      Family Visit to Scotland
      Seven of us took a 2-day tour and two 1-day tours with Brian while we were in Scotland. He was a wealth of valuable information, funny and showed us a great time. His knowledge of the history and beauty of Scotland allowed him to plan an incredible outing for us to visit rarely seen and major landmarks. He surprised two of our group with a stop at an “Outlander” film location; they were thrilled! He also suggested several attractions and restaurants to visit in Edinburgh which we took advantage of. Trust us, Brian is truly a fantastic tour guide who goes above and beyond. . If you ever visit Scotland and want to have an adventure that you will never forget, then contact Brian at Wynding Road Tours for the experience of a lifetime. Brian, we all thank you again for the grand time you provided while we were in Scotland. We can’t imagine finding any other tour guide that could out-do the four days we spent with you. Safe journeys.

      Private Custom Great Scottish Tour
      Our family just took two and half week of Scotland trip with Brian from Wynding Road Tours as our driver/guide. Brian is such a wonderful person, engaged and well informed. His incredible service and personal care made our trip very memorable. He went out of his way to make sure everything worked out seamlessly! Through out the trip he had taken us to areas that were not even part of the planned itinerary. He went above and beyond in setting up such an amazing trip and took care of all the details. If we are ever back in England, we would hire his services without hesitation. He is the best and he knows Scotland in and out. We would highly recommend Brian.

      7-Day Private Tour of Scotland
      We wholeheartedly recommend Wynding Road Tours for private tours of Scotland. Brian, our driver and tour guide, took care of our seven-day customised itinerary for us and we travelled in style and comfort in a Mercedes Vito Tourer. We are a retired couple and Brian took our mobility needs into account at every stop we made. A truly personalised tour! Much more important than that though, Brian’s knowledge about Scotland, the best historic places to visit, the best scenic stops for photoshoots and the best local restaurants, was superb. Not only did Brian know the usual tourist information about the places we visited, but he also had “extra” fascinating insights and anecdotes into them. Brian was also extremely good company to be with! Brian’s enthusiasm shone through, and my husband and I learned a lot and had an outstanding trip. The wonderful memory of Brian’s tour will stay with us long after our visit. Thank you.

      So much fun in Scotland
      Brian is amazing. We did a 7 day tour and he recommended hotels that we ended up loving, constructed a fantastic itinerary, was flexible when we changed it a bit, and was informative and entertaining. I highly recommend him and will contact him again when we come back!

      What an amazing way to see the Highlands of Scotland
      We had a 3 day tour leaving early January from Edinburgh. As a family with kids 10 and 13 we were looking forward to seeing Harry Potter and Outlander scenary as well as Scottish history. Brian is a fantastic tour leader and host and was amazing with the kids and great to chat to. We saw all the sites we wanted to see and were very happy with the overall tour. I would highly recommend this!

      Most Amazing Scottihs Highland Tour Ever
      Brian was our tour guide for 4 days of the Scottish Highlands. He was incredible! I reccomend him so highly! Not only is he personable, but he is so knowledgeable about Scotland's history. I knew nothing about Scotland when our daughter and her friends booked this trip. He gave us so much information, I wish I had written it down. In fact, he explained who James was and how he came to write the King James Bible, that is still used today. He overheard us talking about Monty Python and next thing we knew, we were headed to Castle Doune whhere hte movie was filmed. He took pictures of us, took us on winding roads that none of us could have driven, made us laugh and made us reflect. The only thing that I would say is if one is an "on time" sort of individual, then Brian is not for you. We did miss our ferry, but then Brian drove us to more sites. I highly recommend him! There were 7 of us ranging in age from 72-35 and we all thoroughly enjoyed him. And he gave us time to shop!!! I regret I don't have a photo to upload but if you go to Brian's Instangram, there are plenty! He was well worth the money!!!

      Explore the Scottish Highlands at your own pace!
      I can’t recommend Brian and Wynding Road Tours highly enough. We did a two day tour, looping from Edinburgh to an overnight stay in Inverness, then back to Edinburgh. We went to Balmoral, Stirling Castle, Clara Cairns, Culloden, Loch Ness, Glencoe, the Kelpies, Doune Castle (site of my favorite Monty Python film), saw the Wallace monument, had a close friendly encounter with highland hairy coos, and stopped for breaks and shopping whenever a village caught our eye. Brian was knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. I learned a lot of history from his commentary and thoroughly enjoyed the anecdotes he shared with us. I’ve done 6 trips to various countries in Europe and this is the best travel $$$ I’ve ever spent. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

      Fantastic experience for our family!
      We can’t say enough good things about our two trips with Brian! He made it possible for our large family group (ages 1 to 75) to see and experience some of Scotland’s most memorable sites as a family. We have several small children, and Brian was exceptionally patient, kind, flexible, and fun. He even arranged a birthday cake at a distillery for my father in law’s 75th birthday! Brian really felt more like a member of the family than a tour guide, and we can’t recommend him enough. Thanks, Brian!

