A custom tour gives you the chance to custom build your own personalized independent tours or short breaks in Scotland, England, Wales, and Ireland. If visiting Edinburgh why not also explore St. Andrews, visit a distillery in Perthshire or get a feel for the Scottish Highlands? Dally a while off the main routes and take in some local folklore. Tours can give you an overview of the country, or a particular area or topic.

Small group and private customized tours have included St. Andrews (golf, castle, cathedral, beaches, eateries, shops and all) and the enchanting villages of the East Neuk of Fife with their varied fishing harbours, crow-step gabled houses, pottery and art studios, the strategically important Stirling Castle and eerie Castle Campbell and distilleries such as Edradour, Bunnahabhainn and Bruichladdich. Tours have included the Peak District, the Lake District, the Cotswolds, Kent, East Anglia, Cumbria, Northumberland and York, as well as throughout Ireland.

These tours can be enhanced with off-the-beaten track visits including a Gardens Tour, organic farms and shops (e.g. the ‘Pillars of Hercules’), early church sites and open air Christian places of worship, boat trips, low and high level walks, roped cliff walks, tours underground into tunnels and souterrains, blackhouse villages, trip to see Pictish stones, Iron Age brochs, tours of Fairy Pools and Fairie Glens, visits to places connected to literary, artistic and musical figures.

This is our opportunity to craft your Heritage Tour, History and Folklore Tour, Walking Tour, Arts & Crafts Tour, Shopping Tour, City Tour, Adventure Tour or Outdoors Tour to your requirements. We can also arrange cultural tours, including tours incorporating Celtic Connections, Edinburgh Festival, Island and Highland festivals, family events, the Enchanted Wood in Highland Perthshire and experiences specific to an area at a particular time of year.

We recommend vegetarian/vegan/dietary options during your stay, if required.
