Personal Tours of Scotland runs guided day tours and small-group multi-day tours based in Edinburgh. The company offers a range of itineraries that highlight Scotland’s landscapes, history and culture. Tours travel in luxury minibuses with expert guides who provide local context, flexible pickup options, and attention to visitor interests.
Day tours include visits to Rosslyn Chapel, Melrose Abbey, Stirling Castle, Doune Castle, the Kingdom of Fife, St. Andrews, Alnwick Castle, Lindisfarne (when accessible at low tide), and cinematic locations featured in the Outlander series. Typical day tours run about nine hours and combine historical sites, coastal villages, and scenic drives.
Multi-day, small-group tours depart from Edinburgh and explore longer routes such as seven- and ten-day itineraries to the Isle of Skye, Eilean Donan Castle, the Wild West, and other Highlands highlights. These multi-day trips include local experiences such as Loch Ness boat rides, whisky tasting sessions, and a private boat trip to the Small Isles on selected departures.
Personal Tours of Scotland emphasizes curated experiences: historic sites, literary and filming locations, coastal fishing villages, and guided whisky tastings. Meals and activities are arranged as described on each itinerary, with opportunities to sample local cuisine. Group sizes are kept small for a more personal experience. Pickup, drop-off, and schedule details are provided at booking. Travelers can choose from focused day excursions or longer small-group tours to match interests and travel plans.
