Private Tours Scotland - Edinburgh

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Private Tours Scotland curated a perfect bespoke experience for our recent family trip. The team gracefully juggled input from seven adults (ranging in age from 25 to 65, each with different suggestions) to create an itinerary that pleased everyone. Responsive, professional and very friendly individuals from our first online inquiry through the planning process and on the ground in Scotland. We truly enjoyed every beautiful venue, lovely accommodations, interesting food options, and the luxurious transportation. We could not be more pleased with Private Tours!

My husband and I worked with Private Tours Scotland to plan our incredible 10-night stay in Scotland. Private Tours Scotland was so easy to work with — they presented us with an initial itinerary and then helped us fine tune it to exactly what we wanted. They even made our dinner reservations (some of the most delicious food ever!).

We began our trip in stunning Edinburgh (my new favorite city!) with day trips to St. Andrews and the Cromlix for tea. After four nights at the luxurious Balmoral, we headed northwest to the beautiful Isle of Eriska and stayed at the gorgeous Isle of Eriska Resort and Spa (you’ll feel like royalty at this country estate).

Next, we made our way by ferry to the Isle of Skye and spent two days exploring the magical landscape, seeing sites like the Fairy Pools, Kilt Rock, and the Storr.

We crossed the magnificent Skye bridge and headed inland to Gairloch to spend one night at the exquisite Shieldaig Lodge before making our way to Loch Ness for a private Loch Ness cruise (so much fun!) and finally to Inverness to spend our last night in Scotland at the lovely Ness Walk Hotel.

This was one of the most amazing trips I’ve been on, and I can’t say enough kind things about Private Tours, Amy (our Private Tours contact), and Craig who drove us across Scotland. Spending 10 days in a car with a stranger can be a bit awkward, but we immediately felt comfortable with Craig and having him as our driver made our experience even better.

I highly recommend Private Tours Scotland if you want a first class adventure straight out of a fairy tale.

From start to finish, Alan K. and Private Tours Scotland were the perfect partners to help us plan an epic girls trip to Scotland. The itinerary was seamless, all of our activity guides were extremely passionate and knowledgeable, and our driver Alan C. took great care of us. This was the first time I had ever used a tour company to book a trip, and I can't believe I've been missing out on this level of service and professionalism! I highly recommend Private Tours Scotland to anyone looking for a first-class experience.

We have nothing but great things to say about this company. The trip was planned meticulously and once we arrived, we had such a stress-free vacation. Our driver was wonderful- he handled everything so that we could sit back, enjoy the scenery and relax. Highly recommend traveling with Private Tours Scotland.

We just returned from a 10 day tour of Scotland. It was the experience of a lifetime that we had hoped it would be! Alasdair and Amy put together a well rounded and well paced experience that met all of our hopes for the trip (a tall order). Our driver, Neil, was a pure joy! He was professional, warm, knowledgeable, intelligent, kind, and incredibly witty! During the trip, Amy was supportive and efficient, her service was exceptional. We had flexibility through the trip and could move through the itinerary at a pace that was enjoyable and allowed us to focus on the sites and activities that were important to us. When I return to focus more on our favorite parts of the tour, I will defiantly be booking with Private Tours Scotland.

They organized a custom 8 day tour of exactly what I wanted! Exceptional customer service even with a tiny question at 7pm. This trip was for my 50th bday and a first trip to Scotland and it exceeded my expectations! We didn’t have to think about hotels, dinner reservations, or driving and that gave us so much peace of mind to just enjoy every bit of Scotland!

My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful vacation to Scotland several weeks ago. It was perfectly planned and orchestrated by the friendly and professional people at Private Tours Scotland. We stayed in stunning places and ate amazing food and enjoyed the company of our driver who was very helpful and a great source of information. I highly recommend Private Tours Scotland.

I stumbled upon this company whilst looking for the perfect service to provide us a private tour of Scotland. We wanted the flexibility to be on our own and move as fast or slow as we wanted to. Our driver, Brian, was so knowledgeable about Scotland and for my husband who hadn’t been back to Scotland in almost 50 years, a pal to talk about all things Scotland. We enjoyed his company so much that at the end it was hard to say good without shedding a wee tear. Our boat trip on the Loch Ness with Gordon was epic. A man born and raised on the Loch. His stories and love of Scotland were charming. Then our amazing walking tour guide Liz, who took us all over Edinburgh was like having your own historian! She captivated us with her stories and love of her city. This
Company made a trip that was in the making for many years a dream come true. I would highly recommend them. Oh! And let’s not forget Ophelie who helped us plan our journey. Lovely to work with!
