This 1-day tour from Glasgow takes in some of the very best highland scenery that Scotland has to offer. Travelling north, you will visit some spectacular locations like dramatic Glencoe, scenic Fort William at the foot of Ben Nevis, and the iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct.
The Jacobite Steam Train (Harry Potter train) runs until the 28th of October. After that point, you will not be able to see the train on this tour.
There aren't any additional fees on this tour. The price of your one day tour from Glasgow includes the services of a friendly, knowledgeable and experienced driver-guide, and transportation on one of our luxury, modern, air-conditioned coaches. The price of the tour doesn't include meals, however, we will stop at various locations with options for lunch and refreshments. We do always advise to bring along a wee packed lunch just in case places are busy, or you get peckish during your tour!
Yes, all of our tours are in English. Your tour will be taken by an experienced, knowledgeable, and friendly English speaking driver-guide. Unfortunately, at present, we do not have written translations of this tour. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
As we like to give you as much time off the coach as possible with the opportunity for walks, we recommend you bring warm and/or waterproof clothing, wear comfortable walking shoes and take sun-block or a hate for sunny days, but these might not be as essential on a winter tour like this. Don't forget your camera! Since we cannot allow hot food on our buses you could also bring a cold packed lunch with you to make the most of your time at each stop, this would be particularly time saving in the busier months.
We welcome children over 4 years old on our tours, and children aged between 4-16 years are eligible for the concessionary rate. We regret we are not able to carry children under the age of 4.

Fort William
This 1-day tour from Glasgow takes in some of the very best highland scenery that Scotland has to offer. Travelling north, you will visit some spectacular locations like dramatic Glencoe, scenic Fort William at the foot of Ben Nevis, and the iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct.
Experience the dramatic Highlands.
Departing from Glasgow in the morning, we travel north, pausing for refreshments in the highland town of Tyndrum, before continuing onwards to Glencoe. The Glen is arguably one of Scotland's most famous glens, and features in James Bond's 'Skyfall'; spend time soaking up the dramatic atmosphere, as well as taking some fantastic photos, and learn all about the history of the Massacre of Glencoe.
Travelling through more unparalleled highland scenery, we reach the town of Fort William. We will stop for lunch in the loch-side town, where you can enjoy stunning views across the lochs, as well as taking a look at Ben Nevis, Britain’s tallest mountain, which sits just outside of the town.
Get an iconic photo at the Glenfinnan Viaduct.
After our stop in Fort William, our one-day Glenfinnan tour travels eastwards to the main attraction of the day; Glenfinnan Viaduct, famous for its many appearances in the Harry Potter movies. During the summer months, you will also be able to see the iconic view of the Jacobite Steam Train (or Hogwarts Express) crossing the viaduct. Don’t forget your camera!
Surrounded by mountains on the shores of Loch Shiel, the Glenfinnan Monument symbolises one of the most important events in Scottish history; the 1745 Jacobite Uprising. We spend approximately one hour at the monument, with enough time to learn the history of the Jacobites and for you to get some iconic photos of the magnificent bridge and the stunning surrounding area, steeped in Scottish history.
Not only is this location famous for the Glenfinnan Viaduct, but Loch Shiel was the location of the 'Black Lake'; see if you can spot a 'grindylow' under the surface causing mischief! It's also the setting for Buckbeak's beautiful flight, scenes from the Triwizard Tournament and also the stunning loch where Hogwarts is based.
See Scottish Engineering in action at Neptune’s Staircase.
From Glenfinnan, we begin our journey back to Glasgow, and very soon we cross over a canal with a series of locks on the right called Neptune’s Staircase. It is part of the Caledonian Canal, which along with four lochs, allows boats and ships to make a 96 km journey from the west to the east side of Scotland. A true feat of Scottish engineering.
We continue our journey south, heading past the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. We will stop here at Tarbet for a comfort break before our tour continues and we return back to Glasgow.
