What Travellers Say About Our Tours
4.9 out of 5 from 3,800+ reviews on Google, Tripadvisor, GetYourGuide and Viator.
We just got back from the 3-day Isle of Skye tour and absolutely loved it! The trip was the perfect length — well-organized, comfortable, and full of breathtaking scenery. The van was spotless and cozy, and our small group made the experience even better… James is a true gem.
I did the 5 day Isle of Skye tour with them and it was the perfect length. We only had 4 people which was also great. Georgie, our guide, was super knowledgeable and added a ton to our tour. You see so much on the five day tour and still have time at each stop.
On our first trip to Scotland we wanted to see as much as we possibly could, and Experience Scotland’s Wild did not disappoint. Our tour guide Jim was knowledgeable, fun, and a pleasure to spend the week with. We did the 7 day, Isle of Skye and Outer Hebrides tour from Edinburgh.
Your guide
The guide is the part people remember
Read our reviews and the same thing comes up again and again: the guide. Ours are storytellers first. They walk the stops with you, tell the stories behind each glen and castle, and make sure everyone feels part of the group.
“I was traveling solo, but our guide made me feel welcome from the very beginning.”

Why Travel With Scotland's Wild
We build time out of the vehicle into every tour: woodland walks at The Hermitage, the Fairy Glen on Skye, the Three Sisters in Glencoe, with a guide who knows the stories behind them.

Guides who walk it with you
Your guide parks up and walks the stops with you, from the Fairy Glen to the Hermitage waterfall, telling the stories as you go.
Never more than 16
Room to ask questions and a group that gets to know each other. Around a third of our bookings are solo travellers, so you won’t be the only one.
Two nights where it counts
Our multi-day tours stay two nights on Skye, Lewis or Orkney, so you get a full day on the island, not just a drive through.
Simple to book
Secure a multi-day tour with a 25% deposit (50% for day tours), and we can book your rooms along the route too.

Planning your trip
Scotland Tour Questions, Answered
Planning a Scotland trip from overseas? These are the questions we're asked most.
How many days do I need for a Scotland tour?
Our scheduled tours run from 1 to 7 days. With three days you can reach the Isle of Skye and spend two nights there, with a full day on the island. Five days adds more of the west coast or the islands of Orkney or Lewis & Harris, and the 7-day tour combines Skye, the Outer Hebrides and the Highlands.
How big are the groups?
Every scheduled tour has no more than 16 travellers, with an expert guide who drives and tells the stories along the way. If you'd rather travel with only your own party, we also run private tours.
Where do the tours start?
Edinburgh tours leave from outside The Jolly Botanist, 256–260 Morrison Street (EH3 8DT). Glasgow tours leave from 17 Killermont Street (G2 3NX). Inverness tours leave from outside Starbucks at Rose Street Car Park (IV1 1NQ). Some multi-day tours from Glasgow finish in Edinburgh, and each tour page shows where it ends.
Is accommodation included on multi-day tours?
No. Tour prices cover your guide and transport, so you can choose how to stay. We can book B&B or hotel rooms with trusted partners near the group's overnight stops once your tour is confirmed (breakfast is normally included), or you can book your own within about 3 km of the group's location.
What is included in the tour price?
Your expert guide, transport in a comfortable, air-conditioned touring vehicle, and guided short walks and sightseeing stops. Ferry crossings are included on the Orkney, Outer Hebrides and 7-day tours. Meals, accommodation and entry to paid attractions such as castles aren’t included.
How do I pay, and what is the cancellation policy?
Prices are per person in British pounds (GBP). Multi-day tours need a 25% deposit, with the balance taken 15 days before departure; cancel 16 or more days before and you receive 90% of the tour cost back. Day tours need a 50% deposit, with the balance taken 8 days before; cancel 8 or more days before for a full refund, or 3–7 days before for 50%. See the full terms and conditions.
How much walking is involved, and is there a minimum age?
Short walks and time outside the vehicle are built into every day, usually up to about an hour on paths that can be rough or uneven. Walks are optional. Most scheduled tours welcome travellers aged 12 and over, and the Puffin and Alnwick day tours welcome children from age 7. For younger children, ask us about a private tour.
How much luggage can I bring on a multi-day tour?
One suitcase or bag up to 15 kg (33 lb), about 56 × 43 × 25 cm, plus one small personal bag. If you have more, see our luggage storage information.
Find a Tour That Fits Your Dates
Day tours leave Edinburgh and Glasgow most days (and Inverness from January 2027), and multi-day tours run from 2 to 7 days. Search your dates to see what has space, then secure your place with a 25% deposit (50% on day tours).
