Great guide, great day, great experience! - Absolutely amazing day. One of our highlights of the trip. So nice having the driver for the windy roads as I had been driving up to this point. Plus great facts and storytelling while he drove, and plenty of good jokes to boot! Billy was great, the van was really nice and comfortable. He was so hospitable and knew so much, you could tell he really loves giving these tours. Plus he really listened to us and effectively created a custom tour to and from Glencoe (from Inverness). I’d recommend skipping Fort William and getting food at the Glencoe visitor center instead. Leave time for a hike in Glencoe, maybe even bring blankets and food for a picnic, tons of great spots and it is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been.

Great tour with our adult children - We loved our private tour with Billy as our tour guide for our party of 5. He was entertaining,funny and knowledgeable. Regaling us with the history of the clans and information about places of interest on the way to Glencoe and back. We were able to customize the tour so that our children could have time for a short hike and still visit the locations that interested us. The Mercedes van was comfortable and Billy is an excellent driver-not to be minimized on the sometimes narrow roads around Glencoe. We would definitely book another tour with Billy and Highland Private Tours.

Bespoke Highland Private Tour of a Lifetime! - Lawrence Maclean with Highlander Private Tours saved the day when another company cancelled our booking a few weeks before our trip. Turns out it was even better as Lawrence was able to create a bespoke trip tailored to our desires. Lawrence was FANTASTIC! He is local with a wealth of knowledge about the area, Scottish history & culture, we learned so much. We will definitely be using Highlander Private Tours again and can’t recommend them highly enough!

Disappointed with driver - Slow driving. Didn’t tell us that taking a bit extra time will end up skipping most other itineraries. Demanded extra money. Skipped most itinerary.
