1.3-Day Isle of Skye, ‘Hogwarts Express’ Train and Highlands Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 972 reviews · from $926Our pick

Travel from Edinburgh to Portree with an English-speaking guide, ride the Jacobite steam train over Glenfinnan Viaduct, and spend two nights on Skye. You’ll see Glencoe, the Old Man of Storr, Dunvegan Castle, Eilean Donan, Loch Ness, and more without driving.

“Our tour of the Highlands and Isle of Skye was wonderful. From the dramatic scenery of Glencoe and the Black Cuillins, to the historic sites of Culloden and the Clava Cairns and the lovely towns of Powtree and Inverness, it was all just grand. But what made this tour so special was our driver Jada and tour guide Louise. Both were personable, professional, organized and fun. Jada's driving skills were amazing. Louise was a wonderful storyteller who made Scottish history and legends come alive. Together they were definitely a "dynamic duo."”
