We had such a wonderful day with Will, even with the rain! (He taught us the word "smirr" for a light rain, which I misheard as smurf rain, which I think amused him). We are a family of 5 expat Americans living in the UK, looking for a private tour during these times of Covid. He had hand sanitiser in the van and was appropriately masked up and social distanced throughout the day. Will took us to an excellent coffee shop to get us started (he has great recommendations for coffee shops in Edinburgh), then guided us through Stirling Castle. He had asked us what we hoped to see and do during the day in advance so he could plan the day out and he went out of his way to try to hunt down a Highland cow for us, despite the off season (most are tucked away in barns during the wet season). He was super flexible for when the kids got worn out at a place or the road was closed to a site. The best part was chatting about a tour we took to Stonehenge and he piped up, "Want to see some standing stones you can touch?" Not 5 minutes later he had driven us to an isolated farmers field where we got to touch these beautiful old stones, standing in the mist. He took us to a very tasty place for hot pies and chips for lunch and was great about letting us eat in the van while he took a walk in the rain, since Covid restrictions meant no eating in restaurants and the weather was not great. And he was great about pointing out when we could and could not take a bathroom break, so we didn't end up with any uncomfortable bladders. All in all, it was a great day thanks to Will's stories and enthusiasm. We wouldn't hesitate to use his services again one day.

Went to the fairy pools without a guide and it was stunning. Weather wasn’t great but water was so clear and beautiful. Would have been a better experience on a warm day. Wear decent footwear as when raining it gets slippy

Ed was the perfect guide for a Girl's Day Trip. We had some extenuating circumstances on a previous tour earlier in the week that precluded us from completing it. We decided to try a private tour for the end of our trip and so glad we did. We had a few ideas of what we wanted to see and he was able to help us customize a day trip to see as many of those items as we could. He was a perfect tour guide and so patient and kind when we wanted to stop and look at various things and places (hairy cows and shopping!). We never felt rushed during our trip and he was also able to guide us through several castles so we go to see everything in our allotted time. Had we toured these places by ourselves I feel like we would have missed so much. We had a great time on our day trip and I would highly recommend Ed for a private tour of Scotland and the country side.

The Scottish Highlands are part of a historic region of Scotland you should definitely visit while in Edinburgh, especially Loch Ness.

For 13-hours, you'll see the best the Scottish Highlands have to offer plus the famous Loch. From the royal court of Linlithgow Palace to the battles of independence that took place at Stirling Castle.

Besides the fascinating yet turbulent history, you will get to enjoy the mesmerizing landscape of the Highlands and admire the nature that surrounds you. With many pit stops for breaks and photo-taking, you can truly capture the essence of the Highlands. See the indigenous hairy cows, wander through quaint towns unravaged by time and explore villages that offer a peek to how locals live.

Evelyn is an absolutely fantastic tour guide. She really knows her city well and brings the myths and legends to life with her amazing stories. The whole family enjoyed the afternoon (despite the rain, which didn't really matter) and in fact it was the highlight of our weekend in Edinburgh. I would thoroughly recommend the myths and legends tour with Evelyn to anybody who is planning a visit to this really interesting city.

Luke picked up myself and 2 friends on time in a clean lovely van stocked with delicious snacks (fresh fruit, chips, crackers, cookies) looking dapper with a fabulous red beard and traditional kilt! He knows how to read his audience, giving great information at the right moments, leaving the group to enjoy the scenery at our own pace, and joining in for a laugh. The opportunity to see unique smaller sites without the hassle of a bus and a big group is invaluable. The selection of stops and the absolutely fantastic setting for lunch at the Kingshouse Hotel were varied, classy, and gorgeous. This was the absolutely highlight of our overall wonderful jaunt to Scotland. Thank you Luke!!

Andrew gave us the best experience on a trip out to Cawdor Castle from Inverness. He was on time, helpful with my elderly mother, kind, full of knowledge and just plain welcoming. He picked us up at our B&B in Inverness, promptly at the time arranged, told us all about the castle during our drive out there, and told us if we needed more time at the castle, to just let him know and he could adjust as needed. On the way back to Inverness, since it was my mother's first time in Scotland, he drove us by Culloden battlefield to take a look at the site as well as the hairy coos there at no extra charge, even though we were his last trip for the day and it took time out of his own personal schedule. He was a gentleman in the truest sense of the word and I would highly recommend him and his car services and tours to anyone who visits the area. The prices were reasonable, the service outstanding and you definitely won't be disappointed.

The road trip in highland with Grant took our breath away. I was visiting with my brother and found Grant as our tour guide. He took us to some very remote hike that was all natural and it was blended with Scottish culture that I felt it was the most heart lifting trip that I had in a long while. He knows where to have fun for local festivals and highland hikes. Thank you Grant.

10. 2 Day Trip to The Isle Of Skye
Fixed Price for up to five passengers and if you book then you will be getting me, Andrew as your tour guide. I have several years experience both as a walking tour guide and as a driving tour guide. I like things to be fun, interesting and flexible. Because I use a car and not a small bus then the tours can be dynamic and personalised easily. I can go down a few roads that the tour buses cannot go and park in a few places the tour buses cannot park. As far as possible I steer clear of the hoards of other tourists. I like to have fun. My head is jam packed full of stories and every time I learn something new that makes my jaw drop then I just cant wait to tell folk about it. I love questions. Ask me anything you like but as far as possible please just ask Scotland questions. I don't do relationship questions without the risk of potentially terrible answers. Ask at your own risk. I'm happy if my lovely visitors are happy. I'll do my very best for you.

Highly recommended and would definitely book with him again.
