SPONSORED: Ditch the car and tour Scotland – and beyond – aboard a luxury coach

Post Thumbnail

The best ways to see Scotland is by road – so it is no wonder that the number of people opting for coach tours is continuing to rise. Letting someone else drive you to your destination is a luxury, as you are free to sit back and relax in some of the country’s most comfortable coaches en route to your accommodation.

From day trips to week-long holidays, coach trips are flexible and appeal to a number of different people and age groups.

Perhaps you do not have a car, well, don’t let the lack of transport deter you from travelling to the far-flung coastal towns and villages of Scotland, and beyond, as there are a number of tour operators able to take you there.

Or perhaps you are fed up driving everywhere? Forget relying on the sat nav to take you there, and instead book a tour and let a coach driver clock up the miles instead, as you enjoy the journey.

And, there is also an environmental benefit too, so if you are concerned about your carbon footprint, hopping aboard a green coach ensures that harmful pollutants are reduced.
