Private Day Tours of Scotland

Discover the magic of Scotland with The Scottish Tour Guide’s private day tours, departing from Glasgow and Edinburgh. Our tours are all about exploring Scotland’s most iconic landmarks, hidden gems, and spectacular landscapes, all in comfort, style, and good company. Whether you’re here for a flying visit or looking to make the most of a single day, we’ll make sure every moment is packed with authentic Scottish charm.

Travel with your own expert local guide, who’s not only full of fascinating stories and insider knowledge, but also knows all the best photo stops, quiet corners, and scenic detours that big bus tours miss. You’ll explore at your own pace, stopping where you please and soaking up the scenery, because that’s how Scotland should be experienced.

Our private day tours from Glasgow and Edinburgh take you straight to the heart of the action. Step back in time at Stirling Castle, one of Scotland’s most dramatic strongholds, or enjoy the tranquil beauty of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. Witness engineering marvels like the Falkirk Wheel, meet the majestic Kelpies, or venture into the rugged Highlands for sweeping glens, misty mountains, and perhaps even a sighting of a Highland cow or two.

Prefer something a little different? You can also visit charming coastal towns, explore historic distilleries, or trace the footsteps of your ancestors on a bespoke heritage tour. Every experience is private and fully customisable, so whether you’re a history lover, whisky enthusiast, nature seeker, or photographer chasing the perfect shot, we’ll tailor the perfect day just for you.

At The Scottish Tour Guide, we believe exploring Scotland should feel personal, relaxed, and full of wonder. That’s why our private day tours combine local expertise, comfortable transport, and genuine Scottish hospitality, giving you a day you’ll remember long after you’ve returned home.
