Highlights range from historical sites such as Urquhart Castle and Fortrose Cathedral to cultural stories like the legacy of Flora MacDonald and Jacobite history. Landscapes visited include Loch Ness, mirrored mountains of Wester Ross, the rugged coastlines of Sutherland, and the dramatic peaks and glens of Skye.
Hame Tours incorporates wildlife viewing opportunities where appropriate, including dolphin sightings at Chanory Point, salmon river views in Speyside, and general Highland wildlife observation. Distillery visits in Speyside and garden stops such as Inverewe Gardens feature on relevant itineraries. Visits to Dunrobin Castle, Applecross, Cromarty, and other local sites are arranged according to the selected tour.
