We know how hard it can be to plan a trip when you’re on a student budget, so we’ve decided to give you the chance to save a bunch of money in order to tick Scotland off your bucket list! Our tours are designed with young travellers in mind as we plan active days out exploring the Highlands, always have time for a silly TikTok (our top video has 1.2M plays) and strictly limit our tours to 18-39 year old’s in order to foster a great group dynamic and help you make friends along the way. We don’t take ourselves too seriously and try to bring Scotland to life in a true backpacker style tour!
Check this page often for new student discounts.
All student discounts will need to be verified with a valid student ID

But that’s not all!
Every one of our guests on tour also receives a discount code for 10% off the 3 top hostels in Edinburgh: Castle Rock Hostel, High Street Hostel and Royal Mile Backpackers. Each of these vibey hostels runs events 7 nights a week and has a range of room types to suit any budget. Castle Rock is also the departure point for the tour, so you’ll be right where you need to be on departure day!
You’ll receive this discount code in your confirmation email. Simply follow the links to check availability, enter the code and you’ll be well on your way to saving! Best of all is that you can use this code multiple times, so if you loved the hostel you can always come
But what if I’m not a student?
Not to fear! There’s still plenty ways to save with MacBackpackers! If you’d like to save 10% on our tours simply subscribe to our newsletter on the link below. We’ll also be sending out some exclusive codes and news to our database about once a fortnight, so keep your eyes peeled.
The MacBackpackers Difference
We believe the best tour memories come from going on tour with likeminded people. That’s why we’ve created tours with a strict age policy of 18-39 to make sure we can create active, fun tours with people around your age! So if you’re looking for a tour with other young people where you can make new friends for life; then choose a macbackpackers tour!
