Private Tours of Scotland

We’re already so confident that our tour portfolio covers the best of Scotland, that we use all of our existing itineraries as the basis for our private tours – all of which can be found on our Coach Tours page.

We use this tour template approach in order to make it easier for our guests to understand what is possible within the time they are in the country. However, that’s not to say we are not able to create a bespoke itinerary for you and your party should you have a clear idea of where you would like to go.

After you submit your initial enquiry below, you will be assigned a personal tour coordinator who will be happy to discuss some bespoke amendments to your route that are not possible on our public tours. In the past, we have replaced whisky distilleries tours with gin or beer, included visits to ancestors’ resting places and changed our routes to allow for additional activities. If you want to book something extra, we’ll certainly give guidance on whether it would be possible to incorporate it into your tour.

Our private tour coordinators go above and beyond in terms of the quality and personality they put into every single one of their excursions. Your tour will be conducted on a sparkling clean, air-conditioned Hairy Coo vehicle which will be kept to a brilliant standard throughout the duration of your tour. Your driver-guide will be one of our most experienced tour guides, whom we trust will keep you smiling from start to finish.

We are not able to offer an ‘all-inclusive’ private tour experience, meaning the price given to you will be for your tour and driver-guides services only. Food, accommodation and optional activity expenses such as castle entry fees, ferries and distillery tours are not included in your tour price. Should you wish to add any of these to your itinerary, you will need to arrange payment directly with the supplier. We will always be more than happy to offer advice in regard to additions you would like to make to your tour to make planning as easy as possible.

Our private tours are available throughout the year. However, availability in peak Summer months (June-August) is limited and so 2 months notice is advised to avoid disappointment for your desired dates.

The minimum notice required for any private tour is at least 2 weeks  – anything within that time limit may not be possible, especially in Summer.

Whether it be personal, corporate or educational, all of our private tours are individually priced depending on the needs of the group.

We are not able to offer a price for private excursions until we have an understanding of what vehicle(s) are needed, the duration of the tour and when in the year it will take place.

Time permitting, we are always happy to discuss a deposit scheme, along with incremental payments in the lead up to your trip.
