A quick way to choose: check whether your Loch Ness cruise is included or paid separately, since both ticket types appear here. A Glenfinnan viewpoint visit does not include a train ride; look for a steam train ticket in the inclusions if you want to board. For an Edinburgh day trip to Loch Ness, expect a large part of the day on the bus, even with stops along the way. The best reviewed day trips from Edinburgh come first below.
