See Scotland through the stories that shaped it

A good private tour gives you time to look, listen and follow the stories that interest you. We plan bespoke trips from Langholm for families and small groups, with historical insight throughout and no unrelated guests joining your vehicle.
Choose a day of Border heritage, trace an Armstrong connection or set out on a longer journey through Scotland and the Highlands. We also arrange transfers, station collections and other private-hire travel.

Your interests set the route and pace

You won't have to fit a fixed coach schedule. We shape each itinerary around your dates, available time, preferred pace and sightseeing priorities, then carry your group in a licensed vehicle. Accessible routes can account for mobility needs, and assistance dogs are permitted. Established in 2016, we're associated with ABTA, the Association of Independent Tour Operators, VisitScotland and SSDA.

Tripadvisor

We hired Adam for a two day custom tour of the Borderlands, focusing on our clan. He was a fountain of knowledge for the region. He was flexible as well, taking our itinerary changes in stride, making the necessary adjustments pretty much on the fly. He is witty, entertaining, and can fill the drive with historical anecdotes at every turn. He is well worth hiring. If we had tried to drive around ourselves, we realized we wouldn’t have seen nearly as much; understood what we were seeing (at all); nor covered 1/10th the territory! And he even laughed at MY jokes. Hmm.

More freedom in every day you spend touring

One group at a time

Your vehicle is reserved for your party, with space for up to six guests.

History with real context

We connect the people, events and landscape rather than reciting a list of dates.

Link a tour with a station pickup, airport transfer or private onward journey.