      Best Day Around Scotland
      If you haven’t settled on a private driver yet, look no further than Brian. He’s definitely your guy! He’s very professional and knowledgeable about all things Scotland. He never made us feel rushed and willingly tailored our day around a variety of interests. You will not be disappointed in booking Brian. Thanks again for an unforgettable day! -The Girl Squad

      Great guide, wonderful sights
      We just returned from an incredible day touring the Scottish Highlands with Wynding Road Tours. Brian was an amazing guide: friendly, knowledgeable and flexible. He had a recommended itinerary but was happy to customize it based on our family’s preferences. He provided a clean and comfortable van, water, and plenty of information about Scotch history and culture. It was the perfect way for our family of five to get outside Edinburgh and explore the Highlands for a day. Highly recommended!

      Private Small Group Scotland Tour
      Expectations from a private tour in Scotland...Safety, Affordability, Flexibility and Exclusivity for a small group. Wynding Road Tours had all these. We're a family of four with two boys in their 20s. Brian made us feel that he was driving his own family. Gave us a good price for booking a three day itinerary. We booked a hotel in Edinburgh and just branched out from there. You can also travel further and Brian can help arrange accommodations along the route. His vehicle was always clean, stocked with water and had USB ports. Once he got to know us he had the flexibility to tailor our tour and added a Whisky tour at Glenkinchie and Glenturret and golf at one of the oldest courses in the world, Musselburgh Old Course with hickory sticks then a trip to St. Andrews where they were preparing for the 150th Open! Whisky, golf and history! He frequently checked the weather to give us a perfect itinerary. That's the advantage of Wynding Road Tours. They can move things around for you quickly since the weather can change fairly quickly as well something other companies cannot do. Private, small, exclusive family tours where you're called by your name unlike private tours of larger companies which could not replicate the Wynding Road Tour itinerary. Let Brian know if you want to see more sites but spend less time at each or less sites but spend more time at each. Went on first week of June 2022 lots of sunlight so we were able to see a lot of sites. He was also able to give advice on train services and other questions you may have. If you are in search of an exclusive and professional yet family and small group oriented tour call Brian from Wynding Road Tours. We gained not only a tour guide but a friend as well!

      Amazing Day in Edinburg from Cruise Dock!
      Brian was there on time and ready to take us for our day tour. He was knowledgeable and professional. His vehicle was clean & supplied water. Our day in Edinburg could not have been more perfect! Brian is reliable, professional, knowledgeable & funny! Highly recommend him. We will definitely hire him again when back in the area.

    We cherished every moment spent with Brian. He served as an exceptional guide and evolved into a cherished friend. For those seeking an extraordinary journey through Scotland, Ireland, or the UK, there is no one more well-informed, delightful, and supportive in trip planning than Brian. His dedication was evident as we navigated with an electric scooter, and his invaluable assistance in transporting it, organizing accessible excursions, and identifying convenient stops made our adventure truly remarkable.

    We had a great time visiting Highlands and Speyside for the first time.
    Brian customized the itinerary that suit our requests and we were lucky to see snow up in the mountain. Thanks to Brian for his thoughtful plan.
    Brian was very knowledgeable, informative, helpful, considerate and pleasant at all times.
    We will remember this trip forever.

    My family had an incredible 2-day private tour with Brian to the Scottish Highlands! I could go on and on but will just say it was a simply great experience for all members of my family in every respect. The communication with Brian to plan the tour was prompt and easy, the vehicle was clean and comfortable, Brian’s driving was very safe, and we saw so much and learned so much over two days. We enjoyed it so much that I’ve already booked a return trip with Brian for September! I highly recommend Brian and Wynding Road Tours!

    This two day tour of the Highlands was the highlight of our trip to Scotland! Brian was the key to making this a wonderful experience! We spent two full days visiting so many amazing places along the way, including stops for lunch and coffee, a whiskey tasting, and lots of photos ( which Brian was eager to take of us!). His knowledge of Scottish history and interesting anecdotes along with his cheerful personality made this tour so enjoyable. I highly recommend Brian and Wynding Road Tours!

    Brian was just amazing. Not only is he knowledgeable about Scotland, he was super friendly and accomodating. He shared a lot of personal stories along the way which made the ride fun. We were a group of 7 with 3 kids. He was very understanding of the needs of our families and even went on to take care of our 6 year old while we went whisky tasting! Brian ensured that we covered as many landmarks as possible within 3 days but also while not making us feel rushed. After the first day, Brian felt like family and the kids were really sad to say goodbye to him on the last day. We would highly recommend Brian and would love to go see him when we are back in the UK.

    We had an excellent tour of the Highlands with Brian and enjoyed both the scenery and Brian's stories. He went above and beyond - arranging a golf day (with clubs!) for us AFTER our tour was over. We would recommend Brian to all our friends who visit Scotland.
