor!

Scott, United States

Outstanding.

Itinerary, rental car, and accommodation were all outstanding. Guest houses and hosts exceeded our expectations.

Lori, United States

Scottish highlands, may 2023.

Chris was excellent to work with. Car rental was good and upgraded us to a Mercedes. All the castles were amazing! We booked our times ahead.

Dirk, United States

When we decide to go to Ireland or back to Iceland, we will use Nordic Visitor.

Charles, United States

We loved the trip.

Is is testament to our happiness with the tour and services that our only complaint is that the provided map, although excellent, started to fall apart at the folds on the first day and was in shreds by end of trip. Other than that, we loved the trip and will be using your services again for a trip to Iceland.

Emily, United States

The outlander trail, may 2023, the tour was excellent.

Overall the tour was excellent! I appreciated the advice from the travel agent. This helped me feel very prepared for our trip. Everywhere we stayed was wonderful. The extras, such as the tea at Edinburgh Castle and the Ghostly Underground tour, were great. The recommendations for how to get around in the city and the restaurant guide were great as well. We plan to use Nordic Visitor again in a year or two for a second trip to Scotland and someday for a trip to Iceland.

Mark, United States

Classic scotland & the orkney islands, may 2023, an exceptional experience.

Working with Nordic Visitor was an exceptional experience! Our consultant was very organised and her communication with us was complete and timely. The suggestions given to us in our published itinerary were thorough and we had so many fun adventures based on those suggestions. Scotland is gorgeous and we got to see many areas of the country. The GPS system in the car we rented was crucial as we acclimated to the country and driving on the left side of the road! The accommodation was all excellent, the proprietors fun to get to know, and the breakfasts provided were so delicious! We will definitely be using Nordic Visitor for future travels!

Wanda, United States

Nordic visitor was on top of everything.

Chris was on top of everything, making changes at the last minute when the ferry fire occurred.

Deborah, United States

Outlander experience, may 2023, memories we will never forget.

Our experience was great, from prior to booking on through to the actual tour. Duncan took care of all of our questions and added an Underground Vaults tour for us at time of booking. We received all of our details in an email prior to trip, and a welcome bag was waiting at our hotel upon arrival with everything we needed. It was an awesome private tour that my husband and I will remember always. Our tour guide, Pete, was awesome and took very good care of us along the way until we finished the tour and were taken back to Edinburgh. He was like a member of our family by the time the tour was over and we hated to say goodbye to him. We thank Nordic Visitor, Duncan and Pete for memories we will never forget.

Melissa, United States

Wonders of scotland, may 2023, extremely knowledgeable tour guide.

We were very impressed with our guide. Best part of the tour as he was extremely knowledgeable. Travel was easy, timely and clean. Not a lot of vegetarian options for dinner.

Tracie, United States

Scottish highlands & isle of skye, may 2023.

This was an amazing trip! I can't say enough about the care and detail that went into the planning, the itinerary, the maps, everything! All of the accommodation was perfect (with one exception). Having a car with GPS made getting around so easy (especially when I missed an exit on a roundabout). I would not hesitate to use Nordic Visitor again for a memorable vacation.

Alan, United States

Highlights of scotland, may 2023, smooth experience.

Throughout the years we have travelled a lot, but never with a group tour. This trip was our first time and it did not disappoint. The tour guide, the bus driver, our fellow passengers, the weather, accommodation, variety of activities, and how smoothly everything went makes me question why we never toured like this before!

Cynthia, United States

Highlights of scotland, april 2023, well planned tour.

Everything was well planned and all my questions before the trip were handled quickly.

Perri, United States

Fabulous trip.

Our tour guide, Andy, made our trip fabulous! I had warned my husband that the guide will make or break our experience. Well, Andy made it a once-in-a-lifetime fantastic experience and more. Our second driver, Alan, was also an asset to our holiday - keeping his eye out for surprises along the road we are glad we did not miss. There is no doubt I will recommend Nordic Visitor and use them again if our travels coincide with its offerings.

Alyssa, United States

Scottish highlands & isle of skye, april 2023, loved the self-guided tour.

I loved that the option for a self-guided tour was there, but we could also customise things. We didn't have to follow the timeline of anyone else and could explore what/when we wanted, while having guidance and recommendations from experts.

Scottish Highlands, April 2023

Our travel consultant did an excellent job.

Rebecca was great to work with. She did an excellent job getting our trip organised.

Leisa, United States

Classic scotland, april 2023.

We toured Scotland for two weeks. The accommodation was all lovely, historic boutique hotels. Rebecca came up with a wonderful itinerary for us on relatively short notice.

Stephen, United States

Complete scotland, april 2023, we recommend nordic visitor.

This was our second booking with Nordic Visitor. Our first was for Norway four years ago. We were so happy with the service then that we came back. We have recommended and given out Nordic Visitor's name to many friends.

Margaret, United States

The perfect way to experience scotland.

I have never used a tour service like this, but it was the perfect way to experience Scotland. We were given amazing suggestions, great directions, had every question answered, and had the perfect experience. Our consultant, Magda, was wonderful! It was the right balance between independence and an assisted tour. I am already recommending Nordic Visitor to everyone.

Scottish Highlands & Isle of Skye - Winter, March 2023

We went on the Scotland Winter World tour for 8 days, and overall it was great. We experienced so much and travelled all over Scotland. The detailed information that was provided upon arrival was amazing. Magda was wonderful and knowledgeable and responded quickly to emails and phone calls.

Carlo, United States

A scottish christmas to remember, december 2022.

We booked a 4-day Christmas Tour of Edinburgh which included hotel accommodation, a walking tour of the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle, a day tour of the Highlands and Lowlands, castles, and lochs, and also a whisky distillery tour. The hotel was in an amazing location near the Christmas Markets and popular attractions. The day tours were such a wonderful way to experience the countryside outside of Edinburgh. We also added a driving service to drive us to and from the airport and the drivers were so lovely. The care package left at the hotel consisting of maps and suggested eateries was such a delightful bonus. We loved that every aspect of our trip was planned and ready for us once we arrived which diminished any travel stress that one may experience when travelling abroad.

Grand Tour of Scotland, October 2022

This trip was everything i wanted.

I definitely recommend Nordic Visitor for your travel experience! You can pick a package that they offer, and either go directly by it, or you can change it up a bit to accommodate your needs and experience! Eve set up my tour, she is absolutely amazing! This tour was a much needed reprieve from my life at the time, and she helped make it all possible! I spent a month on a self-drive tour, and didn't have to stress about any of the accommodation. I knew in advance and in detail what I could, or would do everyday. This trip was everything I wanted and needed to enjoy beautiful Scotland!

Duane, United States

Scottish highlands & isle of skye, october 2022, we enjoyed the experience.

Eve had arranged everything! Maps and points of interest were highlighted, vouchers all arranged, Historic Scotland passes were widely used. I was used to manually arranging details for a trip, but Eve took care of it all, so we could just enjoy the experience. She even arranged for champagne at 2 of the stops for our anniversary!

Shelly, United States

Complete scotland, october 2022, nordic visitor were responsive and helpful.

We had a great trip and felt that we saw Scotland. Chris and the team at Nordic Visitor were responsive and helpful. We would take another Nordic Visitor tour and would recommend it. Thank you.

David, United States

Classic scotland & the orkney islands, september 2022, nordic visitor did a wonderful job.

The entire experience of booking through Nordic Visitor was flawless. They handled everything necessary for our trip and ensured that the entire process was simple, easy to follow and perfectly laid out. Truly an exceptional trip and experience. The airport transfers were a wonderful option! Each accommodation was unique with its own style and history. Nordic Visitor did a wonderful job scheduling everything and handling all the details.

Trupti, United States

Classic scotland, september 2022, i am extremely happy.

I have used your service for an Iceland tour before with friends. This time it was for solo travel. I wanted to feel safe and have someone there to help me in case of emergency. Last but not least I wanted things to be planned in a new country that I might have spent hours but still could not have come up with, details that you guys have provided. I am extremely happy and I might join another tour with you all soon.

Douglas, United States

Grand tour of scotland, september 2022.

Rebecca was professional and friendly. She was able to adjust the tour to meet our individual needs. Outstanding work and we are already planning our next tour with Nordic Visitor.

Wendy, United States

Outstanding.

The tour was outstanding! The itinerary was beautifully laid out with fantastic accommodation! We enjoyed the hiking very much.

Magdalena, United States

Scottish highlands & isle of skye, september 2022, i appreciated the personal attention to detail.

Nordic Visitor took care of every detail and remained true to the description on their website. My personal itinerary was full of recommendations and served as an easy to follow guide. Duncan, my tour specialist, highlighted and made notes on the map, which was very useful! I appreciated that personal attention to detail. My overall experience was extraordinary. I will definitely recommend and will consider my next vacation with Nordic Visitor.

Alexis, United States

Scottish whisky journey, september 2022, i would not hesitate to book again.

Loved our trip! I had never travelled abroad and this was absolutely the best way to do so. Extremely easy to understand what the tour would include and what to expect. Beautiful accommodation with local recommendations, great vegetarian options. When there was an issue with our check-in at our last hotel, it was handled swiftly with minimal impact, very professional staff. We felt safe everywhere we went, our tour guide was phenomenal and we saw such incredible sights. This tour was a great way to see as much as the country as we could in the time we had, and I would not hesitate to book again!

Lisa, United States

Wonders of scotland, july 2022, my guide really made this trip memorable.

This is my first time travelling with Nordic Visitor. I felt fully prepared and ready for the trip due to the information and details I was provided with prior to travelling. It was easy to communicate with my tour rep and get all of my questions answered in a timely fashion. If I had travelled on my own, I never would have been able to do and see everything I did on the trip. As a solo traveller, I felt safe and comfortable in a small group. A tour has its pros and cons though - lots of driving and time on a mini-bus, being on a schedule with little to no flexibility, and being with strangers you do not get to pick. However, having a professional tour guide share information, take us to great and local spots to eat, and re-arrange the itinerary when it was not feasible, was worth it! My guide really made this trip memorable!

Ashley, United States

Complete scotland, june 2022, incredible experience.

Everything about our experience was incredible. Each hotel was lovely and accommodating. Every person we met was kind and helpful! Driving through the Scottish countryside was an adventure my husband and I will cherish forever! Super organized, loved the maps and site recommendations! We would do it again and book with Nordic Visitor again in a heartbeat! Can't wait to go back to Scotland!

Sandra, United States

Highlights of scotland, may 2022, very impressed with the service provided.

My travel consultant, Rebecca, was very friendly, efficient and helpful. She always responded to my emails promptly. She even noticed that a flight I was booked on was cancelled before I had a chance to email her with the change. I was so impressed with the service provided that I am contemplating another trip to Scotland for next year. The tour guides (we had two) were excellent. When the weather made it difficult to do something on the itinerary they came up with an alternative that was equally as interesting.

Classic Scotland, October 2019

The trip of a lifetime.

Every accommodation was stunning! We were met with enthusiasm and kindness and courtesy. I cannot say enough about our trip and the way it was set up and the accommodations. Everything was spot on and it was the trip of a lifetime for my sister and I. We already have friends who have booked a trip through Nordic as well. I am seriously considering another trip to Scotland next year and using Nordic for sure.

B Oberg, United States

Express scotland, september 2019, very impressed with our scotland and iceland vacation.

All accommodations were fantastic in both Scotland and Iceland. Car rentals pickup and drop off were great. Loved the Audi A5 Sport in Scotland. Transfers from Glasgow airport and Keflavik airport were very professional. Ferry crossing was very nice. My wife and I are very impressed with our Scotland and Iceland vacation and will definitely be booking through Nordic Visitor for our future trips.  

Paul, United States

Highlights of scotland, july 2019, great spots to visit and great company.

I really appreciate having an itinerary that's set for the trip. I've had trips in the past where we didn't plan ahead and it became stressful trying to come up with activities to do. I never feel that way when I travel with Nordic Visitor. Great spots to visit and great company. It was a wonderful trip.

James and Kathy, United States

Scottish lochs & castles with a local, september 2018, we had such a great time and learned so much about scotland.

Guide was Brian - he is fantastic!!! So knowledgeable, passionate about Scotland. We had such a great time and learned so much about Scotland. Easy schedule. Just a fabulous experience.

Scottish Highlands & the Isles, August 2018

Had the best time and experience.

We had the best time and experience, the self-drive tour was easy to follow and gave us enough structure to see a lot in a small amount of time but still gave us the freedom to explore at our own pace. The restaurant recommendations were really helpful and the places we stayed were so memorable and inviting. It was also great that we had the flexibility to add another day to Edinburgh at the beginning of the trip to explore. I'll highly recommend the tour agency.

