Amazing tour of Scotland

5.00Excellent tour! Very informative guide, who kept me informed the whole day exactly what was happening, how long it would take to get there and how long we would stay. Tour went ahead even though I was the only one who applied (up to 17 Pax possible). Absolutely stunning scenery all the way, not just at the Loch. Highly recommend.

5.00Johnny was so lovely! Incredibly knowledgeable of Scotland’s history and the region. He gave us plenty of time to explore Fort Augustus which was really great. My sister and I asked him where we could find Highland cows to pet and feed. He was kind enough to take us to a farm where we could see a cow and her babies. It was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend this tour!!
A great day out

5.00We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Billy was an absolute gem — he took incredible care of our family of 12 and made sure we saw everything on our list during our Glasgow stay. His warmth, knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm made the whole experience truly special. Highly recommend. Thanks team!
Memorable tour through Scottish Highlands

5.00We booked a 5 day tour with Discover Scotland for our family group of 12. This was a private tour that we booked a year in advance, for a special family occasion. Laura and the team in the office were amazing, ensured the tour covered everything that we wanted to do and see and very responsive to all our questions. Our tour guide Billy was fantastic and absolutely made the tour. We were able to be flexible day to day with what we did and how long we stayed at each location. Cannot recommend Discover Scotland or Billy highly enough. I want to book and do it all again! Thanks to Billy and the team.

5.00We spent an incredible week on tour with Discover Scotland and it was an absolute blast from start to finish - breathtaking scenery, fantastic stops every step of the way! But honestly, our guide Billy is what made this trip truly unforgettable. He was unbelievably knowledgeable, hilarious, and brought every stop to life with brilliant stories and the best true Scottish banter you could ask for. He turned a great tour into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you’re planning to visit Scotland, there is only one way to do it - book with Discover Scotland, and if you’re lucky enough to get Billy as your guide, you’re in for an absolute treat
Bonnie Scotland with Billy!

5.00Our family booked directly with Laura at Discover Scotland. She was amazing over a number of months helping us plan a very special trip through the Highlands. Then we met Billy our driver - he was incredible! Amazing knowledge, sense of humour and was very obliging and flexible along the way. Would absolutely recommend Discover Scotland! Unforgettable experience!
