Private tours from Inverness put the Highlands at your pace. No shared coaches, no fixed timetables -just you, your group and an experienced local driver-guide in a luxury Mercedes. We are based in Inverness and design each day around your interests, whether that means Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle, the Isle of Skye, Glen Coe and Glen Etive, Speyside distilleries, or a bespoke route across the North Coast 500.
Who it's for
These tours suit couples, families, and small groups who want flexibility and comfort. Perhaps you are visiting Scotland for the first time and want a curated introduction. Or you have specific interests -whisky, castles, Outlander sites, wildlife -and want a route built around them. Corporate travellers and executive clients also use our chauffeur services in Inverness for discreet, high-quality transport. Whatever your style, a private tour means the day is yours.
What's included
Every private tour includes a dedicated driver-guide, luxury Mercedes vehicle, and door-to-door collection from your Inverness accommodation or agreed meeting point. Fuel, driver time and local knowledge are included. Entry fees to attractions, meals and activities are arranged separately according to your plans. We can advise on the best stops, book distillery tours or castle visits, and adapt the route for weather or your energy levels. For arrivals by air, we offer Inverness Airport transfers that can connect seamlessly with a half-day or full-day tour.
Typical itineraries
Popular options include a Loch Ness tour from Inverness with Urquhart Castle and hidden viewpoints; a full-day Glen Coe tour via the Great Glen; and a Skye day trip to Portree and the Trotternish peninsula. For whisky lovers, our Speyside whisky tour covers distilleries and scenic Spey valley. Multi-day routes -NC500, Orkney, Skye over two or three days -extend the same private, flexible approach.

Why Venture Highland
We are Inverness-based and have spent years guiding in the Highlands. Our vehicles are unmarked where discretion matters, our pacing is calm, and we know when to suggest a viewpoint, a lunch stop or a quieter alternative. We do not rush; we tailor. For more on how we work, see our About page.
