Overview
The definitive private grand tour of Scotland, opening and closing in its two great cities and filling the week between with the Highlands, the Kingdom of Fife, and the castles and lochs of Argyll. Specially curated for families, multigenerational travellers, and small groups of up to eight guests, this itinerary is our most complete week away.
Instead of navigating coach timetables or packing into crowded tour buses, travel in the spacious, air-conditioned comfort of a modern executive minibus with your own dedicated driver-guide. Across seven thoughtfully paced days, you will explore Edinburgh's Old Town on foot, stand on the shores of Loch Ness, cross beneath the arches of the Glenfinnan Viaduct, wander St Andrews and Loch Leven, discover the castles of Argyll, meet the Kelpies at Falkirk, and finish with a day of royal palaces and film locations in West Lothian and Fife.
Because this is a private charter, the experience adapts around your group. Enjoy door-to-door Edinburgh hotel pickups each day, linger longer at viewpoints that capture your heart, take breaks when little feet need to rest, and discover the very best of Scotland on your own terms.
