Hi my name is Dave and like yourself I have a passion for travel. I love to explore and discover the hidden gems that you can find anywhere in the world but sometimes it can take time to find them. That is where a private tour with a knowledgeable local guide stands out. Come with me and I will take you on a voyage of adventure and discovery as we explore the hidden secrets of my beautiful country and its remarkable history. My adventures are suitable for all and can be modified to meet the needs of any group from high activity thrill seekers to the more sedate scenic explorers. Don't worry, even our low activity tours will allow you to explore and discover some hidden gems. As an avid traveller I have experienced many tours and adventures and as such I have a good understanding of what makes a tour stand out. I have used this knowledge and experience in the design all of my tours to provide a fantastic experience for my guests. It is true that adventure and discovery can still be carried out in luxury and comfort and that is my main focus. I look forward to meeting you and your group as we embark on another adventure which has been modified to provide the unique experience you are looking for during your short visit to my incredible country. Now it is time to see Scotland your way. Dave C I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside the historic monuments, I will however accompany you and give you my insights where applicable.

Food Drinks Snacks
What's not included
Other: Personal expenses. - To avoid additional booking fees entrance fees into castles etc are not included and will be paid directly by guests. Details provided on request. - Again in order to avoid additional booking fees guests are asked to organise their own accommodation. I am happy to provide suggestions. Additionally the guides accommodation and evening meal should be covered by the guests. I am happy to add this to the total cost of the tour but that will incur a booking fee just to get my costs back. - accommodation should be booked well in advance to avoid disappointment.
