We are a family of 5 with 3 boys, aged 10-14, who were looking to get a taste of the highlands. Brian was great walking us through our options and ultimately recommending a great trip over 36 hours with an overnight stop in Oban. Our guide, Ross, was awesome. He was very flexible with our schedule and let us explore at our pace, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. He was great with the boys and led them to many great places to skip rocks and run around. We hit many beautiful, well known places as well as many off the beaten path. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed our time with Ross!

Learn a little bit about the man behind the kilt: Brian Collie has worked in the travel and tourism industry since 1986, where he started as a holiday representative working with tourists in Spain, the Canary Islands and Turkey He then worked as a Flight Attendant in Upper Class with Virgin Atlantic Airways, meeting many interesting and famous people along the way. Brian was also a flight attendant for the Emir of Qatar on his private jets for four years, and owned a small hotel in the Trossachs area of Scotland. 

Brian’s philosophy is simple, Customer service is king, treat everyone as an individual and as important as each other. In my eyes, there is no difference between the ruler of a country and a hard working couple looking for a relaxing break.”

Brian now tailors private tours of Scotland to suit your individual needs with an in-depth knowledge of this great country. We are launching Small Group Tours of Scotland from 2025 as well. “ We believe that there is a gap in the market for quality small group tours in spacious luxury customised vehicles”. 

Your customised private tour of Scotland benefits from Brian’s years of experience in the travel and customer service industries. Brian started with the idea of offering personal, bespoke tours for discerning clients, and it soon became apparent to him that there was a lot of demand for this service. He managed to gather some of the best tour guides in Scotland to join him, and Personal Tours of Scotland was born.

What are the pre-requisites for a top quality tour guide? Personality, approachability, great customer service skills with the ability to think on their feet and of course, local knowledge. It’s pointless having a guide who knows every academic fact but can’t tell you the words of the “Jeely Piece” song!

Our operational base is Edinburgh, but the guides are from all over Scotland so we can pick up and drop off from anywhere in the country. Our vehicles are varied from luxury 4×4 SUV’s to 8 seater VIP Mercedes Sprinters. Let us embark on an adventure that you will never forget, from 1-day to 21-day experiences.

Our private tours of Scotland and small group tours offer a range of experiences to meet various requirements. Whether you want to tour St. Andrews, the home of golf, visit historical Stirling, see movie locations, or look for your Clan ancestry in the Scottish Highlands, we can help you.

Want to see the famous sights as well as the hidden gems that most tourists never get to see? Then don’t hesitate to get in touch with Personal Tours of Scotland, our family-run company.
