# 4-Day Magical Mull, Iona & West Highlands Small-Group Tour from Edinburgh

**Guidekin's take:** Explore Mull and Iona with a stop at Calgary Bay and an optional boat trip to Staffa. Three nights' accommodation, breakfast, mini-coach travel, a driver-guide and Mull and Iona ferries are included; admissions cost extra and the Staffa trip depends on weather. 4.97 from 38 reviews at €929 per person for 96h.

## Overview

Spend four amazing days exploring the natural beauty and historic treasures of the island of Mull and surrounding areas. You’ll visit Calgary Bay, the islands of Mull, Iona and Staffa (optional) and see Queen Elizabeth Forest Park and the National Park of Loch Lomond. With stops at historic sites such as Stirling Castle, Inveraray Castle and the Abbey in Iona, you'll have plenty of ways to take in the rich history and culture of these ancient isles on this 3-night tour from Edinburgh.
