About Us

Don't just see. Experience...

A Family-Owned Scottish Tour Company Since 2005

Highland Experience Tours was founded in 2005 with a simple ambition: to share Scotland with authenticity, integrity and local expertise.

As an independent, family-owned Scottish tour company, we have spent over 20 years designing and refining exceptional Scotland tours that showcase both the iconic highlights and the lesser-known corners of our country.

Thoughtfully Designed Scotland Tours

From Highland tours and Isle of Skye adventures to multi-day journeys through the Scottish Highlands and Islands, our itineraries are carefully planned to balance world-famous landmarks with hidden gems.

We believe travel should feel immersive, not rushed — combining dramatic landscapes, rich history and meaningful local experiences into journeys that stay with you long after you return home.

Travel at Every Scale

We offer private tours of Scotland, small group tours of up to 16 passengers, and larger coach tours designed for comfort and efficiency.

No matter the format, every Highland Experience tour is delivered with the same care, professionalism and attention to detail that has defined our company since day one.

Explore Scotland With Confidence

For more than two decades, travellers from around the world have trusted us to deliver expertly run Scotland tours from Edinburgh and beyond.

When you travel with Highland Experience Tours, you are choosing a company rooted in Scotland — committed to sharing it properly.

Award-Winning Experiences

From castle visits and whisky distillery tours to Loch Ness boat trips, scenic Highland walks and island adventures, our Scotland tours are designed to immerse you in the country’s landscapes and culture.

We work closely with leading Scottish visitor attractions and local partners to ensure seamless access and preferential rates, while maintaining flexible itineraries that allow you to experience each destination without feeling rushed.

Committed to Responsible Tourism

Sustainability is at the heart of Highland Experience Tours. We actively support initiatives such as Trees for Life, helping restore Scotland’s native Caledonian forests.

Travelling together on a guided Scotland tour reduces environmental impact while supporting local communities across the Highlands and Islands. For us, responsible travel is not an add-on, it is how we do everything.

Expert Guides. Personal Service

Our office team and award-winning guides work together to deliver exceptional Scotland tours from first enquiry to final drop-off.

Recognised at the Scottish Thistle Awards, our guides combine historical expertise, storytelling, humour and local insight to bring every journey to life, whether you’re joining a small group tour from Edinburgh or a private Highlands tour.

Professional, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about Scotland, they are the heart of every Highland Experience.
