Private tours in Scotland put the Highlands, islands, and cities at your pace. No shared coaches, no fixed timetables – just you, your group, and an experienced local driver-guide in a luxury Mercedes. We design each day around your interests, whether that means Loch Ness, the Isle of Skye, Glen Coe, Speyside distilleries, or a multi-day route along the North Coast 500.
Who it's for
Private tours suit couples, families, and small groups who want flexibility and comfort. First-time visitors wanting a curated introduction, guests with specific interests – whisky, castles, Outlander, wildlife – or corporate travellers seeking discreet, high-quality transport. We also work with chauffeur services and estates and castles for tailored logistics.
What's included
Every private tour includes a dedicated driver-guide, luxury Mercedes vehicle, and door-to-door collection from your accommodation or agreed meeting point. Fuel, driver time and local knowledge are included. Entry fees, meals and activities are arranged to suit your plans. We can advise on stops, book distillery or castle visits, and adapt for weather. For airport arrivals, Inverness Airport transfers can connect with a half-day or full-day tour.
