Your tour questions.
Are hotels or all-inclusive packages available?
No. We provide private transport. You book hotels, attraction tickets and meals separately. The itinerary planner shows overnight towns and an optional affiliate hotel link.
How much can we see in a day?
Our driver has an eight-hour daily driving limit, with stops and breaks additional. Choose a focused route in the planner. One-day Highlands tours are not accepted. Suggested routes are three days for Inverness and Loch Ness or four days including Skye, subject to confirmation.
Are these private tours or shared coach trips?
These are private trips from Edinburgh. The vehicle seats up to six passengers, so you travel with your own group. Tell us your passenger and luggage requirements so we can confirm the right arrangement.
Are tour prices per person or per vehicle?
Prices are per vehicle and include VAT: £280 for up to four hours driving, £560 for up to eight hours driving per day. Edinburgh-only tours are £40 less. Driver overnight costs are £150 per night, included in displayed multi-day totals. Guest hotels, meals and tickets are separate.
Can we speak Hindi or Punjabi?
Yes. Abhimanyu speaks Hindi, Punjabi, Haryanvi and English. You can discuss your itinerary, pickup and preferences in the language you feel most comfortable using.
