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.

This tour is designed to give you a real "Scottish Experience" from our turbulent history and our ancient culture and folklore. Tales of war heroes and mythical creatures will capture your imagination as we walk in the footsteps of giants and the bloody battlefields of a time long gone. We will get up close to beautiful creatures, both mythical and real and sample some of Scotland's famous (or infamous) cuisine as we step into the beauty and serenity that is Scotland's countryside with majestic views of lochs and mountains. We will visit magnificent palaces that will take us back to the days of fantastic feasts in great halls and you will have the chance to enjoy a taste of Scotland's most famous export, The Water of Life. This is about as much a taste of Scotland as you can experience in a single day and will leave you full but still hungry for more.
We had a lovely time with David C. on our tour including Stirling Castle, Hairy Coos and the Kelpies. He is a very personable and informative guide, and has a great sense of humor and is loaded with great details on the history of each location. Highly recommend you book a tour with David!!
David was great. He was extremely knowledgeable. Best of all he introduced us to IRN BRU soft drinks.
What a wonderful trip. David was humorous, and lightning and just great fun to be with. The trip itself was marvelous. I thought Sterling castle was just amazing. So much information that it made the fairly long trip for every minute.
Fantastic tour! Dave is a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Every part of the tour—Kelpies, Castle, Hairy Coos, and lunch at a real local pub—was wonderful. We would recommend Dave without hesitation, and we will definitely try ToursByLocals again in our future travels.
Great tour. Dave had some deep knowledge about Scotland's history, especially that of around Stirling Castle. It was a real pleasure.
David is a very friendly and engaging man. We enjoyed our time with him and his stories of Scottish history. We visited Stirling, a distillery, and had a wonderful lunch. His vehicle was perfect for the four of us. Highly recommended!
