This private Loch Ness tour takes you through some of the most scenic and storied landscapes in the Highlands - from dramatic glens to quiet lochside villages.

Your day begins in Callander, a picturesque gateway to the Trossachs. From there, the journey winds north through rolling hills to Tyndrum, a peaceful Highland stop surrounded by sweeping views - perfect for a short break and a warm drink.

Next, you’ll travel through the awe-inspiring valley of Glencoe. With its towering peaks and powerful history, it’s one of Scotland’s most iconic and unforgettable places.
At the southern tip of Loch Ness, the village of Fort Augustus offers a great spot to pause by the canal and take in the view across the water - keep your eyes peeled for a ripple from Nessie.

Following the loch’s quieter southern shore, you’ll visit Foyers, where the Falls of Foyers cascade through a wooded gorge. It’s a beautiful and often overlooked corner of the Highlands - calm, atmospheric, and full of hidden charm.
