A guided tour of Scotland? I provide driver-guided, personalized, private
tours for families, couples and small groups of up to 8 passengers.
I can tailor-make sightseeing itineraries
from just a few hours in duration to 2 weeks, including city tours, day trips,
Highland multi-day tours and Island hopping. I offer a flexible approach to
touring which can incorporate the places you want to visit with the sights I
recommend as 'must sees'! Check my website for sample itineraries to inspire
you: Stirling, St Andrews, Oban, Loch Ness, the Isle of Skye, the Borders,
Orkney, whisky distilleries and our history-rich cities are some of the many
fascinating locations that can be visited. All my tours are conducted in a
relaxed, no rush, but informative manner and as your friendly, experienced and
knowledgeable driver and guide, I promise that I will show you the
off-the-beaten-track Scotland that the tour buses cannot reach! Contact: Greg

to the infamous Bealach na Ba pass, join us for an iconic self-guided driving tour that's tailored
to you from 6 to 12 days. Whether you're a nature lover, thrill seeker or whisky connoisseur,
experience Scotland the way you've always dreamed of from behind the wheel of one of our
expedition-prepared Land Rovers. In Northern Ireland we take The Coastal Causeway Route, in Ireland
the Wild Atlantic Way and in Wales the Sonwdonia 360 as the focus. Tel: +44 (0) 33 3339 6005.
