Hi there! I'm Neil and I've lived in the Highlands of Scotland almost all my life. More than 8 generations of my family have been born and bred here and my clan, The Munro clan, is one of the largest in the area - you don't get all that without picking up a bit of local knowledge in the process!! I can driver-guide you on any tour you'd like to take from castles to distilleries, amazing views to quiet beaches and the famous Loch Ness to the scenes of Outlander, Scotland has it all. Local knowledge and stories that they don't always put in the history books really make the places we visit come alive and will stay with you for years to come. I will collect you from your accommodation, whether that's central or rural, or directly off your cruise ship from the ports of Invergordon, Edinburgh, Portree or Ullapool and return you there at the end of your tour. I drive an air conditioned, 8-seater Mercedes-Benz with leather interior, privacy glass and charging points for your convenience. Travelling this way ensures that everyone is comfortable, has unrestricted views and your tour is personal, friendly and allows access to some of the less visited gems that Scotland has to offer. I love the challenge of tailoring bespoke tours to my passenger's needs so don't be afraid to ask for something different! I've lived and breathed Scotland's history, culture and heritage for most of my life and it's my love for my country that I enjoy sharing with others. I've worked in the tourism industry for over 15 years guiding walks and tours and hosting visitors to our area. I'd love to help you make memories of Scotland that will last a lifetime, all you have to do is sit back and enjoy your tour! ToursByLocals guide since 2019 and have worked in the Scottish Tourism industry for the previous 15 years. Member of the Scottish Independent Tour Operators Association (SITOA). Member of the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM). I don't have any restrictions on my tour.

October 2026Thanks kate for your very kind words. I hope the sheep dog trial was as good as you hoped and your cat was healthy and happy to see you when you got home!

Neil provided what I can only describe as a concierge-level private day tour experience. We spent two wonderful days touring Scotland with him as our driver, starting at Uig on the Isle of Skye and ending at our hotel in Edinburgh, with many spectacular stops along the way including the Quiraing, Fairy Pools, Eilean Donan, Glencoe and beyond. He didn’t just drive us from...

October 2026Hi Steve It was a pleasure joining you for this part of your trip and was really enjoyable to show you both round Skye after what sounds like an amazing, but very busy wedding. Nice to just slow down and enjoy the delights of what Skye and the highlands had to offer, as this was "your time". Thanks very much for the opportunity to guide you round, and thank you for the...

Neil went above and beyond to make sure everyone in our group was happy with the excursion. Friendly, accommodating - I can’t say enough how much better an option a tour like this is, over what is available through the cruise line. Highly recommend.

Neil M was such a knowledgeable and humorous guide. He worked with us to create a great itinerary, patiently answered 8 million questions, and was super friendly! All 6 of us agree it was the best day of our trip and highly recommend!
