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.

The romance of the Scottish Highlands is world famous and this tour will leave you wanting to explore more. If you want a bit more time to do a bit of exploring please request a customized tour which can be extended to allow the time required.

Your Edinburgh tour itinerary

1. From your pick up point we will take a scenic drive into the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National park. 2. At Tyndrum we will stop for a toilet stop at the famous Green Welly Tea Room. Where you can pick up some souvenirs and some sandwiches for lunch. 3. As we continue North into the Highlands you will notice the change in the scenery. We will have a couple of stops at various scenic points as we approach our main destination, Glencoe. 4. Glencoe is a dramatic glacial valley with an other worldy feel to it. Here we will stop and enjoy some snacks as we take in the majestic panoramic views with a short hike to a better vantage point for photographs 5. After lunch we will start our return journey and once again watch in awe as the landscape changes to that of the Scottish Lowlands. Still full of mountains and rivers with an equal but notably different beauty. 6. We will return to your drop off location. Anywhere in the Central Belt of Scotland.