Janet, United States

Grand tour of scotland, june 2018, i have already commended your services to several people..

We would have been lost without Agne's work on our tour! I have already commended your services to several people.

Annie, United States

Outlander experience, june 2018, this was one of the best trips ever.

This tour was not very good but EXCELLENT!! I would highly recommend it to anyone who asked me. Pete was an awesome tour guide and I can't wait to go back to see the things I missed. Too much to see in only a week. “ This was one of the best trips ever, my husband and I token and I have been all over the world! We both agreed, we would do it again in an instant. Annie handled everything quickly and to my satisfaction. If there was a selection for EXCELLENT, she would have gotten it.

Classic Scotland, June 2018

Thank you for wonderful vacation.

Annie was terrific — very responsive, pleasant to work. In the age of the internet, one sometimes wonders about spending money to have a service book hotels and a rental car, but I was reminded again how terrific Nordic Travel is. I love the highlighted map. We honestly did not prepare ahead of time, but were able to hit the ground running upon arrival because of the materials and itinerary provided. The hotels were terrific. Each one had it's own character and we enjoyed them all. Thank you for wonderful vacation!

Karen, United States

Highlights of scotland, may 2018, everything was enjoyable.

Brian was an exceptional tour guide. He was informative, entertaining, got us where we needed to go safe and on time...and brought us to some extra sights along the way. His local insights were invaluable. Singing "Oh What A Beautiful Morning" every day when we got on the bus started the day off just right. I truly can't express how much we enjoyed this tour and I think a lot of that can be attributed to Brian.

Annie was perfection from the time we booked the tour and the maps and materials sent to us prior to departure were great. Being a vegan, I am used to "making due" with salads or whatever I can cajole the chef/cook to make me while traveling and often rely on protein bars, etc. The food on this trip was exceptional, and many of our trip mates where jealous of my meals. This pleasant surprise certainly took this trip to an entirely new level for me. The small group, the wonderful sights, the grand itinerary, the superb lodgings. Everything was enjoyable....truly.

Stacey, United States

Scottish highlands & the isles, april 2018, we had a wonderful vacation.

Just a "thank you!" We had a wonderful vacation! We both agreed it was tied with our other favorite (a stay in the rainforest of Costa Rica) for #1! We loved Scotland and your company made it easy and affordable!! Christoph was great too!

Roger & Jan, United States

Complete scotland, september 2017, very pleasant to work with.

Annie was just superb to deal with both over the phone and with the internet. She was extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. Loved Cocoa Mountain in Durness. We truly enjoyed Orkney Island and also the Islands of Harris and Lewis. Since we punctured a tire, we were grateful to have the insurance package.

Classic Scotland, August 2017

Just perfect.

It was so great to have suggestions along the route! And we really appreciated how stress free the whole process was. It can be overwhelming traveling in another country, and this was just perfect.

Scottish Highlands & the Isles, May 2017

I had a very positive experience with your company.

I had a very positive experience with your company.  Christoph was extremely user-friendly in terms of dealing with the one-off aspects of my travel (such as bad-timing associated with being in Edinburgh the same time as the marathon was being run there).  I tend not to like organized travel companies since in their efforts to come up with an itinerary that is one-size-fits-all, they tend to recommend the most common/touristy sites and don't provide sufficient opportunity to check out more off-the-beaten path destinations.  That was not a problem at all with Nordic Visitor.  I am a very satisfied customer and only wish that you provided service in destinations I am more likely to visit in the future!

Carissa, United States

Scottish highlands & the isles, september 2016, everything was just wonderful.

This vacation was our honeymoon. We had just got married in the states a few days prior to the start of our trip. We had the most incredible experience. Everything was just wonderful. Working with our travel agent, Maria, for months prior, could not have been a better experience. She was so helpful, always quick to respond, answered all of my (many!) questions with great detail, and was so friendly. My sister secretly reached out to her to choose a restaurant to treat us to dinner for the last night of our trip, and Maria's suggestion was perfect. I especially loved the folder we received upon arrival that included vouchers for each day. This was helpful to enter in the destination to the car's GPS to help us get around. The spiral bound itinerary/suggestion booklet was really great. Not only did it suggest what to do each day, but it gave you a little history of each item. Since we were on our own most of the trip, these little blurbs of info gave me a nice bit of history, the perfect amount. The section at the end that provided helpful tips on traveling, money, tipping, weather, packing, etc. was awesome. I could not have asked for a better experience at any stage of planning or the trip itself.

Tanya, United States

Highlights of scotland, august 2016, fun & educational.

Tour director Brian was amazing! He made the trip fun & educational. 

Brian provided us daily bonus stops in addition to the planned itinerary. I loved that we didn't hit all the usual crowded tourists stops! 

Sandy, United States

North coast 500 & orkney, january 1900, great communication.

All accommodations were excellent! Christoph was excellent to work with. We enjoyed communicating with him! He provided all or more assistance that we requested. Extremely helpful!

Audrey, United States

Everything went well.

Everything was well planned out. We had no hiccups and everything went well.

Christina, United States

Absolutely stunning tour! The cost to value was amazing, for a 10-day trip around the entire country it was so affordable. Our car rental was great, it gave us the room to tour around on our own time with optimal fuel efficiency. I filled up maybe twice. Our accommodation were impeccable. Each place was well kept, comfortable and the hosts/staff were incredibly kind. The extra tours we booked like the food and wine tour and Loch Ness cruise were wonderful additions to our touring and super fun. The entire tour was breathtaking, our guide gave us the most amazing options that we could tailor to our daily needs depending on how much driving, sightseeing, hiking, etc. we wanted to do.

Well planned trip

Very well planned trip and itinerary. The only issue we had was that the GPS sometimes did not take us where we input but that may have been an issue with the way we input addresses etc. Otherwise we were able to see most of what we set out to see. We would love to return to your country.

Mary, United States

Flexibility.

The tour was planned out so that we had the flexibility to stop and check out sites related to our interests. We had time to make it to our next accommodation while stopping along the way.

John, United States

Connie, united states, june, united states, fantastic tour guide.

Our guide was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history of the places we visited. He kept me and my brother both interested and entertained. Tour guide Dan was appropriately concerned about my safety as I use a cane and have some balance issues. However, he accepted my assurance that I could navigate the paths and I appreciated that respect. Requests at hotels (for non-slip bath mats and extra blankets) were always fulfilled without difficulty. 

Gordon, United States

Thomas, united states, highlights of scotland, august 2023, a very engaging tour.

We saw places we would not have visited on our own, and our guide Andy was very informative and engaging and made sure everything ran smoothly.

Robert, United States

Very pleased with our trip.

All in all we were very pleased with our trip. We would definitely use Nordic Visitor again.

Judy, United States

Nordic Visitor was very attentive to all of our special requests - the documents provided were excellent; both the vouchers and suggested side trips, etc. The rental car was terrific and when we had an issue with 2 flat tires the rental company came right away to rescue us and change both tires. We can't express our gratitude enough for such a perfect and wonderful vacation. It was truly a well planned trip and we enjoyed everything thoroughly from start to finish. The B&Bs were top notch and very comfortable. Nordic Visitor does a great job in finding the best places to stay, the best tours to book, and insuring that you get the most value for your travel time and expenditures. We can't wait to book another vacation with them!

Highly recommend Nordic Visitor!

Duncan was an amazing consultant! Every detail was well thought out which allowed us to enjoy our Scotland trip to the fullest. The self-driving was flexible so we were able to see the areas of Scotland on the route, but also explore our ancestry in other areas. Highly recommend Nordic Visitor!

So well-put-together

I'm not a very experienced traveller, but your services took away so much of the stress surrounding all the unknowns of travel. Everything was taken care of in advance, laid out beautifully, was very user-friendly, complete with options to choose from. I was a little nervous about how long it took to get the complete booking information, but once we were there and doing the tour I saw why! It was so well-put-together.

Katie, United States

Express scotland - private, july 2023, a trip to remember.

Our guide, Dave, was excellent and really made our first visit to Scotland one to remember!

Wonders of Scotland, July 2023

Laura-jean, united states, wonderful tour.

Wonderful time, the beautiful scenery was spectacular. The hotel on the Isle of Skye was not the best. The driver Tim and tour guide Nick were great! Very funny and went out of their way to give us a great experience! Would love to see an Outlander tour of Scotland. 

The most helpful, knowledgeable and humorous guide I have ever had

This is the second time that I have travelled with Nordic Visitor and I recommend them highly. Our tour guide was the most helpful, knowledgeable and humorous guide I have ever had.

Helena, United States

Wonderful experience.

Scotland is a beautiful country and we were able to see do much of it. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!

Wayne, United States

Very pleased with the service.

We have utilised Nordic Visitor before for our Iceland trip. We were very pleased with the service provide to us.

Sunil, United States

Grand tour of scotland, june 2023, excellent itinerary.

The entire process was simple from start to finish. The recommended itinerary was excellent. The accommodation was uniformly excellent. Clearly, they had been well-researched and I would be happy staying at any of them again. The Nordic Visitor staff was a pleasure to work with.

Eve was wonderful!

Colleen, United States

Airport pick-up was exceptional.

The airport pick-up service (both to and from the airport) was exceptional and worth special note.

Rebecca, United States

Wonderful trip.

Overall, the trip was wonderful. We really enjoyed the guide with optional places to stop, thought the hotels were nice, and had no trouble with the rental car.

Kelley, United States

Nordic visitor make it so easy.

Our airport transfer was absolutely incredible and we loved all of our tours. We had two accommodation choices that were less than stellar, but that didn't put a dampner on our trip. This was my 2nd Nordic Visitor vacation, and you really make it so easy! We had a great time and will continue to use Nordic Visitor in our future travels.

Jan, United States

Our travel consultant was fantastic.

Our rep, Chris, was fantastic, very helpful and responsive to questions. He was great to work with.

Outlander Experience, June 2023

One of the best trips we have ever taken.

The entire experience was excellent. Nordic Visitor made it easy for us, although we are amateur travellers. Our guide was the absolute best, we couldn't have asked for a better person. He was able to convey his experience and amazing knowledge to make the trip both fun and educational. One of the best trips we have ever taken, thank you!

Scottish Highlands & Isle of Skye - Private, May 2023

Our private tour guide, Pete, was phenomenal, and all of our accommodation was great! My husband is disabled and Nordic Visitor took every needed step to ensure our B&Bs could take care of his needs.

Todd, United States

Great itinerary.

The itinerary was great, kept us on track. A lot of info and suggestions, almost too much to get it all done. Nordic Visitor should have a better description of when things are open, closed, limited hours, etc.

Jody, United States

We found so many hidden gems.

We found all of the information given so helpful to plan our days. We stopped at many of the suggested locations and loved all of them. So many hidden gems we wouldn't have otherwise seen or experienced.

Carol, United States

An indescribably fantastic experience.

We are two middle-aged women who had never been to the UK before. My sister-in-law always wanted to go to Scotland, so I started researching and came upon Nordic Visitor through internet searches. I checked for reviews and found the company to be highly recommended. I started corresponding with Kirsten. She was extremely kind, very helpful and was able to put my nervous mind at ease. The package she put together for us was perfect! From my first email, the airport pick up and drop off service, and the tour with Dave, it was an indescribably fantastic experience!

Ryan, United States

So happy we went with nordic visitor.

We couldn't have had a better experience with Nordic Visitor. So happy we went with your company. Magda provided excellent service and answered all of my questions. We were happy with the upgrades we received, also. Thank you!

Faisal, United States

Great experience.

Overall experience was great - all bookings and arrangements were perfect and no issues. Already thinking about going on our next trip with Nordic Visitor.

Frances, United States

We were satisfied.

There was a mix up about beds at our Skye location, but it was resolved and we were satisfied.

Vicki, United States

Wonderful trip. Chris was very helpful in planning our tour.

Anne, United States

Great experience and support staff.

Tailored to our interests

We liked how the tour was tailored to our interests and we were able to pick and choose what we wanted to see. All of the recommendations along the way were good. We were also glad that we made dinner & castle reservations ahead of time, as advised by Duncan. Duncan answered all of our questions and gave us some good pointers on how to maximise our tour.

Beth, United States

Good communication with my travel consultant.

My only contact with Magda was via email. She was attentive and answered my questions in a timely manner.

Ronald, United States

Our travel consultant did a great job.

We felt we saw 99% of Scotland using Nordic Visitor. Chris did a great job lining up our lodgings, vehicle, ferry tickets and providing a detailed itinerary. We left no stone unturned and although I was apprehensive about driving on the left, I had no issues. The single lane tracks were dicey but everyone was friendly and gave a passing wave. The sheep presented no problem as we enjoyed our revenge at dinner.

