Our Glenfinnan Viaduct tour departs from Inverness, starting with a journey along the world-famous Loch Ness and a stop at the Highland village of Fort Augustus. We continue south and visit the Commando Memorial, which looks out over the Nevis Range – home to the UK’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis. 

Before continuing to Mallaig, we stop at the Glenfinnan Viaduct, instantly recognisable from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. You’ll then have free time in Mallaig to grab lunch and explore the harbour.  

The adventure continues at Invermoriston, stopping to admire the old stone bridge over the River Moriston. On our drive back towards Loch Ness, we get the chance to catch views above the iconic ruins of Urquhart Caste before arriving into Inverness in the evening.
