For the discerning traveller who wants Iona woven into the grand arc of the Scottish Highlands and Islands — Discover Scotland Tours offers expertly guided small-group journeys from Edinburgh or Glasgow that include Iona as their spiritual centrepiece.
What to expect
The 4- or 6-day tour winds through the dramatic landscapes of Argyll and the Inner Hebrides, crossing to Mull via Oban and onwards to Iona by ferry. Your guide contextualises each destination within Scottish history — from the Jacobite risings to the Clearances — before the quiet sanctity of Iona brings the journey to an emotional crescendo. Accommodation is in characterful Highland hotels and island guesthouses. Group sizes are intentionally small to preserve the quality of experience.
Good to know
Ideal for cruise passengers with a pre- or post-cruise land extension; not a same-day shore excursion. Contact Discover Scotland Tours directly to discuss scheduling around your cruise dates. Advance booking is strongly recommended. All tours depart from Edinburgh or Glasgow.