Jeffrey, United States

Will definitely use nordic visitor again.

We had a great time for 10 days in Scotland. Driving on the left side of the road was scary at first but then we mastered it. When we had questions, Duncan, our travel consultant, was a phone call away. Will definitely use Nordic Visitor again. Having everything planned out for us, hotels and routes, was very easy with the vouchers.

Beatrice, United States

Amazing trip, highly recommend.

Overall, this was an amazing trip and I would recommend it to friends and family. The combination of our tour guide and driver made this extra special! Our guide was also very accommodating to the visitors and made it possible for us to see Dunvegan Castle (at our own expense as it was not on the itinerary). The hotels and meals were great for the group and provided a nice, overall, Scottish experience. I loved the fact that we did not spend much time in the city and spent our time in the open countryside.  

Heather, United States

North coast 500 escape & the isle of skye, may 2023, trip of a lifetime.

We could not have been happier. It was the trip of a lifetime and it felt like it was made just for us. The accommodation was all top notch and stunning. Air transport was perfectly timed.

Professional service

Our tour encountered a road block on our way to cross the bridge to Skye. The tour guide, Barbara, handled the situation of finding an alternative route to get to Skye safely very calmly and professionally. Tim, our driver, likewise was very professional and calm during this situation. I was very impressed with how he drove the van over some narrow and steep roads to get to the alternate ferry, so we could continue to our accommodation on Skye. It was a long day for both of them but they handled the situation very calmly.

Edward, United States

We were spoiled with glorious weather for our tour. Could not have been more pleased with Andy. His knowledge significantly enhanced our experience.

Lewis, United States

Outstanding tour guide.

Highlights of Scotland was a great introductory tour - a fair amount of mini-coach travel but lots of opportunity for photos, history, context, and quick walks and climbs. Inverness and Isle of Skye were real highlights, as was Glen Coe. We had a great tour guide and drivers. I think our small tour group generally were really pleased. Andy was an outstanding tour guide - knowledgeable, entertaining, sociable, organised, and helpful in any possible way.

Kimberly, United States

100% recommend nordic visitor.

We selected the Scottish Highlands & Isle of Skye self-drive tour and it was perfect for us. We liked that Nordic Visitor arranged hotels and the rental car for us, but we were free to pick what sights we wanted to see in between. This was actually a rescheduled trip from 2022 and the team made it so easy to transfer over our balance and reschedule. They were attentive to any upgrades/changes we wanted to make and made it so easy. Would 100% recommend using them.

Belinda, United States

A well-planned adventure.

Awesome experience, superior service and well-planned adventure. I have only good things to say about our driving tour through Nordic Visitor. I definitely would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a perfectly planned visit to Scotland.

Exceptional trip

We did a self drive tour with Nordic Visitor and we were not disappointed. Being able to pick and choose what we wanted to do made our trip special. Travelling through Scotland at our own timeframe allowed us to make our trip ours versus having to follow a group. The itinerary suggestions made by Nordic Visitor were very good. Their overall trip planning was exceptional.

Scottish Highlands Express - Private, April 2023

Bruce, united states, ultimate journey of scotland, april 2023, my travel consultant took care of everything.

We told Magda what we wanted to see and do, and she took care of everything. She did a great job coordinating our ferry transfers, including contacting me during the tour to tell me about a change. Accommodation was all perfect.

Scottish Highlands & Isle of Skye Winter - Private, February 2023

I can't thank nordic visitor enough.

This is our second trip in two years to Scotland with Nordic Visitor, and we are seriously thinking about another. I can't thank Chris enough for his patience and expertise when booking this trip.

Stacy, United States

Scottish highlands & isle of skye - winter, december 2022, so convenient.

It was so convenient to have the logistics already planned for us. The accommodation was all nice and the suggested outings were perfect.

Catherine, United States

Scottish highlands express winter - private, october 2022, useful resources and prompt responses.

Despite the time difference between the US and Nordic Visitor I found Rebecca to be prompt in responding to my questions. Everything was beautifully presented upon arrival in a bag I found useful while walking around Edinburgh and shopping. Plenty of information for us to enjoy Edinburgh ourselves before heading to the Highlands with our private driver.

Extremely helpful

From the very beginning Emily was extremely helpful. The staff laid out a beautiful itinerary that made sense and allowed me to really see more then I could have imagined while in Scotland.

A remarkable journey

For a driving tour, it was a remarkable journey. A way to see the highlights of Scotland that you most likely couldn't see any other way.

We were in good hands!

We were very impressed with the thoroughness of the materials provided, the quality of the lodging, the detailed itinerary/map, and the overall scope of the trip. We always felt ourselves to be in very good hands! Working with Nordic Visitor made the trip essentially worry-free and we could put all our energy into enjoying ourselves. We particularly liked that we could make modifications to the tour, adding an extra day here and there. Our trip to Scotland was absolutely wonderful and we have Nordic Visitor to thank for this.

Casey, United States

Express scotland, september 2022, i am thankful for nordic visitor.

Overall I am thankful for finding and booking through Nordic Visitor. I will probably book through them again! The trip was well thought out with lots of details that helped me every step of the way for my first time not only outside of the US, but to Scotland.

Extremely positive experience

Our tour was wonderful and extremely well planned. The accommodation was awesome. The welcome package including vouchers, maps, attraction guide, etc. was very well organised. We had to endure a few hiccups due to arriving and touring during the death of Queen Elizabeth. Overall, our experience with Nordic Visitor was extremely positive and we are already talking about the next journey that we will take with Nordic Visitor.

Scottish Highlands Express - Private, September 2022

An adventure i will never forget.

The travel agents at Nordic Visitor were very helpful and easy to work with. It was the tour guide that took me around Scotland for four days that made my trip an adventure I will never forget. I would recommend Nordic Visitor and particularly Pete, my tour guide, for anyone who wants to see Scotland in a very personal way.

An extraordinary and wonderful adventure

We made some side detours through national parks and enjoyed exploring. Loved Stirling Castle and our time on Skye. We did not allow enough time to do anything in Inverness but enjoyed the lodge and their restaurant. We drove over the narrow mountain pass and being from Colorado we enjoyed the mountains. Overall we had an extraordinary adventure and again feel like your agency provided us with a wonderful adventure. Thank you.

Cheri, United States

Classic scotland, july 2022, spectacular.

We had the BEST time and used all the documents and tour ideas to build a great trip. The hotels and B&B locations were spectacular and the meals (usually at our hotel) were extremely wonderful, as well as the service and ambience.

Nancy, United States

Highlights of scotland, july 2022, very pleased overall.

I was on the tour of the Scottish Highlands including Skye and overall was very pleased. Both our guides were warm and knowledgeable about the places they drove us. I appreciated the pre-tour service of Eve, our travel consultant. Although I was accompanied by a friend, we only received one map of Scotland and one itinerary.

Jason, United States

Scottish highlands & isle of skye, june 2022.

Rebecca was a great help, providing tons of information and help before and during our trip. This survey comes a little over a year after my first trip, and I have booked another trip with Rebecca because how awesome she was the first time!

Complete Scotland, October 2019

Would definitely use again.

Our 2nd tour with Nordic Visitor. Would definitely use again.

Wally, United States

Scottish highlands & isle of skye - private, october 2019.

Our experience was excellent. We had no worries the entire trip.  

Highlights of Scotland, August 2019

Highly recommended.

We loved the entire tour. It was all new to us and each day so different it is hard to compare. We have already recommended this tour to several friends who say they are very interested. 

Express Scotland, September 2018

Scotland was even more beautiful than i imagined.

I would like to thank Sarah for her help and for the arrangements. It was a great and very special experience for my family and me. Scotland was even more beautiful than I imagined. We met another couple that did the same tour that we did at the rent car place and they seemed to have a similar great experience. Even with the STORM (after surviving Hurricane Harvey it didn't seem like much), we were able to see and experience all the sites we could make time for. Thank you.

Highlights of Scotland, August 2018

Thank you again for great memories.

We just returned last night from our trip to Scotland and I wanted to let you know what a great trip we had with Nordic Visitor. You were wonderful setting up our requests and I cannot thank you enough for switching our tour dates when we were unable to go as originally planned in May. The hotels and food were brilliant. Brian was magnificent. We could not ask for more of a guide. Even the special trip to see Highland coos. This was our second Nordic Visitor trip and we are now looking into our 3rd for next year. Thank you again for great memories. I am glad we were able to meet you on our first night.

The Outlander Trail, July 2018

We couldn't have asked for a better family holiday in scotland.

I was a little bit worried about using an online tour company I had never heard about but Nordic Visitor blew away any fears right from the start. Christoph made me feel like he would take care of everything and he did!!! We couldn't have asked for a better family holiday in Scotland!! Christoph was fabulous at getting back in touch when I emailed him. I never had to wait more than a day even with the time difference to the U.S. The accommodations were fantastic! Our hosts made us feel right at home and the accommodations were comfortable.

Adrienne C., United States

Scottish highlands & the isles, june 2018, we would recommend nordic visitor to anyone.

Our trip to Scotland, was one of the most relaxing trips I have ever taken other than a cruise. All the details were taken care of and we didn't have to worry about anything. We were able to see and do everything at our own pace and didn't feel rushed to get anywhere. If we wanted to stop and take pictures, go on a hike or stop and shop in a town, we were able to because of the flexibility in our itinerary. The map that was provided was very detailed and easy to follow. All of the documents provided key details so there was never any confusion on where to go and when we needed to be there. We used the personal itinerary, highlights, and useful information like it was the Bible. The car rental was excellent and the car we received was brand new. The GPS in the rental car was a lifesaver on more than one occasion during our trip. We wouldn't have been able to see as much as we did without it. The hotels and guesthouses were very accommodating and provided excellent service. Everyone was very friendly and professional. The staff at the guesthouses and hotels were very knowledgeable and were able to answer any questions we had about the area where we were staying. Overall, it was the best trip we ever could've imagined. We were a little nervous because it was our very first trip to Europe but because everything went smoothly, we can't wait to go again! We would recommend Nordic Visitor to anyone and will most likely be booking another trip with your company as soon as we are able to. Thank you for providing all the details and information to make our trip so memorable.

Rodger, United States

Orkney & the highlands, june 2018, very good experience.

Very good experience. Annie was very good at answering questions and getting everything we wanted. She did a great job.

Gretchen, United States

Express scotland, june 2018, will for sure continue to use nordic visitor.

This is our second time using Nordic Visitor and both times have been absolutely wonderful! The stress of having to book accommodations and arrange car rental and travel from the airport is completely eliminated by utilizing this travel resource. We will for sure continue to use Nordic Visitor and have shared your information and website with many friends and even strangers.

George, United States

Couldn't have asked for more.

Brian has such passion for what he does. Couldn't have asked for more. Annie Pepperell was our travel agent with Nordic Visitor. She did an excellent job all the way around.

Lois, United States

Complete scotland, april 2018, "above and beyond" service.

"Very Good" comes short of describing my trip! This was probably my top, most favorite trip every and I travel a lot. The B&Bs and hotels were excellent and I chose the standard. My itinerary was well planned making it so easy to just enjoy everything. The detailed guide book also was a great help in offering suggestions of thing not to miss. My deepest appreciation to Annie not only for planning this outstanding trip, but also her "above and beyond" service dealing with my luggage which the airline had lost.

Steve & Sue, United States

Scottish highlands & the isles, september 2017, near perfect experience.

Seldom do you find something where you feel that you received more value for your hard earned money  than what you spent. Nordic Visitor delivered a near perfect experience at what we consider to be a most reasonable cost. Extensive travel plans including a larger, weather proof map of Scotland, were waiting for us in our hotel along with a personal note from Maria along with her phone number. Communications was excellent throughout our experience. Maria was extremely patient and provided us some very specific options. We own sheep dogs and wanted to see a sheep dog demonstration. No problem! Within 20 minutes, we had the information and directions to a working sheep farm. Perfect.

Howard, United States

St andrews & the scottish highlands, july 2017, cant wait to book with nordic visitor next summer.

I thought the hotels which were chosen were excellent!  I was also very happy with the planned itinerary.  Christoph was excellent.  He was very receptive to questions and always got back to me.  I can't wait to book with Nordic Visitor NEXT summer!

Steve and Alice, United States

Grand tour of scotland, may 2017, exceeded our expectations.

The overall experience exceeded our expectations. We loved the attention to detail.  Annie obviously understood what type of planning we wanted. We were able to be spontaneous if we saw something that we wanted to include.  Many of the owners of accommodations told us how happy they were to be working with Nordic Visitors.  The travel guide was sturdy, survived the trip in one piece, even served as a plate for our lunches eaten in the car as we would return from a walk.  We took scotch tape along to mend the map, it's pretty big to handle in the car.  And a highlighter to add stops and reminders to help us when we start putting our pictures together.  But, the travel guide will be the most helpful when it comes to putting our travel album together.  

