Overview

This private tour that allows you to diverge from the suggestions based on what you want to get from the day. Spend the day with a local guide allows you to see the Highlands in style at a slow pace that allows you to visit castles, take walks in the fresh to get stunning views, follow in the footsteps of Rob Roy, eat in great local places, or even visit a whisky distillery if you like. As this is a private tour we can tweak it to suit your needs no problem. Please note that when you ask to customise, we can do it in the area this tour takes place in. Asking to go to places hundreds of miles from these locations is not possible and will require you booking a tour to suit that. You will be picked up/dropped off at your hotel/BNB and you will tour in an air conditioned Mercedes van or possibly a Landrover for couples.

Itinerary

  • Stirling Castle

    We will stop for the best view of the castle where you can learn all about it's more interesting history. If you like, we can arrange for you to go inside and you can skip something else.

    30 minutes

  • Callander Visitor Information Cantre

    Stop to wander through the streets of quaint town on the the "entrance to the Highlands."

    Take a stroll by an extremely pretty loch with the Highland hills rising by it's sides.

    30 minutes

  • Falls of Dochart

    Time permitting we can visit the picturesque Falls of Dochart in Killin. The falls are wide rather than high, but set around gorgeous rock formations and an ancient bridge worh views over to Ben Lawers, the 10th highest mountain in the UK. Nearby there is an excellent smokehouse if anyone wants to try some very local smoked salmon.

    30 minutes

  • Deanston Distillery & Visitor Centre

    If you like the idea of a distillery tour or whisky tasting, let us know and we can suggest times and experiences to book. Please note this is not included in the tour cost as not everyone wants to do this.

    1 hour

  • Rob Roy's Grave

    Visit the grave of one of Scotland's most infamous heroes...or was he a villain?

It was such an amazing...

Published on Mar, 2025

It was such an amazing day. I was traveling with my 21 year old twins and Will was our guide. Will make sure we saw everything we wanted and some hidden spots that were amazing. He was funny, kind and everyone really enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommend this tour

The only decision is what, where and when....

Published on Feb, 2025

If you are looking to make the most of your time in Edinburgh and spend time in the Highlands, Iconic Tours should be first on your list. The only decision will be to reach out and book early. As their reviews and reputation suggest, they will be the top choice for others as well. We were fortunate to spend a day and a half with Will, starting with a walking tour of old and new town with the following day dedicated to venturing out to the Central Highlands. Beyond his knowledge of the area, history, and architecture - it was Will's personable nature and love of both whisky and chocolate that was the perfect fit for our small crew. While the purpose of our visit was Six National Rugby, Will and Iconic Tours was the unexpected highlight of the trip.

Amazing Highlands tour

Published on Sep, 2024

We did the all day Central Highlands driving tour with Will and it was amazing. Best activity of our 2 week vacation in the UK! Will is a wealth of information on all things Scottish and is very humorous too. He’s also an expert on Scotch whisky! Things we saw - The Kelpies (amazing horse sculptures), Sterling Castle (exterior only; information Will provided on the history of Sterling Castle was great), Highland Cows! (adorable - we felt like children feeding them), lunch at a small restaurant with excellent fish and chips, stone circle, lochs, pub stop, chocolate shop (so delicious). I highly recommend the Iconic Highlands driving tour! 5+++ rating
