Designer Tours of Scotland

Build your own Designer Tours of Scotland

The best way to experience Scotland is through a tour. Not only will you get to see multiple historical sites, impressive scenery, natural wonders and more, but you can do so with the support and assistance of someone who knows exactly what’s what and where they’re going. There’s no getting lost, no finding something and wondering what it is – a tour is the most comprehensive and uncomplicated way to get to know Scotland.

When it comes to picking a tour, there are plenty of choices. One of which being Designer Tours of Scotland, who offer bespoke Scottish tour packages to best fit you and your group’s needs. These tours are perfect for a group holiday, a family trip, or even a nature-lover’s stag or hen-do.

How it works

Designer Tours have a number of pre-made tours that follow a rough path, or that have a list of sites. You can choose from this list, or you can completely craft a new tour with their help. If you choose a premade tour, you get to choose where the tour starts. From there the company will work with you to determine the total drive time, and which order you’re going to travel in.

You can also choose from the following:

  • Private access to luxury transport
  • Pick up and drop off
  • Fuel and parking charges
  • Personal audio systems
  • Free bottled water
  • A sweet treat
  • Umbrellas
  • A custom map for each guest

The price of the tours depends on how long you intend to travel for, and how many are travelling.

  • Such a beautiful setting

    'Myself and my partner recently stayed in Drummond Lodge (from 21-24 Feb) and we just wanted to say thank you so much for a lovely stay. We loved our lodge, it was like a home from home, and we really didn’t want to leave! It was spotlessly clean and in such a beautiful setting. All the staff we met were really friendly. We also loved Balmaha, what a wonderful village. So thank you very much! We are the couple that took Flynn for a walk and we took this photo of him... we thought you’d appreciate a copy. Thanks once again...
