Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was our third time using Discreet for tours of Scotland. I can't give them enough stars. They were amazing helping us plan the trip. The driver (Jeff our favorite!!) was always early to pick us up, and went out of his way to fit in as many activites as he could each day. His knowledge of the History of the country is amazing. It was an absolute joy once again. You literally can't find a better company to do a tour with!!!

I highly recommend Discreet Scotland! My husband and I recently completed the 7-day Tour from Discreet Scotland in early August. It was a spectacular tour in every way. While we were invited to customize our tour, the tour itinerary suited us nicely. We especially enjoyed our tour guide, Jeff Fry. Besides being incredibly knowledgeable of Scotland’s history, culture, and landscapes, Mr. Fry was an absolute delight, courteous, and refreshingly humorous. A true Scotsman (there’s a story there)! This trip is by far a favorite for a few good reasons. While Scotland, it’s land, people, and history, certainly offers a delightful experience for sojourners, the personalize tour allowed us to see and experience considerably more locations, historical sites, communities, and landscapes in a more in-depth way than we ever could have accomplished through our own planning or riding in a coach. Prior to the tour, the planning process was straightforward and smooth. We corresponded with Margaret who promptly assisted us with a few questions we had. If anyone is interested in experiencing the richness of Scotland in the most engaging and extraordinary way, look no further than Discreet Scotland. Thank you, Jeff, for helping to make our trip to Scotland so memorable – tapadh leat!

We took two tours during our trip to Scotland. One to Glencoe with James and one to St. Andrews and the fishing villages tour with Jim. Both tours were absolutely fantastic and we would highly recommend. James and Jim were amazing guides and were very friendly and knowledgeable. We had so much fun so thank you both again for an amazing time!

We had a lovely day with our tour guide, Damian, doing the St.Andrews & East Neuk of Fife day tour. We had toured with Discreet Scotland in 2019 and were confident we would have a good experience again, and we were RIGHT! Damian was personable and knowledgeable and made the day perfect for us.

We selected Discreet Tours of Scotland after reading the reviews. Matthew did an awesome job for our day trip and threw in some side trips as he learned about our interest. Besides the beauty of driving through the Highlands, we discovered there was a WWII camp for Italians and Germans POWs and did a side tour. Highly recommend this tour and wished we could have planned a multi day adventure which they specialize in. Even for our day tour Matthew customized things.

We went on the 3 day tour with Damian as our guide. We had an incredible time and by the end of the trip, Damian felt like family. He made it feel like we were being shown around by a friend rather than a tour guide. We will absolutely book a longer trip the next time we are in Scotland!

Can’t recommend this private 3 day tour of the Highlands enough. Our guide, Andrew, picked us up on time in a lovely Range Rover and our adventure began. Andrew was knowledgeable, fun and we felt so blessed that we were in his care for three days. He made history come alive, showed us places that we would have never found by ourselves (or in a tour bus) and was never boring or intrusive. The three day itinerary is perfect and the hotel recommendations very good. We never had to battle crowds, had help with our luggage at every stop each night and really enjoyed his company, the scenery and the whole experience. So glad I found this company online. Exactly as described and what we wanted.

From my first contact with this company to plan a trip to the Scottish Highlands and Isle of Skye this company was terrific with the planning making suggestions and being patient with the number of travelers we would have. Our driver was terrific and the vehicle new and impeccable. My husband and I were the only travelers as it turned out and we were accommodated anywhere we went brilliantly. Our driver knew all the places on the itinerary and commented on all of the history of places we would visit and made recommendations for meals etc. It was better than perfect. Thank you!!!!!

Touring with a private tour company is definitely the way to go, as evidenced by the fabulous experience we had today touring Balmoral and Glamis castles. Our driver/guide, Damien, was superbly professional, engaging, informative and attentive to our needs and preferences. Simply a delight.

Our family did a private day tour from Edinburgh to Stirling and Doune Castles. Our guide (James) was fantastic — knowledgeable, upbeat, and friendly — and our entire family had a great time. It was probably the best day we had during our 5-day stay in Edinburgh. I liked that the experience was very customizable (key for traveling with two young kids).

I am interested in booking a tour from Edinburgh to the highlands. Are you able to take us to the highlands and give us the day tour, but also drop us off at a hotel in the highlands (instead of taking us back to Edinburgh)?

Hi, Orme. What would you like to know about this attraction?
Do you ever pair - up two parties … four passengers?
Are their any multi party trips in the 4th week of September?
"less is more" rather than the crowded venues
Thank you, Orme

Hello Orme,
Thank you for your question.
Our tours are private, so only yourselves would be travelling. We couldn't possibly ask other guests to share their tour I'm sorry to say. You would effectively create a small coach tour in a car, which we would never allow.
I hope this helps.
Regards, Matthew

Hello!
My husband and I will be in Edinburgh for 3 days and are interested in a 2-day private tour for June 14 and 15th. I see in the reviews most of the tours are 5-7 days, do you do 2-day tours? We’d love to spend one day in Edinburgh. I’m not sure of the proximity but we love “Outlanders” and the history of the Knights Templars, so perhaps incorporating some of those sights on the second day might be nice. But again, we are open to your recommendations. Thank you—Patty

Hello Bruce,
We certainly offer 2 day tours but unfortunately, all our vehicles are fully booked for the dates you require. Rosslyn Chapel would be a great place for you to visit while staying in Edinburgh as it has connections to the Knights Templar.
Please contact us on your next visit to Scotland and hopefully we can be of service.
Regards,
Matthew

Hello Maurice and thank you for your question.
Unfortunately, we are based at the opposite end of the country and would require we send a vehicle the previous day to travel to Skye. We would need to charge for both days travel to and from the island either side of your tour and it would cost considerably less using one of the local guides on the island to assist you.
I hope this helps with your planning.
Thanks, Matthew
