Itinerario

We depart from Inverness and step back in time at the ancient burial site of Clava Cairns, a remarkable Bronze Age cemetery that has stood for over 4,000 years. This atmospheric site is a perfect spot for photos, with its stone circles and burial mounds creating a mysterious, timeless setting. They say the stone circle here was the inspiration for the Craigh na Dun time portal in the Outlander books. While your driver-guide can't promise any time travel, exploring this ancient site feels like a journey to the distant past, offering a rare glimpse into Scotland's rich prehistoric heritage.

Next, you visit Culloden, one of the most significant sites in Scottish history. It was here that the 60-year series of Jacobite uprisings came to a devastating end in 1746, with the Battle of Culloden marking the final confrontation fought on British soil. At the visitor center, you can delve into the story of the battle and pay tribute to those who lost their lives. For Outlander fans, Culloden holds an extra layer of significance—it's not far from the battlefield where Claire and Jamie shared their tearful farewell before Jamie joined the Jacobite army to fight for the Stuarts.

Following this, we journey to a more tranquil spot: Beauly. Here, you can explore the historic ruins of Beauly Priory, founded by French monks in the 13th century. Named 'Beau Lieu' (beautiful place), the serene site offers a glimpse into monastic life of the past and provides a peaceful atmosphere for reflection. You'll have enough time to explore the village itself and have some lunch. Then we ramble along to Glen Affric and stop off for walks amongst the indigenous Caledonian pine trees. You get the chance to enjoy views over Loch Affric and the mountains beyond, and your driver-guide ensures you go to the best waterfalls and photo spots throughout the afternoon.

Your final journey takes you along the mysterious shores of Loch Ness and back to the centre of Inverness for the early evening.
You return to Inverness at approximately 6pm.

  • FAQs:
    Do you offer hotel pickups in the departure cities?
    - The UK and Ireland's historic city centres are full of narrow streets and winding roads. So, to speed up your departure, we only pick up from our central meeting points. What's more is leaving the city using the most direct route also reduces the carbon footprint of our tours.
    Is there parking close to the departure point?
    - We don't recommend bringing your car into the centre of our departure cities. It can be hard to find parking, and there are excellent public transportation services.
    When should I get to the departure point?
    - Arrive 15 minutes before your departure time. Due to waiting restrictions, we can't wait for you if you're late.
    What happens if I'm late or miss the tour?
    - If you're late for your tour, our cancellation policy applies. 100% charges are applicable, and you will not be entitled to a refund or alternative.
    Can Itineraries change?
    - Your tour will always follow the itinerary as closely as possible. Your driver-guide will keep you up to date on the road, and we'll try to get in touch about any large changes prior to your departure.
    Can I pre-book a specific seat?
    - Due to logistical reasons, we're unable to let you pre-book a seat on the bus. But our comfortable 16-seat mini-coaches have huge windows. So, you'll always get a good view.
    Are there toilets on the bus?
    - Unfortunately, we have no on-board toilet facilities, but you'll have regular comfort breaks.
    How do you cater for people with accessibility needs?
    - We aim to accommodate everyone.
    How much time do I get off the bus?
    - We want you to enjoy Britain and Ireland. And we believe the best way to do this is to get you off the mini-coach and out exploring. So, we give you plenty of time to take photos, go walking, and explore ancient ruins.
    Why do you exclude visitor attractions?
    - We exclude visitor attractions in your tour price because it lets you travel your way. It means you can pamper yourself with a luxury lunch or skip an attraction whenever you feel like it.
    Do we need to bring our own lunch?
    - You don't need to. We stop in small towns, villages, and rural eateries where you can choose whatever meal pleases both your taste buds and your budget.
    Should I tip the driver-guide?
    - Let's be honest, our driver-guides would never refuse a cheeky bonus. But it's up to you, and the amount is entirely at your discretion.
    What about travel insurance?
    - We advise you take out travel insurance.
    What is ABTOT?
    - You're protected by ABTOT when you chose to let us reserve your accommodation on a multi-day tour. This means you can claim back anything you've paid us if we become bankrupt.
