North Coast 500 by coach

Narrow twisty roads, hordes of motor homes, fed up locals. I'd find another coach tour to go on.

I’d say ‘pass the sick bag Alice!’ As Aveline says, the roads twist and turn and lurch up and down hills. You need a strong stomach.

We used to live in that area, decades before it became a tourist attraction, and drove parts of it regularly but it’s not a pleasure now, too much traffic and not enough facilities, though I guess a coach tour would have all that planned.

Rabbies Tours if your looking for a small, bespoke type company.
Parrys coach tours for the bigger tours. They cover Scotland but not sure explicitly NC5OO..
I haven't done a coach tour but I've worked with many operators and Parrys are outstanding (sure someone will pop up and say they are dreadful!)
Most of the larger coaches will go up through Perthshire and along the east coast to John o' Groats/Thurso and across the north, the roads are fine.

Yes it's busy - what tourist destination isn't these days? .
