Forth Bridge
As your tour leaves Edinburgh admire magnificent views across the Firth of Forth as you drive north to Fife. Keep a look out for the UNESCO-listed Forth Bridge as you cross the Forth Road Bridge, then soak up the scenery as you wind through the countryside.
Scone Palace
Scone Palace was the crowning place of Scottish kings where Macbeth, Robert the Bruce and Charles II were once crowned. Scone breathes history like nowhere else in Scotland. It is the family home of the Earls of Mansfield and the ancient crowning place of Scottish kings on the stone of Scone. See where the Stone of Scone, known as the Stone of Destiny, once stood. Admire the needlework skills of Mary Queen of Scots bedhangings that she worked on while in prison on Loch Leven. Discover the desk at which Frances’ tragic young Queen, Marie Antionette, wrote her letters prior to the days when the guillotine beckoned. You can also see the State Rooms where Queen Victoria was entertained on her way to the Highlands in 1842, and the bedroom in which she slept. If you are a lover of fine things, Scone is a treasury of furniture and paintings, porcelain and other objets d’art.

Peter, our guide, was amazing! Very friendly, knowledgeable & positive.

3.00Not worth the price paid. Driver, Peter, was the best part. Picked us up on time and very pleasant and contentious. We hit terrible traffic and less than ideal weather and didn’t have enough time to make the majority of our stops. Only had time for 3 of the 7 tour stops. Over $1300 US dollars was far too much too pay. Would not recommend this tour to anyone.

5.00We had to book our day tour last minute due to a mixup on another tour that was a larger group tour. After having done a private tour in Ireland, we were actually glad the large group tour was cancelled and we were able to book with Aura Journeys. The other tour was to include Loch Ness and the Highlands, which would have been a 12-hour tour. The private tour with Aura for my husband, me and our two friends afforded us a completely customized experience with our driver Brian. He picked us up from our hotel in Edinburgh at 9 am and explained that some of the planned stops were closed or already booked at capacity, which didn’t phase us one bit. We just wanted to see as much of Scotland and the Highlands and really had no specific requests. Brian gave us an exceptional experience! He had the Mercedes van stocked with water, snacks and the infamous Iron Cru drinks! We saw Newton Viewpoint, the Kelpies, Shetland ponies, cows (which we got to pet and feed!), Doune Castle, multiple cathedrals, Roman Camp Hotel for lunch with the most beautiful garden and grounds, a waterfall outside Aberfoyle, and the William Wallace memorial in less than 12 hours. If you are thinking about booking with Aura, BOOK IT! Cannot recommend them enough and be sure to ask for Brian as your driver if he’s available. Not only did he give us a heck of a day, he was so friendly and personable and wonderful to spend the day with!
Wonderful day with a knowledgeable guide!

5.00We had the best time seeing more of the Scottish countryside with William as our guide! Even before our arrival, he was super responsive via email, making sure that he knew what we were hoping to do and see. William had lots of great stories and information to share, and we loved seeing Loch Katrine and doing a tasting a Deanston Distillery. We’d definitely recommend booking with Aura Journeys if you’re wanting to see a bit more of Scotland outside of Edinburgh!
Going beyond the plan

5.00Great day with William! We were on a short schedule due to unforeseen problems getting our Covid tests for travel the next day…he even found the shipping warehouse to pick them up (definitely could not have found it on our own and not part of the tour!). And we got to see all the sites we’d picked before that. Thank you!
Aura Journeys gave us a trip of a lifetime!

5.00Where to start? After a year of planning our itinerary with Nick of Aura Journeys, we put it into play with 8 days of touring with William. William is professional, but he knows how to have fun with you after he sizes you up. His humor was like spending a week with your best friend from college. Subtle, but pointed, we traded barbs and laughed away the week. No worries about spending a week with a stranger when your guide is William! His knowledge of the area was deep but if he didn't have an answer to your question, he'd look it up and have it for you quickly. He soon got to know what we liked and what we didn't, from meal times and toilet stops, to type of food and sightseeing preferences. We had daily itineraries but we would often adjust based on our own energy level or suggestions from William. Nothing was ever a problem for William. We went to several places William had never been to and he thanked US for taking him there. We ended as good friends and hated to leave him at the end of our journey. Highlights: * Always arrived early with a clean van and lots of water * Very safe driver * Served as photographer when asked - we finally have trip pictures with both of us * Flexible and accommodating * Knowledgeable - great suggestions for restaurants, activities, places to visit and places to skip * He did all the work and let us be tourists rather than trying to drive and read guidebooks while we flew past sights. Worth every penny on this 50th wedding anniversary trip

5.00Our recent private tour of the Scottish Highlands was exceptional. Our driver Murray McKenzie was extremely accommodating and friendly. He not only made an on the fly suggestion to visit Sterling Castle versus the more touristy Edinburgh Castle, but he even drove us to a local supermarket to let us get food for later in the evening after dropping us off, even when it extended his own long day. Murray was very knowledgeable about the various sights in our tour and made suggestions for future locations to visit. I would highly recommend him to anyone wishing to tour anywhere in Scotland.
Excellent tour with an even better chauffeur

5.005 of us enjoyed a wonderful day with a wonder chauffeur - William. What a gentleman! William is very knowledgeable about the area and we were able to modify our route to meet our individual needs. William even did some impromptu modifications so my wife could see the Outlander sites. The scenery was wonderful. William made the experience a memorable one. Book the trip with no regrets. William will take care of you guaranteed!
