Our driver, Jim, was amazing. We are a family of 5 and really did not have a specific agenda. Just to see the beautiful highlands and whatever else Jim thought would be good for us and he did not disappoint. On our way out we stopped in a small town for some coffee, pastries and hairy coo’s! Then on to the highlands. Mountains, waterfalls, rivers, railroads, castles, we saw it all and Jim was a constant plethora of information! We traveled down some single lane roads you could never go down on a big tour bus, we found and stopped at the exact location pictures from James Bond Skyfall were taken and recreated the photos, minus the Aston Martin.
If you want to get off the beaten path and see things you could never do on a tour bus or just want to customize your adventure, this is the tour for you.
I will also add you will do it in comfort. The vehicle was a small Mercedes van and quite comfortable for 9 hours on the road!

Our tour guide was Scott. He was one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. He was on-time, very thoughtful, a gentleman, scholar, and very funny. He was a fantastic ambassador for Scotland and helped make this tour memorable. We fell in love with the countryside and love Scotland’s rich history. We’ll definitely visit this area again.

We were on a UK tour for my 40th birthday, and Edinburgh was our second stop after Belfast, and after that we headed to London. We booked the private Glencoe tour on my actual birthday-- It was hands down the highlight of our whole trip! We saw so much in one day from the castle where Outlander and Monty Python were filmed, to highland cows, the grave of Rob Roy and small waterfall near the church and graveyard, Glencoe bogs and majestic mountains, my partner got to be Daniel Craig for a moment recreating the Glencoe scene in Skyfall, we had lunch at a local pub, we even saw standing stones that were over four THOUSAND years old. Scott was a fantastic tour guide the whole way- sharing loads of information about the country, history, people, and more. He was witty, fun, checked in with what we needed (food, bathroom, etc.) and how we were doing, and made our trip even more special than we thought possible. He changed things up when the rain came pouring (we visited in April), and kept us seeing amazing things the whole day. We were even able to try a little whisky to celebrate my birthday. Thank you SO MUCH for making our trip so memorable and special. We feel lucky to have been able to spend the day with Scott, and to celebrate my birthday this way.

Scott, our guide was such a deft driver and wonderful story teller. He let us go at our own pace and took us to some of the loveliest spots. We highly recommend Scott. He’s very entertaining and friendly.

My family and I did a day tour of Glencoe with Scott. It was a highlight of our trip! Scott picked us up from our hotel and was just an absolute delight from the moment we met him. As we were driving out of Edinburgh Scott took us by some must-see sites and talked about the history/background. As we made it to and through Glencoe, we saw bridges, monuments, and just absolutely picturesque lochs, mountains, waterfalls, and landscapes. We stopped and fed some highland cows that were just adorable! We also stopped at a mini Stonehenge type area with stones that were thousands of years old. We visited a number of quaint and lovely villages to break up the drive and do a bit of shopping with coffee breaks etc, which included stopping at a world-renowned chocolatier for a tasting! The tour ended with Scott dropping us off at our hotel. Again, this day was an absolute highlight and that was due in no small part to Scott. He was so lovely and funny and knowledgeable that it just made our day. I can't say enough nice things about the day and highly recommend it to anyone considering that tour.
