Incredible private tour of the Highlands! Excellent communications beforehand between louis and Scott. Asked in advance what we would like to experience is their website and was given advice based upon the weather forecast. On time pick up and drop off at our accommodations! Very comfortable transportation for our family of five. Scott wad knowledgeable, safe, friendly, and easy to get on with. The weather was a bit dodgy and Scott was super flexible and made sure we saw everything and had ample time to relax and explore. We did the glen or tour and visited Doune Castle. The Geography was breathtakingly beautiful and majestic and exceeded our expectations for awe and natural beauty. We enjoyed the small towns we stopped in and the food recommendations. We felt like we were traveling with a family member and would highly recommend this this tour.Castles

Scott was our tour guide for a day trip to the Highlands. He arrived promptly, had a very clean and comfortable SUV and most importantly he was a great host for the day. He had a great knowledge about a lot of topics beyond, and helped us see Stirling castle, a great waterfall and the Highlands ( we went to Glencoe) lunch at the bakery in Callander was delicious and easy as well. Easy to talk to, the day flew by. Would definitely hire him for other tours if we return to Edinburgh!Highland tour

Our highland day trip with Scott was phenomenal. He customised the day to fit our needs/interests, and asked if we would like to stop or skip certain activities along the way. We stopped at Deanston distillery for a 1hour tasting/tour and it was wonderful! Because of this, we needed to rearrange our day, and Scott walked us through all our options. He was professional, communicative, knowledgeable and very friendly. The entire drive was comfortable and safe, and we stopped at Mhor bakery ( definitely recommended). The weather was a bit rainy/cloudy/cold given the time of year, but Scott helped us make the most of it- and he took some lovely photos of us throughout the day. If your looking for a great trip out of Edinburgh, look no further!Distillery tour

We just completed a whirlwind trip through several countries and took several tours. Without question this was our favourite tour of all. Scott is a great conversationalist, thoughtful host and superb at imparting his knowledge of history. It was if he knew our family for a long time as we shared many great laughs. He's also a great photographer and caught many good family photos of us along the way. We highly recommend this full day 5- star experience.Day trip

Scott was an excellent guide and was clearly extremely knowledgeable. We loved his consistent flow of facts throughout the comfortable ride. He was friendly, professional, calm. Flexible. We saw several beautiful sights in the Highlands paired with an informative historical narrative. He also even gave us a whole or restaurant recommendations once we were back in the city. We are lucky we had him as a guide and you would be too.Highland review

Scott was a fabulous tour guide! He was very knowledgeable about a variety of subjects and could carry on a conversation during the entire day. You could tell he is passionate about Scotland and sharing with visitors. This tour was magical with the snow covered hills and mountains and fog in the valleys. We were lucky when the clouds broke enough to see the peaks. So glad we booked this tour!Winter your

We did our tour with Scott and it was such a wonderful experience! We had limited time in Edinburgh wanted to feel like we could actually see the Highlands and Scott was so flexible in working with us to experience so many different places! It was also so comfortable getting around in his van, and even with the weather being gloomy and rainy, we still had a magical time due to his vast knowledge of the region and dedication to picking unique spots that we could still enjoy! Thank you Scott for such a wonderful day!Edinburgh/ Highlands

Scott was an amazing guide! He knows plenty of details and historic facts about the places. He was incredible, my family and I decided to make this tour on new years day and I am so grateful because Scott helped us to adapt the route so we can make the best of the time taking in to account everything was closed. I highly recommend this tour, it gave us such a special perspective of the Highlands; we were very very lucky! And the scenery just wow! When we get back to Scotland we'll be doing more tours with you!Scenery tour
