One of the best ways to travel in Scotland is to drive through the countryside, around the many islands along the coast, and into the Scottish Highlands. While some visitors choose to rent a car and drive themselves, others may be more comfortable on a small group tour of Scotland. <\/p>\n

Tours allow you to enjoy the highlights without the hassle of having a car, and can be great for those that want to travel with a guide or have a more social experience.<\/p>\n

The best small group tours of Scotland are offered by a number of different companies, including Haggis Adventures and Rabbie’s. Both companies offer tours that provide transportation and guides, but allow passengers to choose their own extras like accommodation and food to fit with their budget and travel preferences.<\/p>\n

Haggis Adventures Small Group Tours of Scotland<\/strong><\/p>\n

Haggis Adventures offer a number of different itineraries, ranging from day trips to the Scottish Highlands to 10-day tours covering a wide variety of destinations. Tour highlights include Loch Ness, the Isle of Skye, Glencoe, the battlefield of Culloden, and other great locations. <\/p>\n

Haggis is known throughout Scotland for its bright yellow buses, enthusiastic tour guides, and youthful approach to travel. Days are filled with great sightseeing and storytelling, and evenings are often spent eating, drinking, and dancing into the wee hours.<\/p>\n

Haggis’s focus is on the budget traveller, and accommodation is usually reserved in hostels. As such, they are a great choice for backpackers. Accommodation and meals are not included, and some entry fees aren’t either, so make sure to leave some extra room in your budget.<\/p>\n

Rabbie’s Small Group Tours of Scotland<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rabbie’s offer a wide variety of tours that include day trips from Edinburgh and Glasgow, 17-day tours of Scotland, and Scotch Whisky Tours. Tour highlights include Loch Ness, Loch Lomond, St Andrews, the Isle of Skye, Orkney, and other popular destinations. <\/p>\n

Rabbie’s is known for providing a high-quality service and informative guides. Their tours generally cater to those that want an independent holiday or vacation with group transport.<\/p>\n

Rabbie’s tours allow participants to choose and book their own accommodation at whatever price point fits their travel budget. Likewise, meals are on your own, so you can tailor your food budget and restaurant choices to your preferences. Entry fees are also at your own expense, so make sure to budget for that as well.<\/p>\n

In addition to small group tours of Scotland, Haggis Adventures and Rabbie’s also offer tours in other parts of the UK and in Europe. If you are visiting the UK for an extended period, you can take tours of England, Wales, and Ireland. You can see all offerings on the Haggis Adventures<\/a> website and the Rabbie’s<\/a> website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
