We did a customized Highlands Tour on Sept 11, 2025. Worked with Will who was incredibly helpful and accommodating our various requests. We were on a family trip (lowest age 48 to eldest at 90yo!) and our driver, Adrian, was able to show us the coolest sights despite my Mom's mobility issues. Pick up and drop-off very convenient as was right at the Hotel. Lovely scenic drive through quaint towns and villages. Highlights included Loch Lubnaig, Dochart Falls plus a lovely lunch at the Inn and Smokehouse (get the salmon tasting plate!). Wrapped up at the Forth Bridge (which inspired us to take the Maid of the Forth tour to Incholm Abbey on a separate day). Adrian was highly knowledgeable about Scottish history, architecture, literature, arts etc and we had a cracking time learning about it all. We couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you!

Dear Jen,
Many thanks for taking the time to write a review for your private dricing tour of the Scottish Highlands with us.
We are a small team at Iconic Tours and all of our guides are very passionate about Scotland and we are glad that comes through on all our tours.
Everyone who tours with Adrian has a wonderful time, not only does he have an amazing knowledge of all things Scotland, he is truly a gentleman and pleasure to spend time with.
When you got in touch it was no problem to customze the tour to suit your needs. As long as people want to go places in the general area a tour has been booked for we are always happy to change things up to suit.
Have a great day and we hope you can tour with us again.

Our driver, Jim, was amazing. We are a family of 5 and really did not have a specific agenda. Just to see the beautiful highlands and whatever else Jim thought would be good for us and he did not disappoint. On our way out we stopped in a small town for some coffee, pastries and hairy coo’s! Then on to the highlands. Mountains, waterfalls, rivers, railroads, castles, we saw it all and Jim was a constant plethora of information! We traveled down some single lane roads you could never go down on a big tour bus, we found and stopped at the exact location pictures from James Bond Skyfall were taken and recreated the photos, minus the Aston Martin.
If you want to get off the beaten path and see things you could never do on a tour bus or just want to customize your adventure, this is the tour for you.
I will also add you will do it in comfort. The vehicle was a small Mercedes van and quite comfortable for 9 hours on the road!
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Dear Christopher S,
We are so happy you had such a great time on tour with Jim. He knows how to get people away from the crowds and down the roads less travelled and always ensures people have the best experience possible in Scotland.
We hope you can come tour with us again one day.

Our tour guide was Scott. He was one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. He was on-time, very thoughtful, a gentleman, scholar, and very funny. He was a fantastic ambassador for Scotland and helped make this tour memorable. We fell in love with the countryside and love Scotland’s rich history. We’ll definitely visit this area again.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Dear Andrew O,

We look forward to meeting you again for another tour.
Many thanks,
Will

We were on a UK tour for my 40th birthday, and Edinburgh was our second stop after Belfast, and after that we headed to London. We booked the private Glencoe tour on my actual birthday-- It was hands down the highlight of our whole trip! We saw so much in one day from the castle where Outlander and Monty Python were filmed, to highland cows, the grave of Rob Roy and small waterfall near the church and graveyard, Glencoe bogs and majestic mountains, my partner got to be Daniel Craig for a moment recreating the Glencoe scene in Skyfall, we had lunch at a local pub, we even saw standing stones that were over four THOUSAND years old. Scott was a fantastic tour guide the whole way- sharing loads of information about the country, history, people, and more. He was witty, fun, checked in with what we needed (food, bathroom, etc.) and how we were doing, and made our trip even more special than we thought possible. He changed things up when the rain came pouring (we visited in April), and kept us seeing amazing things the whole day. We were even able to try a little whisky to celebrate my birthday. Thank you SO MUCH for making our trip so memorable and special. We feel lucky to have been able to spend the day with Scott, and to celebrate my birthday this way.

Dear Jillian,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for your tour with Scott.
Come rain or shine (often rain, it is Scotland after all), Scott looks after people so well and we knew you would have a great time with him for your birthday.
We hope you can come tour with us again.

Scott, our guide was such a deft driver and wonderful story teller. He let us go at our own pace and took us to some of the loveliest spots. We highly recommend Scott. He’s very entertaining and friendly.

Our day trip to Glencoe was the best ever! Will was the perfect guide for our family party of four; great communication before the trip, very comfortable vehicle, and best of all - great stories during the long drive! Will quickly got a feel for what we were wanting to experience and made stops based on what we preferred - including so many unbelievable views a bit off the beaten path, a great lunch spot, a surprise toast near the Skyfall bridge, and of course the hairy coos! I would highly recommend this tour, and hope to make it back to experience more of Scotland with Will!
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Dear Carol G,
Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. It was a real pleasure to meet you all and I was more than happy to make the day suit you all and go off on some tangents.
I hope you can come back and we can visit more places.
Kind regards,
Will
