A tour built just for us - Noel worked with me to create a full-day, bespoke experience based on our interests. Not only did he have amazing suggestions that made our day truly special, he was also an incredibly knowledgeable and fun guide with a treasure trove of his own stories and experiences (be sure to ask him about his Dad). The coach was spotless and comfortable, the snacks were perfect (not to mention the gin). We loved the day we spent with Noel and hope to return to Scotland and have him take us to the Isle of Skye.

Amazing tour with Donald! - Donald did a phenomenal job taking us to the Scottish highlands and telling us multiple stories past and present along the way. Donald was very easy going and was able to help answer many of the various questions we had along the way and also entertained us in ways to turn the places we were visiting into magical moments. It was clear he was very experienced and knowledgeable of all the places we went and knew the intricacies and interesting information about each along the way / hidden gems to show, etc. His hospitality was absolutely unmatched as well and we were very grateful for his guidance in making our tour so memorable!

Super knowledgeable and upbeat tour! - This was our second year touring with Noel. After finding him on Viator last year, we booked additional trips directly.
Noel is an excellent tour guide. He gets along with everyone of all ages from teens to 80s. He is always upbeat with a smile on his face and a funny quip to share. His detailed knowledge of the history is amazing. He has a tremendous ability to keep you engaged and entertained throughout the tour.

Fanatastic Private Tour of the Highlands!! - Noel from Bonnie Scotland Tours designed a customized 5 day tour for our family with Stuart our guide. Stuart took us to many many more sites that we could have possibly seen on our own. The van was new, clean, comfortable and fully stocked with snacks and drinks to our liking...including gf snacks for me. Stuart was able to make adjustments to the itinerary each day and even took us to some special locations that he knew that we needed to see. He went above and beyond to make sure that our tour was special, care free and so much fun! His music playlist in the van was 10/10. After 5 days we felt like old friends and saying goodbye to Stuart was not easy. He's the best!

Excellent tour with Noel!!! Highly recommend! - We had a fabulous day with Noel. He catered to our every wish of what to see in the Highlands. He was so knowledgeable of Scottish history and the Highlands area. He took us to a great little Inn for lunch and even talked us into trying haggis which we all agreed was good! His van was brand new and spotless! And he had a nice selection of drinks and snacks for our long journey. We so enjoyed spending the day with him and hearing all his knowledge and stories. Thanks Noel!

What an incredible day! - My family and I booked a private tour of Loch Lomond, Oban, and Glencoe in the Scottish Highlands, and it exceeded all our expectations.
Our guide, Noel, was an absolute gem. He picked us up in a comfortable van and instantly made us feel at home with his friendly banter and Scottish humour. He really knew his stuff and shared fascinating stories about the history and legends of the places we visited.
First stop was Loch Lomond, and I have to say, the beauty of this place left us all speechless. The crystal-clear waters and the stunning landscapes were like something out of a fairy tale. Noel took us on a short hike and even found the perfect spot for a picnic. We were surrounded by the awesome beauty of the Highlands, and it was a moment we'll never forget.
Then we headed to Oban, and boy, did we indulge in some delicious seafood, Noel had Fresh Oysters arranged especially for us! We went to a colluseam monument overlooking the charming coastal town and its harbour.
Finally, we reached Glencoe, and this place was simply awe-inspiring. The mountains and dramatic scenery were something straight out of a Hollywood movie. Noel told us all about the dark history of this Glencoe. We had plenty of time out of the van to explore this epic landscape.
All in all, this tour was an absolute highlight of our trip to Scotland. The personalized experience, the stunning locations, and Noel's fantastic company made it unforgettable. We're heading back to the States with incredible memories and a newfound love for Scotland. If you're visiting, do yourself a favor and book this tour with Bonnie Scotland Tours!

Oban, Glencoe and the highlands birthday bash and more! - Another great tour with Noel! This was our second trip with him while in Scotland. And he did not disappoint! One of the girls that was in party celebrated he birthday this day! The drive out from Edinburgh was beautiful and sunny. Oban was a beautiful town. We got to toast as well along the way. Noel put an amazing trip together for us. We can’t thank him and the people of Scotland enough for the kindness and hospitality!

A Perfect Private Tour with Stuart - Our Tour with Stuart as our guide was a dream come true. His early arrival and flexibility for our private tour set the perfect tone. Stuart's expertise in Scottish history added depth to our experience. The charming coastal town of Oban was one of the highlights. We even stopped for a specially arranged sampling of Oysters on our way home. We can't recommend Bonnie Scotland Tours and Stuart highly enough!
