We specialise in creating private guided tours of Scotland, designed entirely around you and your interests.
Every Bonnie Scotland Tour begins by understanding what inspires your visit. Whether you dream of dramatic Highland landscapes, ancient castles, world-famous whisky distilleries or tracing your Scottish ancestry, we’ll create a private journey tailored just to you.
Travelling with one of our passionate local driver-guides, you’ll experience Scotland at your own pace, with the freedom to stop, explore and discover places larger group tours simply can’t reach.
From the moment Robbie picked us up, the service was exceptional. Robbie was kind, funny and incredibly knowledgeable – he quickly felt like part of the family.
With Noel’s help, designing our tour was comfortable and easy. Donald understood exactly what interested us, and Scotland now has a special place in my heart.
One of the highlights of our entire Scotland trip. An authentic, memorable experience that felt far more personal than a typical sightseeing tour.

Whether you’re planning your dream Scottish adventure, gathering information and inspiration, or simply wish to book a memorable private day tour, we’re here every step of the way, to help and assist you.
We believe there’s no better way to discover Scotland than on a private guided tour.
With your own dedicated local driver-guide, you’ll enjoy complete flexibility to travel at your own pace, explore beyond the tourist trail and experience Scotland in a way that simply isn’t possible on a large group tour.
Spend every day alongside a knowledgeable local guide dedicated entirely to you and your group.
Stop for photographs, linger longer and change plans whenever inspiration strikes.
Every itinerary is tailored around your interests, with complete flexibility throughout your journey.
Relax in a spacious modern touring vehicle with complimentary refreshments on board.
Venture beyond the tourist trail to uncover authentic places most visitors never experience.
No strangers. No coach groups. Just you, your guide and Scotland.
Spend a few days travelling with one of our guides and you’ll quickly discover that this is far more than a guided tour.
Our guides take the time to get to know you. They’ll remember the little things you mentioned on day one, recommend places you never knew existed, stop when the view deserves another photograph and quietly adapt each day as they discover what matters most to you and your group.
It’s the conversation and laughter between destinations, the stories that never make it into the guidebooks, unexpected detours and local recommendations that simply can’t be found on an itinerary or guidebook.
By the end of your tour, it’s not unusual for guests to feel less like they’ve been shown around Scotland by a guide, and more like they’ve explored it with a new friend.
To us, that’s the Bonnie Difference.
If you’re only in Scotland for a short time, our collection of private day tours offer the perfect way to experience some of Scotland’s most iconic destinations.
From the rolling Lowlands to the dramatic peaks of Glencoe, this tour takes you through Scotland’s most storied and spectacular locations – all in a single day.
A truly breath-taking three day experience as you journey through Scotland’s iconic highlands and across the bridge to explore the stunning Isle of Skye.
Step into the world of Outlander and follow in the footsteps of Claire & Jamie, visit the historic locations and romantic landscapes that brought the hit Outlander series to life.
All of our day tours can be booked online via our secure checkout powered by WeTravel.

Anxiety free trip outside of Edinburgh! During our stay in Edinburgh we wanted to visit Stirling and the Kelpies, but we didn't want to rent a car. We also didn't want to feel rushed at any site, which some larger tours make you feel. Bonnie Scotland Tours was the answer! We were able to get to all of the sites we wanted to see without worrying about driving or the schedule. It was absolutely worth the money for the private tour. Our guide, Nathan, was amazing! He was so friendly and patient and knowledgeable about the area and history. It was absolutely one of our favorite days of our vacation!
Exceptional service and experience This was our first tour in Scotland and we had high expectations! From the moment Robbie our driver showed up, to the time he dropped us off he was so exceptional in every phase that our expectations were exceeded!! Robbie actually became an extension of our family! He was kind, funny, knowledgable and he provided exceptional service!! We have already recommended Robbie to friends of ours who are visiting in August!! Robbie made our entire day very memorable!! Thank you Robbie!!!!
Robbie is the absolute goat (GREATEST OF ALL TIME)🐐🐐 I don’t want to make this too long , Robbie was truly incredible. If they don’t basically give him the keys to this company after this tour- this company is doing something wrong. He was great for this whole thing. Very intelligent , smart, funny, just an all around normal guy. If you’re going to go on this tour - book it with him specifically. Sincerely, Christopherson
10 out of 10! Donald was excellent! We had a toddler with us and he was extremely patient! He had so much knowledge about Scotland and really took the time to show us the beauty of it! We had plenty of snacks and even a bit of whiskey! I am grateful we went this direction to see the country. We had no worries and could just enjoy!
Great experience Nethan came prepared with drinks, snacks and some wonderful Scotch to sample. Our tour felt like a party. Lots of laughs, great views, story telling and information. He was bery accommodating to our needs. I wish we had more time with Nathan. Highly recommend.
4- day Private Luxury Tour Skye Our group of six—my husband and I, our children, and their significant others—just returned from Scotland after the most incredible trip with Bonnie Scotland Tours. From our very first video call with Noel, we knew we had made the right choice. He took the time to learn exactly what we wanted to experience and created a perfectly customized four-day tour of the Isle of Skye. Every time I had a question before our trip, Noel or Carol responded quickly and made the entire planning process seamless and stress-free. Our guide, Robbie, was simply outstanding. His knowledge of Scotland's history, culture, and landscapes was incredible, but what truly set him apart was his personality. He was kind, funny, engaging, flexible, and genuinely cared about making our trip unforgettable. He shared stories that brought every place to life and made us feel like we were experiencing Scotland through the eyes of a friend rather than just a tour guide. This was truly the trip of a lifetime for our family, and it would not have been the same without Bonnie Scotland Tours. Thank you, Noel, Carol, and Robbie, for creating memories we'll treasure forever. If you're considering a tour of Scotland, don't hesitate—book with Bonnie Scotland Tours. You won't regret it!

