What to expect
You'll spend the day moving between carefully chosen stops across the Highlands. Expect roughly equal time split between vehicle travel through striking moorland and glens, and time spent exploring castles—walking their grounds, entering keeps, and learning their stories from your guide. At a distillery, you'll see copper stills and barrel rooms, then sit down to taste several expressions. The minibus is modern and air-conditioned with phone charging and USB ports. Scottish biscuits and water are provided. Total duration of ten hours includes all travel between locations.
