WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Forth Rail Bridge: UNESCO World Heritage Site and Scottish icon that is recognised the world over as the most famous of cantilever designs.
2.
The Kelpies: The largest equine sculptures in the world. Standing at 100ft tall and weighing more than 300 tonnes each, the magical Kelpies are a man-made wonder and a feat of engineering. The works of art, created by artist Andy Scott, have become iconic on the landscape after being modelled on real-life icons of times gone by — Clydesdale horses Duke and Baron. The Kelpies represent the lineage of the heavy horse of Scottish industry and economy, pulling the wagons, ploughs, barges and coalships that shaped the geographical layout of Falkirk. The Kelpies’ name reflects the mythological transforming beasts that possess the strength and endurance of 100 horses.
3.
The William Wallace Monument, a towering tribute to Scottish valour, commands attention as we drive through Stirling. Its majestic silhouette against the backdrop evokes a sense of historical reverence.
4.
Stirling Castle: One of Scotland's most iconic landmarks. Perched high on a hill, this castle offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside and a glimpse into Scotland's rich history. Learn about the famous battles that took place here and the heroes who fought for their country's freedom.
5.
Doune Castle's enchanting allure, a blend of medieval splendor and rugged landscape, has not only captured history but also the spotlight in film and TV. Its iconic presence starred in productions like "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" "Outlander" and "Game of Thrones," weaving tales of fantasy and reality amidst its ancient stones.
6.
Meet some Hairy Coos: a chance to meet some of Scotland's beloved highland cows. This is an opportunity to get some hot food before meeting Scotland's beloved highland Cows. You can not only pet but even feed these friendly creatures. This is a unique opportunity to interact with these iconic animals that are known for their long, shaggy hair and charming personalities.
7.
The Trossachs: After a delightful time spent with the cows, we will continue our journey through the Trossachs, Scotland's first National Park. This stunning region offers some of the most picturesque landscapes in Scotland, with lochs, mountains, and forests. Along the way, our expert guide will share insights into the local history and culture, making the journey even more meaningful.
8.
Glencoe: A beautiful valley steeped in history and surrounded by towering mountains. Here, you can take a stroll through the stunning glen and witness some of the most breath-taking views in Scotland.

Noel was our tour guide and was very knowledgeable. He was able to find a common interest among each of his guests. I was able to fulfill my long-time desire to see a Highland cow. It lightened the mood and made everyone enjoy the moment. I learned about the history of the crown. Noel was very accommodating to our needs, whether we wanted to stay somewhere longer, visit something out of the route, or find a delicious place to feast. If I could go back when I have my old family, I would definitely do this again.

We are a family of who were traveling to Scotland for the first time, so we booked 2 private tours with this company ( Bonnie Scotland Tours ). It is the best decision we have ever made!!! Our guide Nathan was super friendly and very knowledgeable. He arrived on time both days in a luxury van well stocked with snacks and beverages. The daily (customized) tours lasted 12 hours each while he took us to the Highlands, St Andrews, several Castles including Balmoral and Loch Ness to name a few. He made an extra effort to take us feed the Hairy Coos ( cows ). Every one in our family really enjoyed both days.. So.. don’t hesitate! Book this tour!!

Five stars is not enough for this company and our wonderful guide Nathan. It was so nice to be picked up right at our residence and Nathan brought two booster seats for my kids (5 and a very small 8) so they were able to see out the windows. The vehicle was spacious and clean and Nathan had brought a picnic basket full of tasty snacks which was a huge hit with the kids. It was freezing cold and this wonderful man still stopped and took every picture we asked and hiked all through the Highlands with us. Nathan was a wealth of knowledge and we learned so much Scottish history throughout our day together. My husband and I are huge Harry Potter fans and we were able to see Dumbledore's final resting place, the location of Hagrid's Hut and the Forbidden Forest, and we were right on time to watch the Hogwarts Express cross the viaduct. We opted for more Harry Potter locations rather than Loch Ness at Nathan's suggestion and it was absolutely perfect. We stopped at a nice little restaurant for lunch which was delicious and just overall could not be more pleased with our experience. We were planning to go to dinner after our tour and Nathan kindly dropped us off at the restaurant when we were all finished. I cannot recommend this company enough, I believe any tour you choose with them will be spectacular!

We had an absolutely amazing time on our tour. Our guide was accommodating and friendly. They went above and beyond to show us everything we wanted to see and experience. I feel like I saw so much of the area in one day and gained a wealth of knowledge about Scottish history. I was on this tour with my two daughters (21 &19) and my 81-year-old mother. This was truly such a memorable trip that none of us wanted to leave. I highly recommend this tour to anyone traveling to the area. We can't wait to go back.

Noel was a fantastic guide. Our 12+ hour Highlands tour was more than we could have hoped for. Noel was highly knowledgeable, flexible and, most importantly, a great guy who was easy to talk with.
We are looking forward to our next trip to Edinburgh and will definitely use Noel and Bonnie Scotland Tours.

We had a great day exploring the Highlands. Graham was our guide and gave us suggestions on customizing our day. We wanted to explore some off the beat locations and he didn't dissappoint. He was very knowledgeable and even provided a whiskey tasting!

This was, by far, the best tour I've ever been on in my life. Noel planned the best itinerary for our 2 day tour and executed it flawlessly. His knowledge of history was the best added bonus. Noel also stocked up on some amazing snacks and drinks along the journey that made it even more special for my husband and I. I wish there were an option to add more stars because 5 isn't enough. Noel, thank you so much for this experience and it was so nice getting to know you for a few days!! We can't wait to come back and tour with you again!
