Scottish Highlands and Skye Private Tours
Scottish Highlands and Skye works well with a private car and driver-guide. How long: 2–3 days for the Highlands; 3–5 including Skye. OuluTrip has 79 tours that include Scottish Highlands and Skye, chauffeur-only from £129 per person (based on 4 travelling), all adjustable to your dates, group and interests.
The Highlands are Scotland’s mountains and lochs: Glencoe, Loch Ness, Fort William and Ben Nevis, with the Isle of Skye over the bridge to the west. Roads are narrow and winding with many single-track stretches and fast-changing weather, so a driver who knows them makes it safer.
