Group Tours vs Private Tours: Which is Best?
in Information
There’s no more efficient way to see a place, country or region than a guided tour. No need to plan the route or stops, its full of information and the very best of the country, just sit back and see what’s on offer, sounds great!
But do you go with a group tour or a private tour? Both have great benefits and plenty of drawbacks, and it really comes down to your circumstances, expectations and, well, your personality.

I’ll admit right away that i prefer the West coast, i think most people do. From Glen Coe to Torridon to Loch Lomond, it has so many natural treasures it would be hard to beat anywhere in the world. But for my recent trip, i decided to head East, at least at first, and give some new locations a try in what looked like a decent few days according to BBC Weather. And they were right.

Loch na Gainmhich and the Wailing Widow
in Blog
I couldn’t think of a more epic opening than the name of the loch and falls pictured, can you??
We came here after a morning walking (and getting lost) along the coast of Stoer visiting the sea stacks. It was my turn to drive the 7 berth camper full of people, electronics, supplies and a dog, and it didn’t take long before the complaints came flooding in about my erratic manoeuvres (sorry again, friends).

Mountain on Fire
I was a little upset about the mediocre sunset we got at the top of Stac Polly (spoiler: it all turned out well), but it was getting dark and we had to start making our way back down and on to the next campsite to meet up with the other group of camper friends.
After another 20min of downhill hiking and ever increasing darkness, the mountains caught fire, and a crazy brightness surrounded everything we could see. We all stopped to take it in and decided we have to see what this looks like from the sky.
I sent up the drone and faced him directly toward the epic Pollaidh (see second pic) before turning 180 degrees and seeing the top of the mountain to the east look like a volcano!
We made the rest of the trek down the mountain in the dark, got in the van and made our way to the campsite.
