A trip to remember, and the perfect guides for Scotland! - What a fabulous trip and Alan, our guide was terrific! We truly saw the Highlands and the Isle of Skye and our only wish was that we could have stayed longer! We enjoyed every moment; whether it was a hike, lunch, quick stop for breath taking views or a nice chat in the van between stops. Could not have asked for a better trip. Highly recommend!

Unforgettable tour of Isle of Skye - 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 and so we just googled “3 day tour / Isle of Skye” and SGT (Scottish Guided Tours) was the first listed. Thank goodness for us. We were a group of 2 couples, good friends on a 3 day tour. We were all new to this type of experience. Niall was waiting in our Hotel lobby as we exit the elevator and we 4 are immediately aware that we are in for a real treat! He is in full Scottish traditional attire and was warmly welcoming and we must say looked fabulous! We were so comfortable in our tour van and as we made our way to the main highways we just happened to ask how we could get to the “Kelpies” when we returned to Edinburgh and… before we knew it we were there!! That was the awesome beginning to our 3 days. Niall’s knowledge and respect of and for Scottish heritage, history, languages, traditions, customs and lifestyle was abundant. We could listen to Niall talk all day and hope to again in the future. He did everything within his grasp to answer our questions, fulfill our requests and make sure we knew that this 3 day tour was for us and that he wanted to fulfill as many of our curiosities as possible. We truly feel our 3 full days traveling to The Isle of Skye, on the Isle of Skye and our return to Edinburgh were all well organized, formed to our wants as clients, caring about our needs, had a “no fuss” attitude when making last minute changes due to weather or circumstances out of our control. We did not confirm a dinner reservation for our first night. He quickly fixed our mistake and found us a restaurant that would take us 4 in at last minute. As we had already had a lovely lunch earlier, the meal we enjoyed that evening was wonderful and just an example of all the meals we would partake in for the 3 days. We ordered Sticky Toffee Pudding whenever possible and highly recommend that!! Our tour unfolded before us and Niall made it seem effortless. Again, we could not recommend SGT a higher recommendation. BOOK WITH SCOTTISH GUIDED TOURS NOW!!! To sum up our fabulous experience, as we said our good byes to Niall and turned to enter our hotel, Pam turned to me and said “we aren’t going to see Niall in the morning, are we?” And I answered “no” as we put our arms around each other and passed thru the door. Like the end of a movie!!!! Quite frankly Niall, we miss you, Kelly & Pam, Bruce & Dy

I wish I can give them a million-star rating. - tours for small groups. 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.  During the one-day tour, Alan took us to Rosslyn Chapel, Melrose Abbey and Hadrian’s Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that marks the northern frontier of the Roman Empire. He was very knowledgeable and told us fascinating stories about the history and culture of the area. He also stopped at Rosslyn Chapel, Rosedale, a charming village where we toured the ruins of Rosedale Abbey, the England/Scotland border, and had a lovely lunch where we took pictures of the beautiful scenery. At our main interest, Hadrian's Wall, Alan gave us ample time to look at the ruins of Housested Roman Fort and Museum. We were able to walk on the actual wall dating back to 122 AD! What an amazing day trip.  Murray was our guide for the four-day Sterling, Isle of Skye and Highland tour that covered some of the most stunning and iconic places in Scotland. He was very friendly and entertaining, and shared his extensive knowledge of Scotland’s history, culture, mythology, and languages. He also pointed out the locations and stopped at some sights where famous movies and TV shows were filmed in the Highlands, such as Harry Potter, and Outlander. He always knew where photo ops were and was willing to stop for them even when the parking situation could be difficult. He customized our itinerary to suit our preferences and kept us on schedule. We appreciated his attention to details whether it is to keep the van immaculately clean each day, understanding of each of our interests, or stopping often for our comfort. He also selected delicious eateries for our lunch and arranged our accommodation and dinner at local hotels and restaurants. In three weeks in Ireland and Scotland for us, this was the best experience of all.  We highly recommend Scottish Guided Tours to anyone who wants to experience the best of Scotland. Alan and Murray were excellent guides who went above and beyond to make our trip enjoyable and comfortable. Thank you for a fantastic adventure!

