Tour the Scottish Highlands on a day trip from Edinburgh, and then watch the world-famous Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo at night. Capturing the essence of Scotland in one day, the experience offers the perfect combination of Scottish Highland countryside, a whisky distillery tour with a sample and a guaranteed ticket to the Military Tattoo — where festival-style performances and marches take place at Edinburgh Castle’s historical esplanade.

Ali was an excellent driver and tour guide. She provided so much in the way of history, folklore, and anecdotes all while navigating city traffic out of and back into Edinburgh. The stops, including the distillery were well timed, nothing was rushed. There was plenty of time to get lunch when we visited the historical town of Dunkeld. Don't know if the stops are always the same. Start to finish, the tour is about 7 hours. A full day but one you won"t regret. We did the tour and attended the Tattoo on a Saturday. The tickets were for the later performance. It was a spectacular show and our tickets were perfect: about 2/3 of the way up and near center. Be prepared for showers, we had intermittent sprinkles, bring your poncho and you'll be fine. All around great day!!

I have taken numerous Viator trips in various countries. This is the first time there was no actual itinerary. The trip was listed as Highland tour but we never actually went into the highlands. Had I known the itinerary I would not have taken the trip and only attended the Tattoo Festival. Nothing against the guide, Paul, he was great but the trip itself wasn’t so great and a bit disappointing

I'm glad I was able to do a lot of sightseeing. However, I didn't know the detailed schedule for each day, so I wish I had received it by email in advance.
The staff were very kind and helpful.
I wish there was a Japanese version of the site.

Allison was our guide and so kind and informative. Plenty of interesting information but also ample time to explore the beauty on our own.
