Flying in and out of Edinburgh, Scotland's compact, hilly capital, you'll have time to explore on your own and with several guided tours, hand-picked to your interests: acquaint, educate, entertain or terrorize. After a night's rest, your private driver will pick you up on day two for your custom Grand Tour. You'll head to the ancient Kingdom of Fife to explore the many royal connections and the historic seaside town of St. Andrews. Over the next five days, you'll make your way up to the majesty of the Highlands, Borders & islands of Scotland. From dazzling white beaches to the dramatic mountain landscapes of Skye and Assynt, our Grand Tour will live with you forever. You’ll have plenty of time to enjoy world-famous sights and some hidden gems that many tourists never see. Crossing by ferry back to mainland Scotland, you'll come down through Fort William and Glencoe, the most famous of Scottish glens, and on back to Edinburgh for a final evening before departure the next day.
