Tailor-made Private Guided Itineraries
Isle of Luing, West Highlands of Scotland
Tailor-made private guided walking or hiking itineraries can be arranged for up to 16 people.
These can be for a single day, a weekend or for any longer period of up to two weeks.
They can be drawn up for anywhere in Scotland: Highlands & Islands, Dumfries & Galloway, the Borders, Orkney and Shetland Islands. We will take you to places you would not have found on your own and our guide will make Scotland come alive to you.
Itineraries can be themed to meet your special interest; for example: whisky and walking on Islay and Jura, walking in the footsteps of your ancestors, history, wildlife or geology. You can also choose an itinerary from our holiday programme and select dates that are more suitable for your party.
We have English, German and French speaking guides for private groups.
