This is a private tour designed entirely around you.
Rather than following a fixed timetable or travelling with a large group, you'll enjoy a relaxed day exploring Scotland at your own pace with a knowledgeable local driver guide.
From iconic Highland scenery and famous landmarks to hidden viewpoints, quiet villages and unforgettable photography stops, every journey is tailored to make the most of your day. If you'd like to spend a little longer somewhere, we can. If you discover somewhere unexpected along the way, we'll stop.
Travelling in a premium Mercedes vehicle, you'll enjoy a comfortable, flexible experience while discovering the stories, history and local knowledge that bring Scotland to life.
Our aim is simple. By the end of the day, we hope you'll feel less like you've taken a tour and more like you've spent the day travelling with a local.

What To Expect
Forth Bridge
No visit to Edinburgh is complete without seeing the magnificent Forth Rail Bridge. Completed in 1890 and recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this remarkable Victorian engineering masterpiece has carried trains across the Firth of Forth for well over a century. We'll stop for photographs and enjoy panoramic views of all three Forth bridges while learning the fascinating story behind one of Scotland's most iconic landmarks.
The Kelpies & The Helix
As we leave Edinburgh, we'll drive past The Kelpies, Scotland's largest equine sculptures. Standing 30 metres high, these striking landmarks celebrate the country's industrial heritage and the powerful working horses that once pulled barges along Scotland's canals. It's a memorable sight as we begin our journey into the Highlands.

Unforgettable Day in The Highlands

5.00We've had so many great tour experiences during our stay in Scotland, but this had to be our favorite. It was an unforgettable day and such a good contrast to our days in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Our guide Andy was excellent. He was early to pick us up. He tailored the stops to our preferences; namely, to see Outlander sites. The stops on the tour were perfect. The duration in between was just enough to rest up for the next adventure. Lunch was great. To cap it off, Andy recommended a restaurant in Edinburgh that ended up being one of our favorite meals of the trip. This is a must-do while in Scotland.
THE BEST TOUR GUIDE IN EDINBURGH!!!

5.00Beautiful sunny day and Andy was a great host. We learned a lot about Scotland, it’s history, and the places we visited

5.00Andy did a great job on this tour of keeping us on track while accommodating some desires of our group. Taking a private tour is so much more enjoyable than a large group. Tour company is a family business of two brothers. Felt we got to know each other and really learned a lot about Scotland. Sights are both fun and beautiful. Highly recommend this tour.
