Why You Should Book Your Private Tour Early


Planning a trip to Scotland? If you’re thinking about booking a private tour, driver-guide or hiking experience, one of the best things you can do is book early.


At Up ’n About Scotland, we offer private, tailor-made tours and outdoor experiences across Scotland. Whether you want to explore the Highlands, discover Scotland’s history, enjoy some spectacular scenery or get out into the mountains, we can help create a trip around what you want to see and do.


Book early and secure your price


One of the biggest advantages of booking your tour early is price certainty.


When you book with us, you can secure the price we have quoted rather than waiting until closer to your travel dates, when availability and pricing can change.


We also work hard to keep our tours competitively priced. A private tour doesn't have to mean paying the sort of prices often associated with luxury chauffeur companies.


You get your own private vehicle and driver-guide, a more personal experience and the flexibility to spend your time seeing the places that interest you most.


Get the dates you want


Scotland is becoming increasingly popular, particularly during the spring and summer months. Popular dates can fill up well in advance, especially for private tours.


Booking early gives you a much better chance of getting the dates, number of days and itinerary you want rather than having to fit your plans around whatever availability is left.


It also gives us more time to work with you on your itinerary and make suggestions based on your interests.


Your trip, your pace


One of the biggest advantages of booking a private tour is that you're not tied to a rigid coach-tour itinerary.


We can build your day around the things you actually want to see and do.


Perhaps you want to visit Loch Lomond, Glencoe and the Highlands, explore historic castles and villages, discover locations connected with Scottish history and film, or simply spend time enjoying Scotland's spectacular scenery.


Maybe you'd like to include a scenic walk or a proper hike along the way.


We can help plan the route while keeping things flexible. Sometimes the best part of a Scottish road trip is stopping somewhere you weren't expecting because the view is too good to drive past!


More than just sightseeing


At Up ’n About Scotland, we also love getting people outdoors.


If walking and hiking are part of your plans, we can incorporate suitable walks into your itinerary, from shorter scenic walks to more challenging mountain days.


As a qualified Mountain Leader, John can also offer guided hiking experiences for those who want to explore Scotland on foot.


The important thing is that the trip is built around you, your interests and your pace.
