Luxury Scotland Tours

We used Luxury Scotland Tours to plan a 8 day scotch whisky tour to celebrate my brother’s birthday. Michelle and Helen from Luxury Scotland Tours planned an amazing itinerary for us. They made great recommendations for us to experience very diverse distillery experiences. All hotel and restaurant recommendations were above our expectations. Our drivers, Billy and Stewart, was the best, they helped us by rearranging our agenda to give us flexibility to do what we wanted. Big shout out to Billy, he was amazing! The itinerary included distilleries across all of Scotland as well as wonderful sights and attractions. The whole trip exceeded our expectations, thanks Luxury Scotland Tours.

Luxury Scotland Tours was amazing for our Scotland Adventure. From the moment we connected with them to plan the trip and then from when David, our driver picked us up from the airport to our departure more than a week later, every detail was perfect. From hikes and adventures to golfing at St. Andrews and all the inns we stayed in along the way everything was perfect. We recommend this group to plan your Scotland tour.

We wanted to visit Scotland in 2020. Covid. 2021 Covid. 2022 Covid. 2022 was not travel restrictions, but my wife got Covid. Year one and year two Luxury Scotland Tours made it easy by just shifting all our reservations out a year. In 2022 we had to file a travel insurance claim and LST made that as easy as possible by providing all the documentation required to get reimbursed from the insurance company, who, like Voldemort, shall not be named as they were a pain to deal with.We finally made it in October of 2023. We arrived to the worst rainfall in 30 years and our route to Crinan from Edinburgh was blocked, so we never got there. We retreated to Glasgow for the night. The next day we just tried to get back on track and we did that.Our guide/driver Neil was amazingly calm throughout, and that kept us calm. He was even calm 30 minutes into the first day of our trip when we were rear-ended in traffic. If this had been a self-driving trip I would have lost my composure. Between the accident and the flooding I'm not sure I would have finished the trip if I had been self-driving. It was great to have someone else handle the adversity of the flooding and the minor car accident.Our first several days were spent traveling. The last two days were in Edinburgh with a local photographer. His knowledge of Edinburgh and the surrounding area was extensive and he put me in the right place at the right time over and over again to capture some great photos.All in all we saw a LOT of Scotland. I highly recommend this trip to anybody that wants to see Scotland. Ours was awesome.

We had an amazing whisky tour experience, thanks to Luxury Scotland tours. It was a custom planned 5 days, super busy schedule that included 2-3 distillery tours and tastings every day. Michelle was incredibly helpful planning the entire tour advising every step of the way as to what's doable vs not. Florence was also great with the tour purchases and travel consultancy. They were also extremely instrumental to come up with alternatives when something wouldn't fit into our schedule due to timings. The transportation vehicle was true luxury with the safest driver ever (I am not exaggerating). He was there for us every step of the trip. The hotels were also very smartly recommended within our budget. Truly an exceptional experience. I would highly recommend them.

This was the best vacation my husband and I have ever taken. Our guide/driver, George, was a very informative and friendly man. He gave us great information about the areas and the distilleries. Always allowed us plenty of time to enjoy the scenery, shopping, places to stop and get a bite along the way. Was promptly on time everyday at 9 am to start the day.Everyday was so well planned. We saw so much of the Scottish countryside and the accommodations were definitely 5 star. The restaurants were exceptional. Just can’t say enough good about this trip.

We went to Scotland to celebrate my daughter’s graduation from high school. We decided we wanted to use a guide and started our research and found Luxury Scotland Tours on google. From start to finish this company was top notch! Helen our operations manager to Scott our driver/guide, everything went exactly as they said and our results were better than expected. My daughter now wants to move to Scotland and that speaks volumes of how well it went!! I highly suggest this company if you are wanting the trip of a lifetime and memories to go along with it!!! Thank you Scott and Helen!!! You guys will forever be apart of our memories!

