Amazing private tour
What an amazing day! My wife and I had booked a tour of Ireland and Scotland but got COVID while there and missed most of it! Once we were negative and recovered, I found Rowan and Andy and immediately booked a private tour to make up for what we missed. It exceeded all expectations. Rowan picked us up at our hotel and whisked us off on a one day adventure we will remember forever! Doune castle was one of the first stops and I was so psyched to learn that it was where one of my favorite comedies was filmed! Monty Pythons Holy Grail! Not to mention that it has other history…We then took a quick stop at a wonderful small whisky distillery and had some samples and spent too much on single malt to bring back home. We then saw such beautiful landscapes, lochs, fed a “Heeland Coo”, had a delightful meal at a small restaurant then proceeded up to Glencoe where my mind was scrambled by the beauty of the Southwestern Scottish Highlands. This was an amazing experience and Rowan is a consummate professional who was accommodating, genuine, warm,funny, and had great conversational skills. You would be foolish to turn away from booking this! Incidentally, we spoke to the people from our original bus tour that went through the highlands while we were recovering and they didn’t get even a touch of the experience we did.

One of the highlights of our Scotland trip! 5 stars across the board
Sep 2022 • Couples
I wish I could give Andy and Rowan higher than five stars. Andy was our guide and we had the absolute best time with him. It felt like spending the day with an old friend and we were all sad to part ways at the end of the day. Andy went the extra mile (or kilometer) to make every single part of our day tour above and beyond special. We saw some of our favorite Outlander filming locations, had the best fish and chips along the way, spent some breathtaking moments with the Three Sisters (the beautiful mountains in Glencoe) and got to feed our new friend Honey the Highland Coo. Andy also spend some time showing us his favorite spots in Edinburgh so we would know how to best use our time the remainder of the trip. We shared lots of laughs throughout the day and learned about Scottish culture and history along the way. We are already looking forward to our next visit to Scotland, and Andy and Rowan will assuredly be a part of that itinerary too.

Great time around the Highlands with Andy
Sep 2022 • Couples
Andy was lovely! My partner and I had such a great time riding with him around the highlands. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw all we wanted and truly made our tour a customized, unique experience. We highly recommend Highland Private tours!!

Best day of the vacation
Simply stunning private trip into the heart of the Scottish Highlands. Andy was a great host with a vast knowledge of everything that Scotland has to offer. Organising a trip in this area isn't easy at all but this tour ticked all the boxes for places we wanted to visit. Having a local answer any of our questions and entertain us along the way was excellent. Also very engaging with our kids which is never easy when travelling. Top tour. Thanks again.

Great Day in the Highlands With Rowan
Aug 2020
Exceptional tour. Our family of four had a great day in the highlands. Rowan was a fantastic guide and made the day even better than we expected. Every stop was wonderful, from Doune Castle to the Three Sisters. We highly recommend this tour, and we doubly recommend Rowan!

Amazing Tour
Jan 2019 • Couples
Rowan and his brother are great hosts and tour guides. Our Airbnb host recommended their tours right off the bat when asked if there was an easy way to check out the sites while we were there. My boyfriend and I were extremely happy with our day with them. Definitely would recommend booking a trip with Highland Private Tours to anyone visiting the area!

Highlight was the Highlands Private Tour
Dec 2019
With a limited time in Scotland and two teenagers in tow, we wanted an intimate and entertaining Highlands experience and that is exactly what we got with Rowan and Highlands Private Tours. The beauty of this tour is not only limited to the indescribable nature you are confronted with. It's also in the friendly and engaging manner in which this tour company shares it with you. There is no droll commentary or cliched pipe music on this day trip to the Highlands! We mentioned what we really wanted to see and were not obliged to see things that we felt were not important to our experience. If it's a bespoke tour of the Scottish Highlands you're after, this is the company for you! Our teenagers also loved it and we all agreed, it was a day we will never forget and for that, we are very grateful to Rowan and the flexibility his tour company offered us. Thank you so much!

Spectacular Day!
First private tour. We couldn't have been any luckier to hook up with Andy Mackie. Weather was perfect & our guide was fantastic to spend the day with! We would use the Mackie brothers again & highly recommend them. Car was clean, super comfortable & perfect itinerary for a full day. The best pace 🚗. Andy we found you on Fear Factor it was a great wrap up to our night 👍😉🙌

Great day out of the city
Sep 2019 • Friends
This was a great diversion out of Edinburgh. Saw beautiful scenery, and the distillery tour and castle tour were really interesting. Rowan was a great guide and gave of great recommendations for things to do when we got back to the city too.
