10 stars in my book ! I strongly suggest booking with Highland Private Tours!! Andy was an awesome tour guide; very knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. My husband, friends and I had a great day touring Edinburgh, learning the history and visiting areas only the locals have knowledge of. We also toured the Highlands, Loch Lomond and St. Andrews. All of these tours were incredible! Andy and his employees are friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely care about making your experience a pleasant one! If we make it back to Scotland, we will absolutely be contacting Andy again!

We did the city tour, St. Andrews & Loch Lomond. Andy went out of his way to make our experience exceptional. He’s funny and knowledgeable. We had the greatest time. Highly recommend 5 plus stars!

What an amazing day with Highland Private Tours and Rowan! From seeing the hairy coos up close, to the breathtaking views at Loch Tulla, every stop felt special. We loved the quick stop in Killin with its beautiful rocky streams, and the late lunch at Mohr84 was absolutely delicious. A brilliant added bonus was stopping at the Skyfall lay-by location — such a cool touch! Rowan was the perfect host throughout: knowledgeable, engaging, full of great banter, and the 80s tunes on the drive back topped the whole day off perfectly. Couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough — a genuine highlight of our trip to Scotland!

Great experience with Roland. He showed us a great day up in the Scottish Highlands! He was very entertaining and kept us laughing. I would highly recommend this trip and going with Roland!

Roland picked us up right on time and made the drive to the Highlands both safe and enjoyable. Along the way, he shared fascinating stories, history, and local insights that really brought the journey to life. He even helped us choose a wonderful spot for lunch, which was the perfect break during the day. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him, and the Highlands themselves are truly an inspiring experience.

We had an absolutely great day with Rowan as our tour guide on the one day private tour of the Highlands! The tour was completely customizable. We made all the stops that we wanted, including an extra stop to a whiskey distillery per our request. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch was absolutely delicious and easily catered to my husband‘s celiac disease and gluten and egg intolerances. Our children ages 8 and 11 also thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Thank you so much for a great day in Scotland!
