    Awesome Tour of Scotland Highlights

    David ran an amazing tour for our group, customizing to ensure we had a great experience. History, stories, and fun along the way, with the best place we had in Scotland at the stop for lunch. Hairy coos and castles, local tastes and sights, what more could you want from a beautiful day!

    We had the delightful pleasure of having Alec as our guide in Edinburg and St Andrew’s. He provided fascinating historical antidotes and pointed out many stunning sites. He possesses a generous spirit, and it was evident throughout our 10 hours with him that he genuinely enjoys sharing his knowledge and expertise in Scottish history!!

    Wonderful experience!

    My mother and I spent 11 hours (round trip via car from Edinburgh) touring the highlands with Justin and it exceeded our expectations! He was knowledgeable, engaging, and tailored the experience especially according to our interests. He also knew the best spot to stop for delicious scones and tea along the way! I would highly recommend Justin to anyone who wants an extra special private tour.

    Neil - knowledgeable and efficient

    Neil did a great job on our day tour to St. Andrews and Falkland. Stopping at small towns along the way and reliving history made for an enriching experience. And we got to visit the Pro shop at St. Andrews Old Course! Thanks for great narration along the way -especially about Single Malts, our mutual passion.
