Why this is the Best Tour of the Scottish Highlands

Enjoy Scotland’s wild beauty on this guided tour with Scottish Guided Tours. Our private tours of Scotland are crafted for visitors to Scotland seeking authentic experiences, guided by a friendly and knowledgeable local guide. Journey north into the Highlands, through landscapes rich in legend, history and natural wonder.

Travel through The Trossachs National Park, a stunning region of shimmering lochs, glens and forested hills known as the “Gateway to the Highlands.” Pause to meet our famous Highland Cattle (Hairy Coo’s) up close, and make some new furry friends.

Continue your journey to Loch Tay and the serene village of Kenmore, a peaceful Highland gem surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Stroll through the enchanting Hermitage Woods where towering Douglas firs and cascading waterfalls inspired poets and enchanted Queen Victoria and if time allows, explore the riverside town of Dunkeld, with its ancient cathedral ruins and historic streets steeped in Scottish charm.

As your day draws to a close, enjoy a final photo stop at the magnificent Forth Rail Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and masterpiece of Victorian engineering. Its striking red spans across the Firth of Forth mark a fitting finale to one of the most scenic day tours of Scotland from Edinburgh.

Ten Star Review!
Ten Star Review!
It’s been my dream to visit Scotland, and Niall McOwan of Scottish Guided Tours made this the trip of my lifetime. He took wonderful care of us for five days; he created so many wonderful experiences for us - I’ll never forget it - we took his Outlander Tour - as a Scot, he is a wealth of Scots history, plus - he knows Outlander the show. We missed him terribly when it was over. Ten stars!

First, if you are contemplating booking a tour with “Scottish Guided Tours”, we highly recommend you contact them now!! Spectacular!! We were not sure how to tackle our planned travels to the Isle of Skye so we just googled “3-day tour / Isle of Skye”, and SGT (Scottish Guided Tours) was the first listed. Thank goodness for us...

Please book now - YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! We only wished we could have had even more time with Eddie and his phenomenal expertise about Scotland once we arrived in Edinburgh, with stops in Falkirk and Stirling. Eddie made the start of our vacation truly magical. We are so grateful and immensely appreciative. Thank you!

We booked two tours with them: a one-day Hadrian’s Wall Tour with Alan and a four-day Stirling, Isle of Skye and Highland tour with Murray. Both guides were amazing and made our trip unforgettable.

It is rare nowadays to say that something is perfection, but my fellow trip companions and I would agree that our tour with Scottish Guided Tours led by Niall and Andrew was just that. During our ten-day visit to Scotland, we journeyed on a three-day Outlander tour with Niall as our guide and a one-day tour of St. Andrew's led by Andrew...

Eddie, our most professional, congenial guide, was excellent. Our four days with him were seamless. He filled us with the zest of the Inverness/Isle of Skye area and people. My only regret was not having him with us for our entire trip. Thank you, Eddie and Scotland Guided Tours.
Scottish Guided Tours = Best Decision
Scottish Guided Tours = Best Decision
It can be difficult choosing a tour company based on online reviews but choosing to travel with Scottish Guided Tours was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made, and we are so glad we did. We spent three days exploring Skye and the Highlands with Niall as our guide, and our trip was so amazing that it completely surpassed all of our expectations. We loved it!
