  As history nerds there is no better way to see the sights of interest to us than with a historian! Cheryl quickly understood our goals and built two fabulous day trips providing fascinating history and answering all our questions encompassing all things Scotland. Pick up and drop off from our accommodation was a huge perk, the van was roomy, clean and comfortable and the whole day was at our pace. Thank you for the fabulous memories !

  My family loved this experience with Ben and Cheryl. They were both extremely knowledgeable. We really appreciated the itinerary suggestions to accommodate our variety of ages and mobility levels, and we immensely enjoyed the flexibility to abruptly change plans if we wanted. Would highly recommend!

  We were pleasantly surprised to learn that our private guide, Cheryl, was a high school history teacher. Her knowledge of Scotland added immensley to our experience. Our first stop at a 600 acre farm with hairy coos and sheep was the highlight of our Scottish adventure. A stop at the birthplace home of Andrew Carnegie was another special treat. The Abbey of Dunfermline was an interesting place accented by Cheryl's informative history lesson. We then headed to St. Andrews, to view the Old Course and visit the Pro Shop. A short drive into town for lunch and a walking tour did not disappoint. The University chapel was worth a look and the Patrick Hamilton burning site gave me the shivers. Our trip back to Edinburgh was enhanced by a stop in a couple of quaint coastal towns and time for a cold pint at a local pub. The entire day was superbly narrated by Chery with interesting facts, comnents and history. Her van was immaculate and her driving was excellent. A 5 star experience!

  We highly recommend Cheryl Sheil of Bespoke Caledonia Experience for all of your Scotland touring adventures. Cheryl is extremely knowledgeable and will entertain you with stories of Scottish lore and culture. Cheryl is a native Scot who, after raising two beautiful sons, went back to school and earned a history degree and taught history, government and related subjects in Scottish schools. She went on to pursue advanced studies in medieval Scottish history. In addition, Cheryl is a skilled driver which is crucial along the highways and byways of the country. As “bespoke” indicates, Cheryl will tailor and custom fashion your tour to meet your needs and satisfaction. Let Cheryl do the trip planning and driving for you…you will be so glad that you did! We certainly were! Thanks so much, Cheryl, for two wonderful days of adventure!

  It's always lovely when a tour guide can fit herself seamlessly into a group, gently moving you from place to place without ever making you feel rushed or herded. Cheryl was not only delightful to be with, she had a rich knowledge of Scottish history to contextualize and add depth to what we were seeing. Her storytelling kept us entertained between stops as we explored the abbeys and small towns of the Scottish borderlands. I was particularly impressed with the way she engaged the staff at various sites, having them add their knowledge to her own. It's easy to think "I'll just rent a car and plan my own excursion" but we could not have replicated the incredibly easeful, fun, and educational day we had traveling with Cheryl. Highly recommend!

• Incredible Highlands tour!

  I had the pleasure of doing this tour departing from Inverness and absolutely loved it. The day was perfectly paced and covered some incredible spots, starting with the Clava Stones, then on to the brilliant Cawdor Castle and the stunning Dunrobin Castle. Visiting Culloden Battlefield was also incredibly insightful and moving, and finishing with a lovely picnic in Avoch was the perfect way to end the day. Cheryl was incredibly knowledgeable about Scottish history, as well as genuinely lovely and friendly. She’s also super flexible and really shapes the tour around your interests and preferences. As a history fanatic myself, having a historian as our guide was a dream come true. I learned so much and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Scotland, especially if you love history and want a deeper, more personalised experience.
