# 3-Day Guided Isle of Skye and Highlands with Stay from Edinburgh

**Guidekin's take:** Two nights in Inverness provide the base for exploring the Isle of Skye and Highlands, with Eilean Donan Castle and Culloden Battlefield on the route. A driver-guide, B&B accommodation and breakfast are included; the Loch Ness cruise and Urquhart Castle ticket cost extra. 4.7 from 964 reviews at €476 per person for 72h.

## Overview

See Eilean Donan Castle, explore the Highlands and Culloden Battlefield, take an optional Loch Ness cruise, tour Urquhart Castle and enjoy the incredible scenery on the beautiful Isle of Skye. This tour includes a 2-night stay in Inverness. You will return to Edinburgh on the final day at approximately 1900 (7pm).

- Most tours confirm instantly at booking, and many offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start; schedules shown are the operators' published departures.