Noel, who took the booking and customized the day outing for us, ended up being our driver and guide. We can't say enough good things about the tour nor about Noel. He ensured we didn't feel rushed, including building in enough time for a lunch stop at a lovely farm restaurant, and made a few wonderful side stops (including for my wife to pet highland cows). His enthusiasm and knowledge of Scottish history were evident and we were both entertained and educated throughout the day. Also, the hamper of Scottish treats in the comfortable van were extra appreciated. Highest recommendation!
Outlander Jacobite Adventure - Sensational Tour & Guide - Highly Recommend! I planned this special trip for my 80 years young mom and family/friends that also wanted to experience Scotland (and were all fans of Outlander). We were a group of 6 women from the ages of 24 through 82. From the beginning, working with Bonnie Scotland tours was a breeze. There is the basic 3-day itinerary but they were more than accommodating and encouraging of anything additional/different that we wanted to do during planning stage as well as on the fly. Robbie was the absolute best guide. His knowledge about Scotland and so much more was outstanding, but his humor and kindness made us all feel like family by the end of the (3) days. It was difficult to say good-bye! If we make it back to Scotland to explore some more, we will definitely book with Bonnie Scotland Tours again. Here are a few basics to know, in case they are helpful to your booking decisions: - Scotland is beyond stunning. We all fell in love with the beautiful country, its history and architecture, and especially the people. - There are plenty of snacks and beverages on the tour/van. My daughter has celiac disease and they had snacks specifically for her. - We would make a game plan the night before for our day tour and then make changes on the go if something was nearby that we wanted to see. - Reviewer "Lisa B" and "Passport 8507" were a part of this trip and provided additional information about our experience.
Best tour of Scotland! My group had a wonderful time exploring Scotland with Robbie. Robbie is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating. He took great care of us, made sure my friend could eat gluten-free on all the stops, and we learned so much on the tour. I will be booking in again with this company.
Great Fun & Beauty—Highly Recommend! Can’t say enough about Bonnie Scotland Tours and our guide, Robbie! We were 6 adventurous gals (aged 20-80) who travelled with Robbie on the 3-day Bonnie Outlander Tour visiting Outlander landmarks, story book villages, gardens, and castle ruins. It was everything we hoped a tour would be, incredible sights, comfortable touring van, plenty of snacks, flexible driver, open to requests (the highland coos!) Robbie kept us informed and entertained throughout, compared Scottish history with the Outlander series, and was polite to a fault! Added bonus— Robbie found the best local coffee shops and pastries each morning. It was unanimous: highly recommend—book this tour group!
Amazing tour for a family including teens and seniors We had a phenomenal tour with Robbie. He adjusted the itinerary to accommodate our group and made sure everyone was happy, entertained, and well-fed! We saw some of the beautiful and amazing sights I've ever seen. Well worth every penny spent!
Best guided tour around Edinburgh My husband and I had an exceptional experience. Graham, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and very accommodating to us. My husband wanted to see the military base his dad was stationed at during WWII. Graham took us out to Leuchars and introduced us to the officer in command that day. They allowed us to take a few pictures and my husband was able to satisfy a long standing dream of his. Graham showed us many other places it’s of Edinburgh. He was very much in tuned with our needs and fulfilled all our hopes of seeing beautiful places and hearing the history and folklore. He even sang to us!! We loved the 5-6 hours we were with him! Thank you for your agency setting all of this up for us. We were beyond pleased!! 
Great trip but extra fabulous guide! Had the greatest trip around the highlands of Scotland with Bonnie Scotland Tours. Our guide, Donald, met us at the hotel in Edinburgh, kilt and all, and got us settled in our comfortable mini-van. Stocked with drinks and snacks we were off on the road for the next 5 days full of wonderous sites. Donald was a fabulous guide. Knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating through out the trip. He was on top of sorting out the various parties wishes. (Outlander stuff, castles, Highland cows, art, shopping) The tour covered abig loop of the highlands with stops at all the great locations to see. We did a train from Ft. Williams to Mallig and then a ferry to Isle of Skye. The were did a loop of Skye. With a final stop in Inverness we ended the tour back in Edinburgh. Can't say enough about how great our guide Donald was for the whole trip.
Amazing Outlander/Scotland Tour Robbie Review We couldn’t be more pleased with your company and the service that you provided us. Robbie, our Guide, was extremely knowledgeable, very accommodating, (especially since he was touring 6 women) and fun. Although Outlander was the main focus of our tour, Robbie’s extensive knowledge of the whole of Scotland was a gift, providing us with possibilities for other adventures as well as a wonderful learning experience. We highly recommend him and Bonnie Scotland tours.
Highlands Tour with Blair My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the Highlands tour with our driver guide, Blair. Among the places we visited were the Wallace Monument in Sterling, the Kelpies, Linlithgow Palace, Loch Lubnaig, Glencoe, and Loch Ness. At Loch Ness, Blair surprised us with a Scottish whiskey toast. The scenery along the way was beautiful. Blair is knowledgeable about history, geography, art, and architecture, which enriched our appreciation of everywhere we visited. We also talked about education, movies and books; our conversations flowed effortlessly. Blair's enthusiasm and pride in his country is contagious. I highly recommend Blair and Bonnie Scotland Tours.
