Private tours

Scotland Private Tour

Private transport for a self-guided day out or multi-day itinerary. We provide the vehicle and driver, plan the agreed collections and stops, and confirm the schedule and price before booking. Admission tickets, tour guides, meals and passenger accommodation are not included unless specifically agreed in writing.

From London the outbound is usually planned as a travel day. Alternatively we can begin in Edinburgh or Glasgow if you fly or take the train north; repositioning the vehicle is shown on the quotation.

Common itineraries include Edinburgh and Stirling; the Trossachs to Glencoe and Fort William; Loch Ness and Inverness; Skye and the west coast.

Highland roads are slower than the map suggests, so daily distances are planned around legal driving hours.

Proposed stops
Edinburgh · Stirling · Glencoe and Fort William · Loch Ness and Inverness · optional Skye
Indicative duration
Usually four to seven days, with daily distances planned around legal driving hours. Journey times and durations are planning estimates and depend on traffic, the number of stops and time spent at each. Your quotation states the reserved hours and proposed routing; it is not an unlimited day.
London collection
Any London address, or Edinburgh or Glasgow by arrangement.
Return
Return on the final day as set out in the agreed itinerary.
Passengers and luggage
Standard 8 Seater for up to 8 passengers, Executive Luxury 16 Seater for up to 16, each plus the driver. Tell us how many large cases, cabin bags and specialist items you will carry. We check the load against your passenger numbers and confirm the suitable vehicle in your written quotation.
Included
the vehicle and driver for the reserved hours; planning of the agreed collections, stops and return; fuel.
Book separately
admission tickets and timed-entry slots; tour guides; meals and refreshments; passenger accommodation. Where an attraction uses timed entry, book your slots first and send them to us so the schedule can be finalised around them. We cannot guarantee attraction availability, special access or walking distances.
Driver arrangements
For multi-day journeys the quotation itemises, where applicable, driver accommodation, driver subsistence, crossings and tolls, and whether a second driver is needed to stay within legal driving hours. These are not included unless they appear on the quotation.