4 Couple Hidden Gem Trip - From the very beginning we were extremely well taken care of.... Niall took care of us pre-trip with great recommendations for food and stay (multiple options) and Andrew showed us around the Highlands. Andrew's local knowledge took us to remote places that most visitors will never see... Andrew's rendition of "Oh, Jean" was priceless as was his story of the Giant Threm. The Isle of Skye is a nature wonderland... We enjoyed riding on the last Turntable Ferry to Glenelg and seeing all of the seals getting ready to hunt for fish. We took an additional day trip to St Andrews as well with Andrew and that was a very memorable experience as the DP tour was playing there. On the way back, out came the Whisky Chest for a last toast to a great trip! I felt like we experienced several hidden gems each day. Thanks to Niall and Andrew for making lasting memories. My only regret is we did not see the Loch Ness Monster... next time!

The very best way to experience Scotland! - We were so blown away and completely overjoyed with the four day tour lead by Eddie! There were two couples from the USA that started our European excursion in Inverness before heading to Edinburgh and onto Paris and the Normandy region of France. We got a giant Scottish history lesson while also exploring the Isle of Skye with stops to castles, waterfalls, monuments, museums, ferry rides, churches, a distillery tour, the most stunningly beautiful scenery, delicious food and drinks while getting to share many laughs and great conversations throughout our time together with Eddie as our expert guide. 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, too. Eddie made the start of our vacation truly magical. We are so grateful and immensely appreciative. Thank you!

Touring with professionals— - 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. Only regret was not having him with us for our entire trip. Thank you Eddie and Scotland Guided Tours.

Just an incredible experience - It is difficult to to do justice to an absolutely incredible and indescribable experience with Niall, who took our family on a two day Isle of Skye tour. Those two days were definitely the best part of our week long trip, and most certainly the best experience that any of us have had on any vacation. Not only did we learn about Scotland through the most interesting and entertaining stories, we got to go on incredible hikes and see parts of Scotland we would not have otherwise seen. Niall was very attentive to individual needs and made sure at all times that everyone was comfortable and enjoying their time. He was quite cheerful and uplifting, and it was actually sad to say good-bye to a friend we made in Scotland! He is absolutely top notch!!!

St. Andrews, the Scottish Highland and Isle of Skye - Our tour was truly the highlight of our trip to the UK. We spent 4 days with Niall, who showed us not only amazing spots in St. Andrews, the Scottish Highlands and Isle of Skye, but he also made to very personal and special with a few surprises for myself and my kids. When I go back, I will definitely book with them again, only for a longer period of time! It was truly a dream come true.

The best way to experience Scotland. - Scotland is a beautiful place, with deep history and legend. Niall gave us the best experience. We saw a lot of Skye, heard a lot history and legend (ask Niall about walking out of a fairy circle...backwards). A fun, safe, entertaining, yet, educational time for our entire family.

Top private tour in Scotland - This was our first time having a private guide/driver for the entirety of a trip and it proved to be fantastic. Eddie was our guide for our 5 day Scottish Highlands and Isle of Skye Tour and I couldn’t recommend the experience highly enough. From the moment that he took us on board at Inverness, Eddie made us feel immediately taken care of. He was very knowledgeable about the history and the culture of the wonderful places that we visited and he had some sensational tips for restaurants and distilleries! Nothing was ever too much bother and he managed to fit in everything that we wanted to see. The fact that he was driving and managing timing and distances, made the holiday completely stress-free and thoroughly enjoyable. Liaising with Niall in the lead up to the trip was easy – he helped shape the trip so that we got the most out of our five days. Our experience in Scotland was just incredible and I would like to sincerely thank Eddie and Niall for playing a huge role in that.
