Bespoke Highland Private Tour of a Lifetime! - Lawrence Maclean with Highlander Private Tours saved the day when another company cancelled our booking a few weeks before our trip. Turns out it was even better as Lawrence was able to create a bespoke trip tailored to our desires. Lawrence was FANTASTIC! He is local with a wealth of knowledge about the area, Scottish history & culture, we learned so much. We will definitely be using Highlander Private Tours again and can’t recommend them highly enough!

Disappointed with driver - Slow driving. Didn’t tell us that taking a bit extra time will end up skipping most other itineraries. Demanded extra money. Skipped most itinerary.