The places we stayed at were so very nice.  I don't know how we would rank them.  The owners were so very nice and helpful.  Giving us directions and making recommendations on dinners and even making reservations for us.  The locations of the accommodations were usually within walking distance of village centers.  Picking up our rental car was speedy and well organized.  A new car was ready for us and they took the time to go over key points of the car.

Erika, United States

Classic scotland, september 2016, well curated trip.

We had an amazing trip! It was so well curated! All of the destinations were thoughtful both in terms of location and distance traveled during the day. The sightseeing suggestions in the tour guide were excellent. The hotels and guest houses were all wonderful - comfortable and full of character. To put together a trip like this on our own would have required weeks of online research and we never would have been able to achieve something this perfect! Thank you so much for a great trip!

Kathy, United States

Classic scotland, july 2016, tour was everything hoped for.

The self-driving tour planned for us was everything I'd hoped, with a wonderful range of destinations and accommodations throughout. In every case, arrangements were what we would have chosen, had we planned this trip ourselves!

Chris, United States

Nordic visitor were accommodating.

While we had difficulties with the air travel arriving at our beginning destination, correspondence with the Nordic Visitor agents went smoothly allowing us to re-arrange the pre-booked airport shuttle to accommodate our altered arrival time.

Joslyn, United States

Susan, united states.

I traveled with my spouse and other family and friends. The people on the tour that I did not know were friendly and shared similar interests. Our driver, Tim, was excellent, offering additional information at times to what our guide was saying. The two of them interacted well, and made for an overall pleasant experience.

Eric, United States

We had a wonderful experience using Nordic Visitor. From the start of planning our adventure to Scotland, the communication before trip was outstanding. The tour itself was well thought out, we saw so many sights that on our own we may have missed. We only wished there were more hours in a day so we could have spent more time in the gorgeous countryside of Scotland (and maybe have done a bit more shopping!).

Enjoyed the tour

We enjoyed the tour, although it was very busy. I would prefer more 2 night stays. Packing up everyday gets old. I would probably choose a longer tour with not so much moving around.

Exceptional tour!

Everything about our Highlights of Scotland tour was exceptional! We were greeted at the Edinburgh Airport by our very friendly airport transfer and taken to our hotel. It was so nice after a long travel from the US to have someone at the airport waiting for us. The transport back to the airport after our tour... another very friendly and entertaining driver! It was everything we hoped it would be and so much more!

We also want to whole heartedly commend Chris in the Edinburgh office for taking such good care of us as we prepared for our Highlights of Scotland tour. We were always well informed of deadlines that needed to be met for the trip. Chris also answered our questions sent by email quickly. We never had to wonder about any of the questions we had in regard to finances, transportation to and from the airport, safety, insurance, what to pack, restrictions if any and adding extra days in Edinburgh after the tour ended. Chris was wonderful. 

Well-designed itinerary

We really enjoyed our trip. The map and itinerary were well-designed. We were able to see and do a lot, but the amount of driving each day was reasonable with well-planned stops. The highlights and restaurant recommendations were mostly spot-on.

Thoroughly enjoyed our self-driving tour

We thoroughly enjoyed our self-driving tour of Scotland coordinated by Nordic Visitor. It was very helpful to have the itinerary laid out for us and all of the accommodation arranged ahead of time, while still leaving us the flexibility to use our time in the various locations as we desired. We really feel that we had an excellent overview of all that Scotland has to offer, and were even able to take in a day of Highland Games during our trip (a definite highlight if you can make it work!).

Karl, United States

Truly excellent.

It was truly excellent. It was so nice to not worry about much and to have things laid out beforehand with options. Duncan was so helpful when I asked questions about live music along our tour, pointing us in the direction of places to hear and find out about live music. It was also great to have a list of recommended restaurants from which to pick. It took a lot of the guesswork out of a very important part of our daily experience.

The Outlander Trail, July 2023

All agents at Nordic Visitor were amazing! Our main agent, Kirsten, responded quickly with every question I had and supported me through all add on options. I will definitely go with Nordic Visitor for future travel plans.

Rochelle, United States

Our travel consultant was very helpful.

Our consultant, Eve, was very receptive to my enquiries and was very helpful in making sure our tour was set up perfectly. Even with our 8-hour time zone difference, it was easy to communicate with her. Each tour option we chose was fun for all 3 of us and the accommodation was amazing!

Isle of Skye Exclusive, July 2023

Very pleased with whole experience.

We were very pleased with whole experience. Very professional. Pete, our driver and tour guide, was fantastic. Highly recommend him. The whole thing was well-done. Looking at a trip to Iceland and/or Norway and will look to Nordic Visitor again!

Patricia, United States

A delightful, well organised trip.

This was my first overseas trip in a long time, so some anxiety about all the changes in the travel world. As I described to a friend, it was like summer camp for adults in that everything was taken care of, leaving me to relax and enjoy Scotland. I loved the size of the group we travelled with who were all kind, excited and fun to be with. The weather cooperated nicely! In hindsight I would have enjoyed a guided tour of Edinburgh before we set off. All in all a delightful trip, well organised and comfortable. Thank you.

Darin, United States

Rajiv, united states.

Great locations, fantastic guide and driver for the bus. 

Gerri, United States

Save your time and effort and hire nordic visitor to plan your tour.

Nordic Visitor provided a Scottish adventure with a good variety of stops at historical and culturally significant locations. I enjoyed the scenery as we went along roads that the larger tour buses could not go. They also accurately worked in the timing to miss the large tours at the sites. I had several of the best meals that were included in the package. Save your time and effort and hire Nordic Visitor to plan your tour.

Steven, United States

Ultimate journey of scotland, june 2023, dennis, united states, the outlander trail, june 2023, top-notch travel consultant.

We were supposed to travel in 2020, but obviously that didn't happen due to Covid. Nordic Visitor gave us a voucher plus 15% to use within the next 4 years. We travelled to Scotland in June of 2023. Duncan was top-notch. Handled everything flawlessly. The day we were to leave, our flight got cancelled. The next flight was in 2 days. He moved our first 2 days to the end so nothing else was disrupted. Very helpful. Would highly recommend.

Ethan, United States

Fabulous rental car.

Our rental car was fabulous and the process was easy to pick it up. We loved most of our hotels, but one or two were a bit more dated than what we had imagined.

DeWayne, United States

We took this trip with another couple and it was a great experience. Never having travelled to Scotland, it took some time to figure out exactly what we wanted to see and do. However, we managed to put together a plan for each day, some ahead of time and sometimes spur of the moment. Isle of Skye had to be our favorite area, and I so wish we could have stayed overnight in Oban area as that is a hidden jewel.

Very responsive to our needs

Nordic Visitor (specifically our travel consultant, Eve) was very responsive to our needs. We loved having alternatives on each day's itinerary. We are not as young as we used to be, but we still love travel, and being able to do each day at our own pace was essential for us. We loved the variety of accommodation.

Kristen, United States

Enjoyed my tour so much.

I enjoyed my tour of Scotland so much! Booking with Nordic Visitor was so easy. Their itinerary showcased highlights across the country, so I feel like I experienced the best of the best! The communication from our tour consultant, Duncan, was prompt and detailed. It was so comforting knowing that Nordic Visitor was only a phone call away 24/7.

One of the best vacations ever!

We have already recommended Nordic Visitor to friends and family! Magda was extremely helpful, and even at the last minute when there was a chance my husband's health situation might have interfered with our travel, she reassured us that there were alternatives possible. Fortunately, we were able to go and it was truly one of the best vacations ever!

Franklin, United States

Top-notch guide.

We chose the lower of two tiers of accommodations. For the most part, they met our expectations: the rooms were quite small, but clean, staff at the places we stayed were friendly, and it was convenient not to have to go elsewhere for breakfast each day. The information booklet provided by Nordic Tours was helpful. The highlight of our journey was our guide. Gary was top-notch, and everything one could ask for: friendly, knowledgable, efficient, and a skilled navigator and driver. On many occasions, he helped us rearrange our plans on-the-fly, suggesting that we visit other sites or in a different sequence than originally planned, which made better use of our limited time.

Roxanna, United States

Nordic Visitor was excellent. We particularly enjoyed our guide, Peter. We could not have asked for a better experience.

Great accommodation in beautiful settings

Early in our tour, our ferry to Orkney had to be rebooked due to issues with Pentland. We were not in a good service area to get that information on the day that Nordic Visitor tried to contact us. The changes were sent to our accommodation that evening and everything went smoothly. All accommodation was great. They were clean, had great breakfasts and were located in beautiful settings.

Frederic, United States

Scottish highlands & the west coast, may 2023, our travel consultant was a delight to work with.

Rebecca was always prompt with responses to questions and always informative, always patient. We're first time (and older) travellers and her professional manner was a delight to work with.

Everything was perfect!

Every part of this trip was perfect! And everything flowed seamlessly, from the pick up at the airport, to the drop off on our way home. Our tour guides, Peter and Carolina, went above and beyond. They really cared about giving us a great experience and their knowledge of the history of Scotland was impressive. We had full days every day, and on top of everything, the weather was great! Can't wait to come back to beautiful Scotland!

Peter, United States

The tour arrangement and guidance exceeded our expectations.

Carman, United States

Very impressed with nordic visitor.

Our experience with Nordic Visitor could not have been better! We were impressed with Magda and the team there from the very beginning. Every question was answered quickly and thoroughly. Once we arrived, we were very impressed with our visitor packet and all its contents. Each day was outlined, including options for sightseeing and attractions along the way. The lodging they selected exceeded our expectations, and the extras (tours, etc.) that were offered were amazing. We have told so many people about our experience and have recommended Nordic Visitor to them all!

Jordyn, United States

Loved having everything mapped out.

I loved having everything mapped out for us, especially because it was our first trip to Scotland.

Allyson, United States

Loved everything about our tour.

We loved everything about our tour with Nordic Visitor. The accommodation was all wonderful, and the itinerary was perfectly balanced with amazing activities without feeling rushed. We loved the flexibility that having our own car afforded us, while still having a list of activities to do each day. We really feel that the value we got for our money was phenomenal, and have already recommended Nordic Visitor to our friends.

Awesome staff!

I had to contact the after-hours staff on two separate occasions. The staff members were awesome! On one, I didn't leave a message, and she called me back anyway. We were stranded due to a flat tire and she was able to find us a taxi at midnight. Very grateful for her assistance.

Natalie, United States

Edgar, united states, grand tour of scotland, may 2023, strongly recommend nordic visitor..

We were impressed and pleased from the beginning by Nordic Visitor's flexibility about adding days and, in one case, changing an overnight location. We had planned and reserved an extensive trip throughout Scotland before the Covid pandemic forced our cancellation. Nordic Visitor's tour with our additions came close to what we'd planned without our having to go to all that trouble again. If we'd done the trip on our own, many of our accommodations would not have been as good, we might have paid more, and I'm not sure we'd have done as well keeping up with ferry changes or other issues. We strongly recommend Nordic Visitor.

Classic Scotland - Private, May 2023

So many wonderful memories.

So many wonderful memories of our tour were because of the exceptional service provided by Dave, our private tour guide. His knowledge was exceptional and we felt very welcomed by him. We all felt as if we were leaving a friend at the end of our tour. He greatly exceeded all of our expectations!

Very professional and knowledgeable tour guide

Our tour guide Anita was professional, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour.

We felt very comfortable with her. She made everyone in our group feel welcome and attended to.

Overall a fantastic experience!

Great tour! Just the right amount of activities. Rooms and meals were excellent, guide and driver were entertaining and professional. Coach was comfortable and modern. Overall a fantastic experience!

Scottish Highlands Classic, May 2023

Wonderful and hassle-free time in scotland.

I would highly recommend using Nordic Visitor for a self-drive trip. Eve made planning our trip to Scotland easy, enjoyable and stress free by booking all of our hotels, cars, airport transfers and ferries. The suggested itineraries, restaurant guide, travel tips and highlighted road map that Nordic Visitor provided were awesome and well-used. All information was well-organised and presented to us upon our arrival at the first hotel. We had a wonderful and hassle-free time in Scotland thanks to Nordic Visitor.

Alexandra, United States

Wonders of scotland, april 2023, had a wonderful time.

Overall, I had a wonderful time on the tour and I was very impressed with all the accommodation. The food was also very good - I appreciated the options, even though it was a limited menu offering. Our guide, Richard, was very knowledgeable. Our driver, Tim, was also wonderful - good driving and knowledgable. 

