Martin our tour guide was great. Covered everything in the tour and also included some extra sites based on our interests. The snacks provided were appreciated, and even bought some later to take home as gifts.

5 stars for Brian! We had a great time exploring Scotland and learning some history. From Robert the Bruce to highland cows, some stops in Glencoe, Oban and a castle, Brian was a lot of fun. Make sure he brings some carrots to feed the deer on your trip! He’s also a great photographer.

My family and I had a wonderful of the Highlands with Simon. He picked us up from our hotel and had a well planned route prepared for us. It was a very cold day with rain, wind and snow but our vehicle was comfy and warm, so the weather did not finish our experience a bit. The scenery was breathtaking and Simon was very knowledgeable. My teenaged kids enjoyed the whole trip. Our highlight was seeing perhaps 200 or so Red Deer in small herds next in one particular part of the tour. I would highly recommend Simon and this tour.

We had the best time with our tour guide, Martin! We had one full day to see as much of Scotland as we could and this was the perfect pick. Martin got us around efficiently and knew all the best spots to make the most of our time. On the way back my family asked each other which spot was each person’s favorite and I think we ended up naming them all. He made every minute worth it! We never felt rushed and could go at our own pace. Toasting to the highlands with the scotch Martin brought was a favorite memory we will never forget. Highly recommend this tour. You will not regret it!

On the 7th of March we did an amazing tour with Shak around Glasgow. He was incredible. I can not speak highly enough about our trip. We were blown away with what he showed us and his knowledge of the area. The car was big, spacious and clean, we did this as a family of 4 (2x parents + 21 female & 18 male). Every question we asked he either had an answer for or researched it for us. He took us to see highland cows and even brought snacks for them, we saw stunning landscapes and castles. Every stop he had recommendations about what to eat or which shops to go into. He made the day incredible for us. Best tour ever

My wife and I were in Glasgow for a short trip and Adam made sure we got the absolute most out of our private tour!! He didn’t have tons of history or trivia but we didn’t need that. He was really comfortable to be around, flexible to what we wanted to see most, and took great care of us, making sure we had plenty of coffee and food and photo opportunities. We went up until the last possible minute to see as much as possible and saw some truly incredible sights. And the ride was super comfortable! Highly recommend Adam and his family!

The driver/guide is very resourceful & made the trip meaningful for my family. We are happy with the whole trip.

This was a tour we won’t forget! Martin was on top of things and provided us with a carefree and magnificent experience. Having done a group tour before, private was the way to go. We were able to access spots the group tours can’t. Martin is extremely considerate and knowledgeable and was able to judge just what we needed to make the tour perfect for us. It was like we had a family friend sharing all the hidden gems and tips with us. If we return to Scotland, we will be contacting this company again!
