I recently used Scottish tours for Two Private day tours and I cannot recommend them highly enough! We did a day trip out to Stirling Castle with several stops along the way and a day trip to Inverness with stops at Blair Castle and Lock Katrine. From Start to finish Niall and the very AMAZING Tour Guide Stuart Murray were utterly fantastic. The best part was the options , as Stuart our incredible tour guide got to know us, he made several minor changes to our Tour, we wanted a whisky tasting and I wanted a bit of shopping, so he was ready and able to pivot and accommodated all our requests. We were a bit tired of seeing all the castles and the walking uphill, and we need a bit of time to shop and drink scotch whiskey . I am a very seasoned traveler and work in the Hospitality Industry and I would SAY BOOK this TOUR Company for Everything. Great customer service and responsiveness. I loved the visual and descriptive itinerary they send you and with all the options and information. TRUST me I would use them for everything

We just returned from a 2 week visit to London and Scotland. Family of 6. We had an amazing time and a highlight of the trip was our last day in Scotland. We booked a day tour with Scottish Guided Tours - 5 S Charlotte Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4AN. We were picked up at our flat in Glasgow early morning and spent the day with Colin. He truly made our last day in Scotland perfect. The van was impeccable and the castle, Loch Lomond and park were sights to be remembered. Colin also made sure we got to see a Highland cow up close. His knowledge and experience added so much to the tour. Will definitely use this tour group on any return to Scotland.

This tour was the best part about our trip to Scotland, by far!! Our tour guide, Stuart, became our new friend. We were traveling with my elderly mother and my one year old daughter, and Stuart went above and beyond to accommodate us in every way. He was very attentive to helping my mother, with balance issues, and made sure she got to see all the important Outlander spots…… he even helped her walk to make sure she didn’t miss anything! Stuart’s knowledge of Scottish history was impressive, to say the least. I am SO glad we got him as our tour guide. Our trip wouldn’t have been the same without him !! The company made things seemless as far as the planning went, and they were eager to answer any questions I had. I highly recommend using this company, and requesting Stuart!!

Our tour experience was incredible. It far exceeded our expectations and I had high expectations based on reviews. If I could give the tour 10 stars, I would. The scenery and locations we visited were beautiful. But to be honest, what truly made the experience was our exceptional tour guide, Stuart. I cannot think of enough superlatives to describe our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about Scottish history and a passionate story teller. He was kind, attentive to our needs, told interesting facts about the places we visited to make our visit even more meaningful, he was funny, witty, and so considerate. We all felt it was a great tour but Stuart made it a phenomenal tour. His musical play list was spot on for the mood and we did not want the day to end. I cannot recommend this tour company more highly and if you are really lucky, perhaps Stuart will be your guide too. (I am a travel industry professional and help create bespoke tours so I can truly vouch for how amazing this tour was.) This is truly an experience our family will be talking about for years.

We did two, two day tours with Scottish Guided Tours, specifically Alan. He drove us to the places we wanted to go and were on our itinerary, but also off the beaten path because we had the "squirrel" attention span and would see something neat and Alan would take us. Not only did he know where everything is, he could tell us the history and more! I honestly don't know what my favorite part of our tour was, seeing all of Scotland or hanging out with Alan for two days. This truly was the best experience I have ever had traveling abroad. From the moment I contacted the tour company, they were rich with ideas and kindness about our experience. They wanted our time to be spent how we wanted to spend it, but also get the most out of Scotland. My only regret is that we did not do more tours or longer tours all over Scotland with this company!

Every detail of our tour was wonderful. Our tour guide Alan was so knowledgeable and a joy to spend our days sightseeing with. We had only two days and truly enjoyed getting a glimpse of beautiful Scotland. A big thank you to Alan and the tour company for making our trip so special. We will be back to explore more!

We had a wonderful day tour with Michael to the Highlands and Glencoe. Michael was very informative about anything we ask him about and he lived around the corner from where we stayed in Sterling. He was very patient with us and made lots of photo stops along the way. The scenery and the history he told us as we drove along was fantastic even when there was a little rain. We ended our tour and said goodbye to Michael and had a wonderful dinner at the restaurant Brea that Scottish Guilded Tours reserved for us . I would highly recommend Scottish Guided Tours to everyone looking for a wonderful Scottish adventure.