Super tour!

Our Scotland tour was super. Andy, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He made the tour remarkable. We found Scotland a beautiful country. Skye was our favourite with breathtaking scenery.

Donna, United States

Grand tour of scotland, april 2023, we loved every minute.

Our tour began in Edinburgh and made a wide circle through Aberdeen, the Orkney islands and the Hebrides islands. We saw castles, castle ruins, palaces, palace ruins and neolithic archeological digs. We toured galleries, museums, distilleries and beautiful, quaint towns. We saw sheep, hairy "coos" and deer. All of our accommodation was planned for us by Nordic Visitor and always included a breakfast that nearly lasted us all day. Nordic Visitor scheduled our rental car (we drove 1,500 miles in 3 weeks) and pre-booked our ferry passages. All we had to think about was having a good time and the location of our next stop for tea and biscuits. I am certain that we would not have seen this much of Scotland if we had planned our own itinerary. Some of our hosts had not seen what we saw of the countryside. We loved every minute.

Elisabeth, United States

Classic scotland & the orkney islands, april 2023, nordic visitor are helpful.

We appreciated having so many of the details sorted ahead of time for us. I love planning vacations, but for one with many stops like this, it was helpful to just know where we were staying, and not hassle myself. Also, we loved learning how much the B&B owners enjoy working with Nordic Visitor! Knowing that they were also having a great experience was reassuring.

Classic Scotland & Outer Hebrides, April 2023

All of the accommodation was great. The B&B owners were fantastic.

Louis, United States

Outlander experience, april 2023.

Our guide, Peter, was outstanding. He was friendly, professional, accommodating and knowledgeable. Everything you want in a guide and driver.

Scottish Highlands Classic, April 2023

Our travel consultant was great to work with.

Magda was great to work with and helped us refine our plans.

Nicole, United States

Classic scotland, march 2023, i look forward to using nordic visitor again.

We really liked the self driving tour concept. We were able to go at our own pace and choose the places we wanted to go on our own schedule. We went to a lot of the suggested sites but also did our share of wandering and found some really amazing things that we didn't even know existed. All of the hotel/B&B staff were really great. They gave dinner suggestions, helped us with restaurant bookings, directions and places to visit. Overall a really great trip and I look forward to using Nordic Visitor for trips to other countries.

Javier, United States

Scottish highlands & isle of skye - winter, february 2023, excellent service from nordic visitor.

I want to thank everyone that helped with the trip because it was an excellent service. I will recommend you to people I know, because all of Nordic Visitor's recommendations were great and the hotels and B&Bs were amazing. I will probably do another trip with you guys. I hope you expand your services to more countries.

Raymond, United States

Scottish highlands & isle of skye - winter, november 2022, beyond our expectations.

Everything was beyond our expectations. We had no worries, Nordic Visitor took care of all the small details I didn't even begin to think about.

Racheal, United States

The outlander trail, october 2022, nordic visitor made the experience so much better.

I am so happy we went through Nordic Visitor. The trip was so well planned and prepared that it made this travel experience so much better! I will definitely be using them again.

Johnson, United States

We had a wonderful time.

My mother and I had a wonderful time together driving around Scotland. Everywhere we stayed was very comfortable and clean and friendly.

Julio, United States

This is our second time using Nordic Visitor. Both times, in diferent countries, my wife and I had an excellent experience and vacations. I've never needed to call or email Nordic Visitor for an issue during my tour, but they will contact you to see if you need anything, which shows they care. Very smooth process and reliable staff that will make your vacations a dream. I will definitely use them again, and 100% recommend. Thank you!

Tyler, United States

Complete scotland, september 2022, we will absolutely use nordic visitor again.

This was our second tour with Nordic Visitor, with our first being Iceland in 2017. That first experience was stellar and we wanted to used Nordic Visitor again for Scotland this round since our first experience was so great. We really love the ability to go at our own pace, while getting tour and sight recommendations, and staying at unique, local properties. Scotland and the team we worked with for this tour did not disappoint! We were originally slated to go in April of 2020. Through it all Nordic Visitor and the team have been absolutely phenomenal, going well above and beyond anything we would have expected. Not only did they help us reschedule multiple times, they kept us updated with everything going on in the UK with the pandemic, and answered 100's of questions from us over the years. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that our original contracted amount for the trip was honoured, which was both unexpected but very appreciated. We will absolutely be using Nordic Visitor again in the future. We can't wait to use these services again! Huge and special shoutout to the Scotland Nordic Visitor Team, especially Rebecca - she stuck through all this with us for over 2 years and made the overall experience spectacular!

Ed, United States

Everything we needed.

Everything we needed to enjoy our trip and itinerary was included.

Suzanne, United States

So wonderful.

The overall tour was more than we could have expected. We both had a wonderful time and enjoyed the places and people we met and interacted with. Our hosts were all so wonderful! And so was the car hire; we were very happy with everything! The only thing we would have changed is the timing of receiving the booking information. We like to try and plan well in advance when travelling and wish we could have had this information sooner. That being said, during the trip we both commented on how we would be happy to go through Nordic Visitor for other trips we plan on taking. You guys really put together a wonderful package. Thank you so much!

Christopher, United States

North coast 500 escape & the isle of skye, september 2022, truly special.

Rebecca booked the best accommodation for us for our special elopement trip and added subtle touches that made our trip truly special!

Kari, United States

We loved our tour.

We loved our Scotland tour. The B&B hosts were incredible. I loved having the autonomy to "choose our own adventure" but have some structure at the same time. We were so pleased with the Scotland tour that we are already booking other tours and sharing Nordic Visitor with our friends.

Wonderful experience!

Wonderful experience. Would recommend Nordic Visitor to friends and family and would use again

Wonders of Scotland, June 2022

Going on a small group tour was much better than trying to do the drive ourselves..

We booked our tour of Scotland with Nordic Visitor based on a past experience on a tour in Iceland. We loved both of them. The itinerary was well planned and covered a lot of different parts of the country. Guides were well informed and lots of fun. Our hotels were top-notch. Going on a small group tour was much better than trying to do the drive ourselves. We could relax and enjoy the scenery, something we could not have done if we had to concentrate on driving.

Complete Scotland, May 2022

Nordic visitor did an amazing job.

Nordic Visitor did an amazing job of eliminating all of the leg work before our three-week road trip around Scotland. They booked all of the hotels and ferries, secured our Historic Scotland passes, and provided detailed recommendations for restaurants, tours, and activities in every single destination on our tour. The biggest complication of our trip was that we needed three rooms in each overnight destination to accommodate a family of five. Nordic Visitor made easy work of this and I was extremely impressed by the results. Rebecca, our personal concierge, was incredibly thoughtful and accommodating, and was extremely helpful in assisting us before and during our visit. I would definitely use Nordic Visitor for future travels and highly recommend them to others.

Bianca, United States

Classic scotland & outer hebrides, october 2019, fantastic trip.

3rd time we have used NV and will continue to do so!

Scottish Highlands & Isle of Skye, October 2019

Great trip.

All of the hotels had great food and people. Response time was excellent -  Agnes was very attentive. The packets were wonderful, we referred to them constantly. The big map was very helpful as well.

Nadine, United States

Grand tour of scotland, july 2019, we enjoyed the trip immensely.

We thought the daily itinerary was very well planned - several stops that were never more than 45 minutes from one another and never too overly ambitious. The recommendations for places to stop for refreshments were also very good. The itinerary also distinguished between the 'must see' and the 'if you have time'. It was obvious that the itineray was prepared by someone who was extremely familiar with the sites. We enjoyed the trip immensely. It was better than we hoped it would be.

Earl, United States

Scottish highlands & the isles, september 2018, don't miss the opportunity to experience the best of scotland.

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with Nordic on their "Scottish Highlands and the Isles" tour. It was everything we could have imagined and more. Don't miss the opportunity to experience the best of Scotland with the best tour agency.

Laura, United States

Complete scotland, august 2018, we were very impressed.

AMAZING. We stayed in hotels we probably would not have booked on our own and the host were fabulous and told us that Annie was a pleasure to work with when booking our stay. All the hotels knew who we were and expected us. When our ferry got cancelled Annie made sure to call the hotel and notify us of a change of plans and gave us a very detailed route and got in contact with our next hotel to notify them that we would be late. We were very impressed!

Kay, United States

Outlander experience, july 2018, great experience.

Totally great experience! Our driver/guide was great and a lot of fun and made the trip so much fun. Everything went very smoothly and everyone was very nice and helpful.

Timothy, United States

Incredibly helpful.

Annie was amazing! She put together a fantastic package. We visited Annie in Edinburgh before and after we traveled the country. She was incredibly helpful.

Alicia, United States

Sarah, our travel consultant, was very helpful and was quick to respond to any questions. We have used Nordic Visitor to travel to Iceland as well and we have had a great experience with both Scotland and Iceland.

Philip & Colleen, United States

Isle of skye exclusive, june 2018, pleasant, knowledgeable, creative and conscious he found ways to make the sights and their history come alive.

Stephen was our guide for the tour and was a huge reason we give the tour high marks. Pleasant, knowledgeable, creative and conscious he found ways to make the sights and their history come alive. He is a great representative for you and for Scotland!

Ellen, United States

Classic scotland, may 2018, thoroughly enjoyed our vacation.

We're very happy with the service and the overall plan, and thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. We appreciated the organization and care that went into planning it for us.

Samuel D.M. Keys III, United States

Isle of skye exclusive, october 2017, excellent service.

I am telling all my friends about the excellent service and value i got from my tour with Nordic Visitor! Kerr was my travel guide. I was very lucky to get such a knowledgeable guide. I am proud to say i can call him my friend, and when i return i will ask for him by name!

Jean, United States

Couldn't have been happier.

Hotels were all excellent.  Wonderful service at each place.  Couldn't have been happier. This was a stress free trip because of the planning provided by Annie. I was able to review things to do with our kids so they could pick out the things that they wanted to do and see while visiting Scotland. It was nice to have a list of options to pick from.  Every day was great.  I especially loved the map with the highlighted routes, hotels and points of interest.  While filling up the car, I got out to unfold the entire map and flip it over so we could see the upper section of Scotland.  My daughter told me that people were looking at me as I did this.  I told her they had map envy!

Brad, United States

Classic scotland, july 2017, results were world class.

From first visit to website through planning, the experience and results were world class.

Loved the travel guide

We recently visited Scotland using Nordic Visitor’s Classic Scotland drive yourself tour, and I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed it. All of the hotels were wonderful, and the staff was so nice. Everything was in order, and there were no glitches with any of our reservations. We especially loved the travel guide — the itineraries were well laid out and we made good use of the suggested highlights and optional activities. We will definitely recommend Nordic Visitor to any friends who may be considering this type of trip.

Most incredible experience on honeymoon

Mollie, united states, organization couldn't have been better.

We're just on the train back from Edinburgh, and wanted to say a big thank you for all your help organising our trip!

We had an amazing time travelling round Scotland, and all the organization couldn't have been better. Everything went so smoothly - all the information you provided was so detailed and really helped us make the most of our trip. And all the accommodation was just amazing!!

We've had such a great time, thank you again for all your help! I will definitely recommend Nordic Visitor to my friends!

Best wishes,

Kenneth, United States

Very helpful.

Duncan was an excellent help. Very helpful, prompt and personable.

Well organised tour

The tour was well organised and the itinerary recommendations and site guide were great references but also left us freedom to customise on our own, although the rain "dampened" (pun intended) the experience.

Everett, United States

Absolutely amazing.

Our trip was absolutely amazing! It was great to be able to leave the more difficult parts of travelling to the experts. We were satisfied with almost all of the places where we had stayed. Our favourite accommodation was The Marmalade Hotel. The facility was beautiful and clean. The staff was super friendly and made our stay even better. One thing to call out about Portree is the lack of places to eat. Not sure how we missed this but we were completely unaware that we needed reservations at any restaurant prior to arriving in Portree. Other than a couple of hiccups, we absolutely loved our trip.

Greg, United States

Five star experience.

Nordic Visitor created the perfect Scotland itinerary with the perfect guide, driver, accommodation and overall experiences. Highly recommend, 5/5!

Pete, United States

Excellent tour. Friendly guide, bus driver and other customers on tour.

Daniel, United States

Freedom to explore.

We really enjoyed the freedom to explore that this tour offered.

Jonathan, United States

Duncan was amazing to work with, super responsive and kind. Want to thank him for arranging everything, and being flexible mid tour to accommodate us when we had a request for change of venue. The rental car was great and we added upgrades for a more personalised experience that fit seamlessly into the original plans. The itinerary provided for us was used throughout the trip, as well.

