How long each driving day really is

Most legs run two to three hours of actual driving, broken by stops. The longest single day on the ten-day loop is around four hours, and we break it with a proper lunch rather than a service station. We stop roughly every ninety minutes — some are viewpoints, some are simply because someone wants a coffee. Highland roads need extra allowance: what the map calls two hours is closer to three.

What the vehicle actually holds

The Alphard and Vellfire seat seven, but seven seats and seven suitcases are different problems. With the rear row up, the boot takes roughly four 26-inch cases. That is why we say four guests with full luggage — for five or more with checked bags we arrange a second vehicle rather than promising a squeeze that does not work.

What we will not do

We will not push you into shops or restaurants that pay commission, add items you did not ask for and charge for them, or tell you a hotel is good if we have not used it. If your plan does not fit the days, or self-drive would genuinely be better value for you, or a small-group tour suits you more — we will say so, even when it costs us the booking.

The rhythm of stops

We stop roughly every ninety minutes. Some are viewpoints, some are simply because someone wants a coffee or a toilet. On some Highland stretches there is nothing for forty miles, so these stops are planned rather than improvised.

What we will not do

We do not push you into shops or restaurants that pay commission — we take none. We do not add unrequested items and charge for them, or recommend hotels we have not used. If your plan does not fit the days, or self-drive suits you better, we say so even when it costs us the booking.

What language support actually means

Our chauffeur-guides speak Mandarin, Cantonese and English, from first enquiry to final drop-off. In Edinburgh you can manage in English. On a single-track Highland road when the weather turns, having someone explain the options in your own language is a different kind of comfort.

What to bring

A waterproof jacket with a hood beats an umbrella, which the wind destroys. Layers beat one thick coat. Shoes with grip matter. Summer highs are 17–20°C, evenings drop to 10, and the Highlands are colder. Guests underestimate this every single month.

每日實際車程有幾長

多數路段實際車程兩至三個鐘，中間有停留。十日環島最長嗰日大約四個鐘，我哋會用一頓正經午餐分隔開，而唔係高速公路服務區。大約每九十分鐘停一次——有啲係觀景點，有啲純粹因為有人想飲杯咖啡。高地公路要特別留意：地圖估兩個鐘，實際接近三個鐘。

車輛實際載得幾多

Toyota Alphard 同 Vellfire 係七座，但七個座位同七件行李係兩回事。第三排立起嗰陣，尾箱大約放到四件 26 吋行李箱。所以我哋講「最多四位客人連全套行李」——五位或以上有托運行李，我哋會安排第二架車，唔會勉強塞。

我哋唔會做嘅嘢

我哋唔會迫你入有佣金嘅商店或者餐廳。唔會喺你未問之前加項目再收錢。唔會話一間我哋冇住過嘅酒店好。如果你嘅計劃日數唔夠、或者自駕對你嚟講其實更抵、又或者小團遊更適合你，我哋會直接講——就算咁樣會少做一單。

停留節奏

我哋大約每九十分鐘停一次。有啲係觀景點，有啲純粹因為有人想飲杯咖啡或者去洗手間。高地部分路段四十英里冇任何設施，所以呢啲停留點係預先規劃嘅，唔係即興。

語言支援實際係點

我哋司機導遊識講普通話、廣東話同英文。由第一次查詢到最後一程送機都係同一種語言。喺愛丁堡你用英文大致應付到;但喺高地單線道遇上天氣突變，有人可以用你嘅語言解釋情況，係另一種安心。

應該帶咩

有帽嘅防水外套勝過雨傘(風會吹爛把遮)、分層衣物勝過一件厚褸、有抓地力嘅步行鞋。夏天最高十七至二十度、晚上跌到十度、高地更凍。呢啲唔係客套提醒，係每個月都有客人低估嘅嘢。