Kalin and I both are still processing our amazing LST holiday, but we're already certain it was the best trip ever.We want to make special mention of Neil. He simply is the best. Equal parts host, tour guide, driver, bodyguard, and historian ... he was calm, patient, good natured, knowledgeable, thoughtful, dependable, and in every way the perfect traveling companion. We can't imagine ever having explored my ancestral home without him showing the way.We were (of course) so pleased with the comfortable and elegant accommodations that LST arranged for us! Crossbasket Castle, the Cromlix House, and the Glencoe House ... all three were first rate and offered a truly unique experience, each in their own delightful way. We enjoyed them immensely.You know it says a lot when two top notch hotels (Edinburgh's Waldorf Astoria and the Cameron House) are not mentioned as the highlight of the accommodations. Don't get me wrong, we enjoyed them both -- they're outstanding properties -- and they were perfect for what they each offered us at their particular juncture in our holiday.Side note: we never anticipated having such a great time with the Falconry experience at the Cameron House! Graeme and his hawk, Dram, were big fun. Ask about the Squirrel Hunt! (Joking.)Among the countless ways LST went above and beyond for us was how we somehow managed to always have lunch and dinner reservations at the best window table looking out over yet another jaw-dropping view (a meticulously manicured garden, a scenic harbour, a Highland Loch ...). They also found a way to slip in a visit to Dunkeld Cathedral (a special place near and dear to my heart) after a last minute request -- totally my fault, but they made it happen!We are big fans of this wonderful company, all the valuable services they provide, and their especially talented staff. It would have taken us countless hours to plan and implement this holiday -- and we'd still never have pulled it together nearly as well as they did.Finally, it MUST be mentioned: not having to drive ourselves around on the left side of all those narrow, unfamiliar roads? Priceless.Special shout out to Ophelie for making it all happen!Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Truly a Luxurious trip through Scotland with LST. We had a week family trip and covered a lot of ground. Our initial wish list of areas we wanted to see was quite extensive. LST was able to identify an incredible Itinerary. We spent time On Isle of Skye, time in Oban and time at Loch Lomond at the Cameron house. We hiked up to the Storr, went to Kilt Rock, Neist Point Lighthouse, Talisker Distillery, walked through Portree, Took Ferry to Mallaig Ferry, Glenfinnan Viaduct, did 4x4 adventures, fishing on Loch Lomond, and did a seaplane excursions.I stumbled upon LSTours in my search to create an incredible family experience. From my initial conversation with Straun to finalizing our details managing our trip with Ophelie our trip could not have been better. We had a driver, Ally, for the whole trip, who quickly seem to become part of the family. As a party of 5 with 3 adult children Ally was able to patiently welcome all the family banter on our drives to each new spot.We had a hiccup with our travel into Scotland which altered our arrival city which could have majorly impacted our whole trip. Ophelie and Ally our driver were remarkable in accommodating our change in itinerary where it felt as if we had intended to start in Glasgow opposed to Inverness. They made what could have been a very stressful travel experience feel as if it was all planned.I highly recommend working with Luxury Scotland Tours. It was a bucket list trip to travel to Scotland and LST was able to make it a trip of a lifetime.

A trip of a lifetime! Starting with our booking, our experience with Luxury Scotland Tours was well beyond a 5 star customer service! Annie set up an amazingly comprehensive tour package for a very special 5 day Scotland tour that has been in the planning stage for many years. Nowadays it’s rare that a travel company includes every single thing one request, but not only all experiences we wanted to do were included, but all the additional recommendations by the Luxury Scotland Tours team were outstanding!Working with Florence on the tour planning was an absolute pleasure, and thanks to her outstanding coordination efforts and hard work, we had the most magical Scottish tour we could have ever dreamed of! From the printed itinerary waiting for us when we met our driver, up to the reservation details, rooms selected, and even the small details such as welcoming snacks or tables reserved for dinner, Florence made our tailored travel experience very unique.All experiences were tailored to our taste, including fine dinning and absolutely stunning lodging properties, the ones you keep talking about to your friends, family, and acquaintances for years to come. Nevertheless, the most outstanding highlight during travel was our driver Scott. He was magnificent and very knowledgable, meeting all our requests, driving us safely and on time to all our destinations, even through the severe weather we experienced while on Isle of Skye. Thanks to him we got to experience more of the Highlands and Isle of Skye than we could have ever imagined, all while talking about history, Scottish tradition, and many more delightful topics.This was a very special trip for us, and the Luxury Scotland Tours team simply went above and beyond, making us fall in love with Scotland. We will definitely we counting on them for our next visit to the UK! Absolutely recommendable!!

Florence and the team at Luxury Scotland Tours helped us plan a custom 10-day trip through the Highlands, ending in Edinburgh. We had a wonderful driver, Gary, who was fabulous as a driver and a guide, and we were booked into beautiful hotels and restaurants. I would contact them again in a heartbeat to schedule another trip.
