An Isle of Skye tour from Edinburgh is a long but rewarding trip. The drive from Edinburgh to Skye is roughly 5 hours each way, so we offer both a long single-day option and a 2–3 day private tour that includes Glencoe, Fort William, Eilean Donan and Skye with overnight stops and a calm pace.
We pick you up from your accommodation in Edinburgh (or airport), tailor the route to your interests and how many days you have, and deliver the same high standard of private vehicle and driver-guide. Every tour is private for your group with a dedicated driver-guide and luxury Mercedes vehicle.
This is our same core Isle of Skye private tour, with start in Edinburgh and flexible routing (day tour or multi-day).
Day tour vs multi-day from Edinburgh
A Skye day tour from Edinburgh is possible but long. If you have 2–3 days we can design a multi-day tour that includes Glencoe, Fort William, Eilean Donan and Skye with overnight stops, so you see the best of the west without rushing.