Well arranged tour

Chris, our travel consultant, was always available, helpful and efficient. We did not need anything else during our tour because everything was so well arranged. I have already recommended Nordic Visitor to a good number of people.

Jon, United States

Great arrangements and routing.

The perfect trip

The perfect trip. We felt so confident having the entire trip planned out for us, since we were just there for a short period of time. We will absolutely be using them again for future vacations.

The best guide ever!

It would have been helpful to receive the heavy tour book prior to travel. We lugged it from place to place. Andy was the best guide ever! Outstanding source of info, very entertaining throughout the trip!

Well-organised tour

Great communication, well-organised, very knowledgeable and personable guide, overall a great tour with no negatives whatsoever!

Frederick, United States

Fabulous tour guide.

Our tour guide, Dan, and driver were fabulous. Nobody brought up a subject that Dan was not fully prepared for. His wealth of knowledge is an excellent resource in Nordic Visitor.

Katelyn, United States

Amazing tour guide.

Holly was an amazing guide who helped us navigate Scotland with ease.

Classic Scotland - Private, June 2023

Our experience was so special.

Airport transfers were excellent. Drivers were on time and friendly. Accommodation was all good. You couldn't have paired our family with a better guide/driver than Dave. He made our Scotland experience so special by taking us off the beaten path and showing us some of the most beautiful natural sites and places in Scotland. We covered 1000 miles in distance in our 7 days. We learned so much from Dave.

Don, United States

Scottish highlands classic, june 2023, we would go again in a heartbeat.

My son and I were guided across Scotland by folks who live there. The itinerary was just what we needed. We covered more territory in ten days, saw several sites per day, and did much more than we might have planned by ourselves. From the friendly folks at the car rental, to the sailors on the ferries, back to the last cab driver in Edinburgh, we were treated so well and in such a friendly manner that we would go again in a heartbeat!

Shavonne, United States

Seamless process.

We did a self-drive tour including the Orkney islands. The entire process from booking to flying home was seamless. Our accommodation was all amazing, especially the B&Bs. Our daily itineraries were great starting points for activities, and none of our days felt rushed or slow. We also appreciated the restaurant and travel guides. Scotland is amazing, and Nordic Visitor made the entire vacation worry-free.

Andrew, United States

The tour package materials were top notch. Spiral bound itinerary, recommended activities, restaurant recommendations and the large-scale road map of Scotland were a nice touch. Magdalena, our Nordic Visitor representative, responded promptly to our questions. Accomodation was all great.

Enjoyed the itinerary

We enjoyed the itinerary planned out for us by Nordic Visitor. The suggestion of activities and sights to see helped us plan our daily trips. The detailed map also assisted us greatly when driving through Scotland. Thank you.

Special birthday surprise!

Thank you for the extra surprise waiting in our hotel in honor of a special birthday!

Amber, United States

Scottish highlands express - private, june 2023, wonderful memories.

We made many wonderful memories with our family! The views and service at all the accommodation were wonderful.

Calvin, United States

The best vacation ever!

Fabulous trip

Absolutely fabulous trip. Highly recommend it. Extremely surprised how well everything was coordinated.

Victoria, United States

Everything went as planned.

Everything went exactly as planned, there were no hiccups or issues along the way. All questions prior to our tour were answered quickly. Our drivers were all on time and friendly. All the accommodation was clean and staff were very friendly.

Scottish Highlands Express - Private, May 2023

A stress-free and seamless trip.

Travelling with Nordic Visitor made our trip stress-free and seamless. We enjoyed all the parts of our trip and appreciated our guide's suggestions for little added adventures along the way. We felt like we fit so much into just one week.

Dawn, United States

First-rate service.

We felt like we were the only clients they had - first-rate in every way.

Pleased with our tour

We were overall pleased with the tour. It being our first visit to Scotland, it made the trip much easier to handle. Rebecca was very helpful and prompt with answering questions.

Kara, United States

Trip of a lifetime.

This was the trip of a lifetime and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Bethany, United States

Perfect vacation.

For our 50th wedding anniversary, we trusted Nordic Visitor to make our vacation a memorable one, and they made it beyond special. Chris, our tour planner, did everything to accommodate our needs and answered our questions quickly. It was an absolutely perfect vacation!

Great tour, good support when things did not work out as planned, good people working for you. Eve was great. The accommodation was all great, wonderful people. Some places we got to and some we did not, but we had a wonderful time and will recommend you folks to everyone, as well as see you in the future.

North Coast 500 Escape & The Orkney Islands, May 2023

The entire trip was wonderful!

Voula, United States

Our guide was exceptional.

Our overall experience was very good, minus some accommodation that we did not like as much as the others. What made the tour exceptional was our guide, Dave. His knowledge of Scotland and professionalism made the trip. He was awesome about tailoring each day's itinerary to our likes and taking us off the beaten path to experiences and sights that we would never have found on our own.

Kelsie, United States

The most magical trip.

From communicating with Nordic Visitor, booking my trip, arriving at the airport and be welcomed by our driver Paul, each hotel, every meal, our amazing tour guide, Anita, our drivers, Gary and Stevie… everything was so perfect! It was the most magical trip! 

Ashish, United States

Outstanding country, great tour.

Scotland is truly outstanding. Wouldn't mind visiting again. Much enjoyed the tour except the hotel in Skye.

Very good accommodation

The accommodation was all very good and the people very friendly. The route could have been a little better defined as well as certain sights that should be seen.

Kimberley, United States

Amazing experience.

We had an amazing experience with Nordic Visitor! Our guides, Richard and Tim, were organised, knowledgeable, and very friendly! You can tell quality and customer satisfaction are very important. We will be back!

Marcey, United States

The whole experience was a delight.

From our first contact with Nordic Visitor, the whole experience was a delight. Duncan, our travel consultant, was easy to reach and very responsive to answer questions and to provide any information we needed. I had not booked a tour online before, but was very surprised and grateful at how professional the team was and how easy they made it.  

They even helped us book a couple of extra days at the beginning of our trip so that we could get over jet lag and explore Edinburgh more. The notes and maps and individualised itinerary they sent us made the trip a delight.  

Once we started the tour, our guide, Andy, was spectacular. He was very knowledgeable about history, locations and events. He also was very entertaining, charming and funny. After the tour, he provided the group with a playlist of the music we listened to while travelling, recommended books and movies about Scottish history. We are already recommending Nordic Visitor to everyone we know who wants to travel to Scotland. In our small tour group, some of the folks had used Nordic Visitor in the past and had such a great experience they were using them again. We will be doing the same. It was a trip of a lifetime and went way beyond our hopes or expectations for what we saw and were able to experience.

Susy, United States

One of the best vacations we have ever had.

We had the best experience on all levels! I highly recommend Nordic Visitor. This was one of the best vacations we have ever had, and we do travel a lot. Typically I like to do all of the planning, but this time I didn't and I was so glad I left it to Nordic Visitor. Very impressed!

Nordic Visitor took the stress out of the trip

I love that using Nordic Visitor took the stress out of planning, finding hotels and planning the driving. It made for a fun adventure.

Nordic Visitor made it so easy!

Working with Nordic Visitor was so easy. They followed through on everything we requested and put together our itinerary without a lot of back and forth to get what we wanted. All of the accommodation was clean, safe and centrally located in the cities we stayed in.

Jenni, United States

Express scotland - private, april 2023.

Our tour guide was fantastic. I wish I would have been told more about what to expect before we travelled, though.

Katherine, United States

Classic scotland - private, april 2023, i felt taken care of.

From the moment we landed in Scotland, I felt comfortable and taken care of. Brenda was exceptional at her job and made the whole trip magical. I have already recommended your company to others.

Rosanne, United States

Edinburgh complete - loch ness, highlands & glasgow - winter, march 2023, our travel consultant was great.

We worked with Rebecca in planning our tour. She was very prompt in answering our questions. Her hotel recommendations were very worthwhile. Our documents arrived in a very timely manner. She also left extra tour information at the hotel for when we checked in.

Brett, United States

Edinburgh complete - loch ness, highlands & glasgow - winter, january 2023, everything was taken care of.

Made my trip so much easier! Everything was taken care of and I did not have to worry about a thing! Very professional service!

Jana, United States

Absolutely wonderful.

Our trip was absolutely wonderful! Magda was great to work with and helped us through the whole process. Everyone we worked with from the beginning through the end of the trip was absolutely marvellous.

Pam, United States

Ultimate journey of scotland, october 2022.

This is the second time we have used Nordic Visitor to book a trip for us. We love the way all the research on where to go, where to stay, and what to do is already done for us! Accommodation is always excellent, the daily drives are reasonable, and there is a great tour book of activities for each day. We have recommended Nordic Visitor to many other people, both online and in person. Thanks for another great trip!

Bernita, United States

Classic scotland, october 2022, the best vacation i've ever taken.

I've told everyone who asked that I would 100% recommend this company. It was the best vacation I've ever taken. Accommodation, rental car, transfers, all exceptional.

Anna, United States

Classic scotland & outer hebrides, september 2022, an outstanding experience.

Overall, it was an outstanding memorable experience even though the weather decided to keep us from walking your beautiful white sand beaches.

Ann, United States

It was wonderful.

Great trip! It was wonderful working with Eve, and Chris on the emergency line found us a great last-minute B&B to stay in when we left Harris early due to a pending storm!

Lawrence, United States

Nordic visitor really helped us.

We did an extended version of the "Grand Tour of Scotland". It was all we hoped for and everything went as smoothly as silk. All connections were accurate. Every accommodation was expecting us. All the people were wonderful. This was our first trip with a tour company. We usually make these plans ourselves but felt overwhelmed planning for a three-week trip. Nordic Visitor really helped us. We felt a high degree of personal attention to our questions and needs. The staff answered all of our questions during the process of developing the itinerary. We felt as though the staff had first hand experience with all the sites we intended to visit and shared their experiences. We communicated with Nordic Visitor entirely by email. Most replies to email required at least two days, however, the replies were always courteous and thorough and friendly and helpful.

Martha, United States

I highly recommend nordic visitor.

We worked with Chris nine months prior to the trip. He made the process easy and returned emails in a timely manner. Everything he said would be provided was as he said. I highly recommend your company! The accommodations were wonderful, we loved everything! Excellent experience. The car was ready at the rental company, the car was excellent quality. The museum/castle pass worked well and was handy.

I would highly recommend this tour!

The tour was excellent. The information provided was detailed and helpful and the accommodation was fantastic. While on the tour it was wonderful to have someone we could call to help with any issues. I would highly recommend this tour!

Peggy, United States

Our guide did a fantastic job.

Our guide did a fantastic job finding smaller stops that met our interests as a group when time allowed. We spent quite a bit of time travelling in the van to reach our destinations each day but the places we visited were worth the trip for me. Beautiful country and kind, gracious people.

Highlights of Scotland, June 2022

Wonderful time in scotland.

We had a wonderful time touring Scotland. Our guide was fabulous; knowledgeable and witty (and a good driver over "dodgy" roads). Also enjoyed tales from Brian our second guide. Overnight accommodation were first rate, food was varied and delicious. Enjoyed the remoteness of several places, hotel downtown Inverness not so much.

Judith, United States

We had a great time.

My friend and I had a great time. We chose this tour with Nordic Visitor as it met our qualifications with length, places visited and size of travel group.

Matt K, United States

Wonderful trip.

Once in the tour, we realized everything was simple and working out as planned. No issues. It was wonderful!

Crystal, United States

Classic scotland & the orkney islands, september 2019.

Thank you so much! Our experience in Scotland was wonderful! We felt prepared for what to expect, particularly as it relates to making dinner reservations on the islands we visited. The food recommendations were excellent , the accommodations were cozy, and the recommendations for sites and attractions greatly appreciated. A special thank you to Agne who answered all my inquiries, helped us make dinner reservations and confirmed all our dates and meeting times - she was a pleasure to work with!  

Great tour with a local expert

Seeing things through the eyes of a Scot who passionately loves his county and history.

The Outlander Trail, September 2018

I cannot say enough good things about nordic visitor.

I cannot say enough good things about Nordic Visitor. Information given was thorough, accommodations were very comfortable (very friendly hosts) and tourist sights suggestions were incredibly helpful. Agne did a wonderful job! I highly would recommend her to anyone. If anyone has any doubts about booking with Nordic Visitor I would simply suggest reading the reviews...You'll find that the positive reviews are accurate!

Linda, United States

Express scotland, august 2018, thanks for a great trip.

We had a very successful trip and I attribute a lot of this to the preparations put into place by Nordic. It was nice to know everything was laid out for us and a map highlighted with our trip and hotels marked was a great thing to have.  Also, the suggestions of things we might like to see was great!! Once again, thanks for a great trip!

Wilson, United States

You guys are the best and truly have a good grasp of what you are doing.

Please increase your reach to other destination sites! You guys are the best and truly have a good grasp of what you are doing. We would like to go world wide only with Nordic Visitor... though, I guess it wouldn't be called Nordic Visitor then! lol, but seriously, if would be great! :)

Pleased with everything

We were very pleased with everything. All of the guesthouses were lovely.

Very satisfied

This is my second tour with Nordic Visitor. I am very satisfied with the tours offered, the service provided by the travel agent, the hotels booked, travel itinerary and material provided.

Stephanie, United States

We couldn't have been more pleased.

We had a wonderful time on our private tour with Brian. He is an exceptional guide. He shared an extensive knowledge of Scotland, and made the country come alive. We saw more with him than we would have on our own, and we felt that he catered the tour to make sure that we saw what we wanted to see. We couldn't have been more pleased! The folks with Nordic were exceptional over all, and we look forward to booking another tour with your company in the future.

Paula, United States

Grand tour of scotland, april 2018, absolutely wonderful.

Overall, our experience with Nordic Visitor was absolutely wonderful. Christoph Glauche went over and above in his efforts to answer all of my questions and provided me with websites and other suggestions to help me plan the tour that was best for us. We stopped by the office in Edinburgh to meet him since I had corresponded with him for months. He was just as sweet and helpful in person.

Daphne, United States

Express scotland, september 2017, we had a wonderful trip.

All of the hotels were perfect! It was a pleasure to work with Annie. She made arrangements for an extra 5 night stay. We had a wonderful trip thanks to her. We couldn't have done the driving without the GPS in the rental car.

Outstanding. Very pleased with the personal touch.

Ali, United States

Express scotland, june 2017, we loved everything.

We loved everything! Very good quality.

Everything was amazing!

Scottish highlands & the isles, august 2016, third tour with nordic visitor.

The hotels/guesthouses booked were fantastic. The hosts at each location were incredibly welcoming and made our stay wonderful. Our contact at Nordic Visitor, Christoph, was thorough and helpful in accommodating needs for our trip and was a great help in planning the trip. I am thrilled to use Nordic Visitor for my Scandinavian travels. This was our third tour using the company and I can't rave enough about how great the trips have been. I recommend Nordic Visitor to all friends and colleagues interested in traveling to supported countries.

Brenee and Lee, United States

Orkney & the highlands, july 2016, couldn't be more thrilled with everything.

Oh my gosh! We had the BEST time, and Maria did an all around FABULOUS job!  All the hotels were very nice, clean, comfortable and had lovely views!..I appreciated that all hotels had a tea kettle in the room to make hot water, and nice hair dryers.

We really enjoyed the book that you put together for our trip with suggested sites. It was very helpful. If it only came with a time management button it would be incredible, haha! We totally missed the sights in Inverness because we spent too much time at a castle and then things were closed. Maybe including hours of sites would be helpful. We did get better as we went!

The North Link ferry was so fun. This was a wonderful experience, with a restaurant, observation decks, a store, comfy chairs....Etc. Going to Orkney Island was so worth it; actually one of our favorite places, along with the Highlands, Glencoe area, Edinburgh castle....maybe we have too many favorites..) 

For food, it was interesting. We found great restaurants (Rollo and the Smoo Cave Hotel restaurant come to mind as delicious!), and luckily we stopped at a grocery store several times for easy food to be able to eat whenever.

As far as driving, it was fine and nice to be on our schedule. The single track roads in the highlands worked out fine... We drove 1,235 miles, saw wonderful sites, hiked amazing places, took thousands of pics and couldn't be more thrilled with everything that Nordic Visitor planned and prepared for us! We have several people that were interested in our opinion after our trip, and we will certainly be giving Nordic Visitor a fabulous endorsement, and Maria of course! Thank you so much for an unforgettable epic trip!

Scotland FAQ's

When you picture Scotland, you might think of a nation of warriors and independent-minded people, and you`d be right. As a result of many wars, Scotland became heavily fortified, and over 2,000 castles were built in the last thousand years. Edinburgh Castle is the most-visited, and hundreds more are open to visitors across the country. Due to this resilient tradition, the Scottish Gaelic culture and language are fiercely protected and prized, and you can see that in everything from summer festivals to the Highland Games to folk music (best enjoyed with a pint at one of Scotland`s many pubs ). You can learn more about the Scottish way of life through the centuries at the numerous rural history museums scattered throughout the country. Scotland is a beautiful country and it is well-known not just for its great hiking opportunities, but also for mountain biking, boating , and winter sports such as skiing . If you like beaches , Scotland has so many breathtaking stretches of coastline, with the majority of them located on the west coast. It`s also great to simply experience the geographic splendor around you, to be one with nature, perhaps on a windy cliffside or under a gorgeous waterfall. You can find great scenery on the mainland and on the islands such as the Hebrides, Orkneys , and Shetlands . No trip to Scotland would be complete without shopping -- authentic Scottish-made goods can be purchased in various shops throughout the country, but if it`s luxury goods you`re after, go to the High Streets of Glasgow and Edinburgh .

The central corridor is the most densely-populated part of Scotland, and it is the most popular with tourists as well. On the western end you have Glasgow , located on the River Clyde. On the eastern end, there is Edinburgh , situated south of the Firth of Forth. The cities and towns of Central Scotland and The Lothians must be explored if you have extra days in the area; we definitely recommend Perth , Stirling , and Loch Lomond , just for starters! Another area popular with tourists is the Scottish Highlands , known for its strong Gaelic cultural traditions, and its natural beauty, where mountains cascade down to lochs (lakes) and valleys. The capital is Inverness , with its beautiful historic center; after setting aside time to explore Inverness, tourists typically visit such sights in the Highlands as the Cairngorm Mountains , Loch Ness , Fort William , and Ullapool , among other locales. While you are in the Highlands, consider exploring further afield and visiting the beautiful cities of Aberdeen and Dundee , or perhaps a day trip to the Isle of Skye , in the Inner Hebrides just off the northwestern coast near Kyle of Lochalsh . If you are en route to England at the end of your Scotland adventure and traveling by car, consider driving through Southern Scotland , where the picturesque Scottish Border region and Dumfries and Galloway are located.

Scotland is a country of bonnie (great) natural beauty. The best time to visit Scotland is during the shoulder season , when the weather is cooler (but not too cold), many hotels offer discounted rates, and lines at attractions are smaller. This season happens between the middle of March and early June , as well as the month of October . The high season begins in June and continues through September . From November through early March , Scotland enters the low season , and it can become quite cold; snow is not uncommon. Its weather pattern tends to be wetter in the west than in the east. The west sees an average of 265 days of rain per year, while the eastern coast only sees about 165 days of rain per year. Temperatures tend to stay within the same five-degree temperature range in the south of the country, while the north is a few degrees colder. Temperatures reach their peak in the summer months when highs are in the 60s and 70s throughout the country. The Shetland Islands, and to a lesser extent the Hebrides and the Orkneys, are regulated by the Atlantic trade winds and are cool year-round but not as cold as the mainland at night. For more information, check out: Best Time to Visit Scotland .

We recommend 7-10 days based on what you want to see and do. We offer flexible vacation packages so you can select your number of nights in each city, desired hotel and activities. We suggest a minimum of 3 nights in larger cities.

Scotland, like the rest of the United Kingdom, has a heavily developed infrastructure, with thousands of miles of roads and rail lines combined. Ease of travel and access is the same as in the United States, if not a little bit easier! You can either drive or travel by train to different parts of Scotland. Ferries are important as well and connect the mainland with the islands just offshore. By Car: Driving is a great way to experience Scotland, especially if you have time to spare to explore the breathtaking countryside. Distances between cities can be long by UK standards, but even in the Highlands you shouldn`t drive a couple of hours without at least passing through a handful of villages. It is 41 miles between Edinburgh and Glasgow, and since it is the most densely-populated part of Scotland, perhaps it is best to utilize the trains in this part of the country, and to leave your driving for areas to the south and north. For more information on getting around by car, check out: Driving in Scotland . By Train: Traveling by train is a great way to see all corners of Scotland. Scotland`s train service is administered by Transport Scotland and ScotRail. ScotRail trains connect all portions of the country, up to the northern Highland towns of Thurso and Wick, and down past Glasgow and Edinburgh into southern Scotland, where service is sparser. Main passenger and daily commuter train lines connect the heavily-populated inner corridor between Glasgow and Edinburgh. ScotRail lines work in conjunction with National Rail to connect Scotland with England via two train lines, the West Coast Route from Glasgow Queen Street Station to London via Carlisle and Preston, and the East Coast Route from Edinburgh Waverley Station to York and London via Newcastle-upon-Tyne. By Ferry: Ferries connect the mainland with the Hebrides off the coast of northwestern Scotland, and to the Orkney Islands off the northeastern coast. There are also a handful of routes that connect the islands of the Hebrides with one another. Ferries leave from Oban, Mallaig, and Ullapool to the various islands in the Hebrides; there are also ferries running between Scrabster (west of Thurso) to Stromness in the Orkney Islands. There is a bus that runs from Thurso train station to the ferry port in Scrabster. Buses also connect Inverness to Ullapool and Kyle of Lochalsh to Uig on the Isle of Skye. (The Skye Bridge is the biggest land connection from the mainland to the Hebrides.)

Scotland, like the other constituent nations of the United Kingdom, uses the pound sterling (£). Both Scotland and England print their own pound notes; they are both legal tender in Scotland. US dollars are not accepted. Please be sure to have the correct currency on hand or be prepared to exchange your dollars for pounds upon arrival. As mentioned before, there is no need to exchange your English pounds for Scottish pound notes upon arriving in Scotland. Currency exchange desks can be found at the airport and many locations throughout the country. For more detailed information, consult our guide by clicking here Tipping in the United Kingdom .

The tour itself was great and our guide, Nick, was excellent. However, the accommodations that were booked for us were sub-standard. Filthy and outdated. I would not book again unless I could arrange my own accommodations since it almost spoiled our trip. I have pictures of one of the hotels if you are interested.

The tour was better than I expected! I usually prefer solo travel for the freedom it offers, but this time, I felt I got more from the tour than if I had gone solo. Tim is an amazing storyteller. If he made a podcast about Scotland, I'd totally listen. I learned a lot, the plan was flexible, and Tim really listened to what we wanted. The hostels were in cool places and were super comfy. The whole tour felt friendly and chill, especially that night by the fire with the guitar. Thanks!

Bonnie Scotland Tour

Bonnie Scotland

We had an amazing trip with our guide Andrew and driver Davie. Andrew shared the history of the places we visited and kept us entertained with his unique sense of humour. We enjoyed the beauty of the Scottish countryside dotted with sheep and the occasional “Hairy Coo”. Highlights were Culloden, Dunottar Castle, Palace of Scone and the evening of Scottish music and dance.

Country Roads of Scotland (Classic, 9 Days) Tour

Country Roads of Scotland (Classic, 9 Days)

The tour by Insight Vacations, Country Roads of Scotland, surpassed our expectations. Hosts at hotels did everything to ensure a smooth and quick check-in and a comfortable stay (knowing in advance that the rooms might be smaller than some travelers are used to was helpful). The food was good overall with lots of choices and variety. The coach was very roomy, lots of space and very comfortable. Peter (tour director) and Steve (driver) worked together as a great team and were always available to assist, answer questions or provide insights.

A Scottish Journey Tour

This was our first overseas trip and we could not have asked for a better experience! The tour guide, Rob Carr, was excellent - so knowledgeable, humorous and so caring about all of our group. He added so much with his stories and when we had bad weather, he was adept at changing things on the fly and taking us to see the sights off the beaten path. The tour featured a great mix of Scottish history, beautiful scenery and good fellowship between the other folks on the trip.

Isle Of Skye And The Highlands Tour

Isle Of Skye And The Highlands

Our tour guide Cara was great! She's a true Scott and very knowledgeable when it comes to the landscape and history. Skye Inn accommodation was okay but room was too small for three people. Also dinner portions are far too small for the price paid. We were disappointed that our afternoon ride on the Jakobite steam train was cancelled- if the tour was scheduled in the morning instead, we could have had the tour.

Guide Margerie and Driver Allister excellent. The tour occasionally strenuous; bus rides whole day. Bus quite confortable; Wi-Fi appreciated. Expected more meals included. Big Tour group - 44 Pax - a bit too many for my taste. When I inquired I was told max will be 35.....for me more acceptable. Hotel's fine except Isle of Skye: "Dunollie"- I had a claustrophobic room; no idea where to put my suitcase. After all the add. single room supplement is not little. Itinerary very interesting.

Scotland Coach / Bus Tour Reviews

Our tour driver was fantastic! Frazier had a way about him that made the history, fork lore and stories come to life. He made the trip very pleasant. This is saying a lot. Our four day venture included an unusual amount of rain. That area had more rain in 24 hours than a usual month. After being out in the cold and wet countryside, our hotel had no water. We had to repack, haul our luggage back down the stairs, get in a cab, and check into another hotel at 8:00 at night. No elevator ... had to haul my heavy ass luggage up three flights of stairs .... again. I am a 70 year old woman. After all of that, we found out that my friend and I paid almost $300 more than the others on the tour. We bought our tickets through Tour Radar. The others got their tickets from Rabbie's.
Amazing tour with brilliant scenery. Our tour guide Neil was super knowledgable and a funny story teller. A highlight for me was The Old Man of Store hike.
Absolutely loved this trip! Wish you had more local tours in the UK like that.

About Booking This Tour

Travel Documents

If you are a U.S. citizen traveling internationally, you will need a passport valid for six months after the completion of your Tauck journey to enter the United Kingdom; however, you do not need a visa for the short duration of this tour.

If you are a citizen of another country traveling internationally, you should contact an embassy or consulate of the United Kingdom to determine what travel documentation is required.

Please note that longer stays abroad for any purpose may require additional travel documentation.

We recommend that you make at least two photocopies of all the travel documents that you bring with you. Include copies of the photo page of your passport that contains the date of issuance, the date of expiration and your citizenship. Secure one set of copies in the safe in your room while traveling and leave one set behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your documents are misplaced, lost or stolen.

TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN AS A GUARDIAN: If you are traveling as the guardian of a child/children, we strongly suggest that you carry a letter from both parents of the child authorizing emergency treatment in the event of illness or accident. For travel abroad, many foreign countries have specific entry requirements for children under 21 who are traveling internationally without BOTH parents. (These requirements are in response to the increased incidence of children being abducted and taken abroad.) PLEASE NOTE THAT TAUCK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE for the disruption of travel caused by improper documentation for children traveling without both parents.

Travel Protection Plan

Effective for plans purchased as of July 1, 2021:

Tauck's Guest Protection

Tauck's Guest Protection provides you with cancellation protection before your journey begins as well as insurance benefits while you are traveling. Guest Protection includes the following:

Cancellation Waiver – Provided by Tauck:

Under Tauck's Cancellation Fee Waiver you can cancel your tour for ANY REASON up to the day before departure and receive a money-back refund (except in Extreme Circumstances*) on the land tour cost, based on your original method of payment.

*Extreme Circumstances:  In the event of an act of God, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, accident, natural disaster, outbreak of disease, or other event or circumstance beyond our control that contributes to or results in cancellation rates above our historical cancellation rates in the absence of such event or occurrence, Tauck reserves the right to issue a credit to you in lieu of a money-back refund, applicable to a future Tauck journey.

Travel Insurance Benefits – Underwritten by United States Fire Insurance Company.

  • Trip Cancellation –  If you must cancel your tour due to a covered reason, the plan provides coverage for the amount you paid for your travel arrangements. Since the non-insurance cancellation waiver takes care of the land package cancellation fees already, this benefit reimburses the airfare cancellation charges up to the value of your original airfare purchase.
  • Trip Interruption –  If you have to interrupt your tour for covered reasons, the plan provides reimbursement to catch up to your tour or return home.
  • Travel Delay –  Provides reimbursement for missed, prepaid travel arrangements if you are delayed by a common carrier, natural disaster, unannounced strike, or other reasons as cited in the plan.
  • Medical Expense –  Reimburses covered medical expenses incurred in the event you become injured or sick during your trip. 
  • Baggage / Personal Effects Protection –  Provides reimbursement in the event your luggage or personal effects are, lost, stolen, damaged or delayed during your trip.
  • Worldwide Emergency Assistance Services –  Provided by Carefree Travel Assistance; 24-hour emergency telephone assistance hotline for medical and travel related problems.

The cost of Tauck's Guest Protection is: $449  per person

This protection provides insurance coverage that applies only during the covered trip. You may have coverage from other sources that provides you with similar benefits but may be subject to different restrictions depending upon your other coverages. You may wish to compare the terms of this policy with your existing life, health, home and automobile policies. If you have any questions about your current coverage, call your insurer, insurance agent or broker.

This optional Guest Protection must be requested at time of booking and fee must be included with initial payment. Fees are based on costs as of July 1, 2021, and are subject to change. Details will be provided with written confirmation of your tour reservation. Guest Protection does not protect travel agent commissions. Reimbursements will be made according to original method of payment. The amount of any refund shall be reduced by any recoveries obtained by you from any third parties.

The Guest Protection plan waives cancellation fees outlined below, provided we are notified of cancellation before your tour departs. Tour cancellation fees are waived regardless of reason, without written notice, and Tauck will refund land tour cost.

To obtain your state-specific Certificate of Insurance that contains the complete terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of the certificate, visit  affinitytravelcert.com/docs/TACGPPINTL .

If You Have To Cancel

If you cancel within 10 days of initial deposit Within the first 10 days after you place your initial deposit, you may cancel your reservation for any reason with no cancellation fees. If you cancel more than 10 days after initial deposit Regardless of reason, cancellations result in costly charges from our travel and hotel providers covering penalties and fees incurred by canceling confirmed bookings. These fees vary from tour to tour. Therefore, the following fees apply.

Cancellation Fees with Tauck's Guest Protection Plan:

Loss of Guest Protection fee, per person 

Cancellation Fees without Tauck's Guest Protection Plan :

60 days or more before departure = $600 per person

59-8 days before departure = $900 per person

7-1 days before departure = $1500 per person

Time of cancellation will be when notice is received in our Wilton Woods, CT office.

In the event of an unforeseen circumstance beyond our control, Tauck reserves the right to amend the cancellation terms outlined herein.

Note:  All Guests, regardless of residency, who book a Tauck journey have the option of purchasing the Cancellation Waiver provided by Tauck in the event they need to cancel their trip after making their reservations. Tauck's Guest Protection, which includes both the Cancellation Fee Waiver and the Travel Insurance Benefits and Assistance Services described above, is not available to residents of Puerto Rico.

Travel Requirements For This Tour

Air Information and Luggage Restrictions

AIRFARE: Airfare to and from this destination is not included in the journey cost. If purchasing your air elsewhere, it is very important to provide us with your confirmed arriving and departing flight information no later than 3 weeks before your arrival date. Flight information can be submitted to Tauck (or verified, if you've already provided it) in the My Account section of Tauck.com.

TAUCK AIRPORT TRANSFERS are included at the start and end of the journey between the airport and the Tauck hotel. Airport transfers are available for any pre tour or post tour hotel stays immediately consecutive to the tour, providing flight information is received in the Tauck office no later than three weeks in advance. Details on locating your transfer upon arrival to the tour start city will be included in your final documents.

AIRLINES and CHECKED LUGGAGE: Due to space limitations during your Tauck journey, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one average-size suitcase per person. Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and are free to revise luggage policies without notice. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies. PLEASE NOTE that if you are booked on a tour that includes on-tour flights, the checked luggage weight restrictions for these flights may be lower than the weight restrictions for your international flights.

Checked Luggage – General

Due to space restrictions, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one suitcase per person weighing no more than 50 pounds (23 kg) and with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (158 cm).

Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences.

Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies.

Tauck luggage tags will be provided by your Tauck Director on Day 1 of your itinerary. Please do not attach a Tauck luggage tag to any carry-on items, as the Tauck tags designate luggage that is to be handled and transferred by ground operators and hotel staff during your journey.

Carry-on Luggage - General

Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc.

For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and that you bring only those items you need handy during the day such as make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or on the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel.

Health, Safety and Mobility

HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS

While drinking water is generally safe at all our hotels, bottled water will be available wherever the local water is not fit to drink. We also provide bottled water on the motor coaches.

There is a smoking ban in public places throughout Scotland. The Blythswood Square Hotel and the Charlotte Square Hotel are a non-smoking property, with no 'smoking' rooms available. The Kingsmills Hotel has 5 guest rooms designated as 'smoking' rooms, and these must be requested at time of booking and cannot be guaranteed.

Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour.

If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify us as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly.

VACCINATIONS  

If you are a resident of the U.S., no vaccinations are currently required for travel to Scotland. For complete vaccination and inoculation information, please contact your physician, the public health service in your area, or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to obtain information about vaccinations that may be required for your journey. The CDC operates a 24-hour information line at 800-232-4636 (toll-free in the U.S.). You may also log on to the CDC website by clicking here .

If you are a resident of another country, please contact an embassy or consulate of the United Kingdom to determine what vaccination(s) may be required for your travel.

SPECIAL DIETARY REQUESTS

The restaurants, hotels, caterers and numerous other partners we work with all do their best to accommodate special dietary requests from Tauck guests. However, given the diverse nature of those food providers (from small wineries to grand hotels to world-famous restaurants in more than 70 countries worldwide), some of our partners are better able than others to accommodate such requests. We therefore cannot guarantee that all dietary requests can be accommodated at every meal. Also, please note that where dietary requests can be accommodated, choices will frequently be limited.

A Week in… Scotland involves a considerable amount of walking. To enjoy this tour, you should be in good health and able to walk reasonable distances, often over unpaved and uneven surfaces. Some of the most memorable sightseeing can only be accomplished on foot. The visits to the castles involve some stair climbing and walking up inclines. The amount of walking you do, however, is at your discretion.

PLEASE NOTE: We regret that this Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Likewise, we regret that we're unable to provide individual assistance to guests with walking difficulties or other personal needs. The responsibility of the Tauck Director who accompanies your trip is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest. Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it.

Reading List

We have compiled a reading list of recommended books to give you more information about the destinations you will be traveling to on your upcoming journey!

You can view the reading list  here.

Scotland's climate is temperate and, as in the rest of the U. K., the weather tends to be unpredictable. In general, Scotland tends to be cool, damp and cloudy, and is colder on average than the rest of the U.K. The coldest areas are the highlands, and the northern latitude has short winter days and very long summer evenings. The east coast experiences more sunshine, but colder winters, compared to the west. The average high temperatures for May through September range from 55 to 65˚F (13 to 18˚C) and the average low temperatures range from 45 to 55˚F (7 to 13˚C). Glasgow on the west coast has almost 50% more rain per year than either Inverness or Edinburgh.

To read about current weather conditions, we suggest you log on to the Internet website by clicking here .

What To Pack

Bringing the right clothing for your trip is important – we've partnered with New Headings who provide an "easy-to-use, one-stop shop" for your Tauck travel needs, specifically selected for this trip. Click here to visit their site .

The weather in Scotland is moderate but unpredictable. Your journey is designed with leisure in mind. Dress for comfort and convenience with a wardrobe that is adaptable and allows for layering. Generally, during the day, casual, comfortable, cotton clothing is recommended. Cool weather at higher elevations or at night will require warmer, layered clothing.

In Europe, especially in finer restaurants, it is generally customary to dress somewhat formally. Slacks or a dress for women and a jacket and tie for men are acceptable dining attire, although not required. It is advisable to avoid wearing jeans, sneakers or shorts for dinner. You may also wish to dress up a bit for the welcome reception and the farewell dinner, but by all means be comfortable.

You will find a hair dryer located in your hotel guest room. Irons and ironing boards are available upon request. Valet laundry and dry cleaning services are also available for a fee.

We recommend that you pack an adequate supply of your prescription medication in its original container to last through your entire journey, together with a copy of your doctor's prescription or a letter from your health-care provider on office stationery explaining that the medication has been prescribed for you, a list of the generic names of your medication, your travel documents and a change of clothing in your carry-on bag to avoid any inconvenience in the event that your flight or luggage is delayed.

Following is a list of recommended items to pack for your trip to Scotland:

  • Casual daytime wear – shorts, slacks, long and short-sleeved shirts
  • An optional jacket and tie for men
  • Casually elegant evening wear for ladies
  • Sunglasses, sunscreen, hat
  • A light sweater or jacket for higher elevations or a breezy night
  • Binoculars (7x50 preferably)
  • Insect repellent
  • Camera, lenses, batteries, memory cards and chargers
  • Lightweight, comfortable, sturdy walking shoes that have already been broken-in
  • Travel alarm clock/cell phone with alarm function (many hotels do not have clocks in the rooms)
  • Rain poncho and collapsible umbrella
  • Daypack for camera equipment
  • Sundries and toiletries that may be difficult to find en route
  • Copies of your travel documents that should be secured in the safe in your hotel room while traveling

Spend time touring the house and gardens at your leisure. Your other option is to explore the area’s famed trails, wildlife, villages and culture on a leisurely paced hike, in the company of a professional guide.
