Private tours are often worth it, but Andy took the experience up a notch. He was personable and knowledgeable about the area and homeland he loves. We were able to experience sites off the beaten path because of Andy’s extensive experience as a regular back country hiker and mountain climber. Because it was a private tour, we could opt to make changes based on weather and personal interest. Another added bonus is how much we laughed hearing and telling stories.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and detailed review. Although this tour was with Andy rather than me (Jimmy), reading reviews like yours makes me incredibly proud. Andy is my most trusted guide and only steps in when I manage to take the occasional day off. He's genuinely one of those people who has an incredible passion for Scotland, and his knowledge of the Highlands, history, walking routes, and hidden gems is second to none. It's fantastic to hear that came across so clearly during your day together. I'm especially pleased that you enjoyed getting off the beaten path. That's exactly the kind of experience we always want our guests to have, and Andy's love of hiking and exploring means he knows places that many visitors never get to see. The fact that you were able to tailor the day around the weather and your interests is exactly what private touring is all about. And I'm delighted to hear there were plenty of laughs along the way too—that's just as important as the scenery! The only slight problem is that Andy is also bald... so we regularly get mistaken for each other. We like to think we're Scotland's two most handsome bald tour guides, but we'll let our guests be the judges of that! Thank you again for your incredibly kind words. They mean a great deal to both of us, and I'll make sure Andy sees your review. We'd love to welcome you back to Scotland again someday. All the best from your wee pals in Scotland Andy & JImmy.
Jimmy is knowledgeable and fun to be around. At the end of the tour, we felt like we had made a friend. He was also professional. Impecable communication, personal service, and punctuality. His relationships with security and car park attendants made our trip go smoothly. It’s obvious he enjoys his job and his enthusiasm is infectious. Request Scottish Jimmy as your driver!
Och, Jennifer, this has fair made my day! Thank you so much. Honestly, by the end of a day oot on the road past Glencoe and the castles, it never feels like work — it feels like showin' pals around the place I love. And aye, it pays to keep the security folk and car park attendants sweet… a wee blether and a smile gets you a long way in Scotland! You were a pure joy to have along, and I'm chuffed you felt like you'd made a friend, because you have. Safe travels, and if you're ever back this way you know who tae ask for. From your wee pal in Scotland, Jimmy 🏴
Our driver Jimmy the King was outstanding, very informative,had us laughing the entire trip, very friendly king. When ever we stopped he always pointed out the points of interest. We already saw some sites so he made some interesting additions to our tour which was great. I would highly recommend this tour with Jimmy the King.
Ha! "Jimmy the King" — I'll be needin' a bigger crown for the next tour, Thomas! Thank you kindly, that's a smashing review. If I had you laughin' the whole way roond then my job's done, because a good day oot is half the scenery and half the carry-on. Since you'd already seen a few of the sights, I'm dead pleased the wee extra stops and stories hit the mark — that's the fun of it, no two tours the same. It was a brilliant day with cracking company, and I'd have you back on the bus any time. Lang may yer lum reek! From your wee pal in Scotland, Jimmy.
Our original tour guide, Jimmy, had a family emergency. Even going through that he arranged for another tour guide, Andy, and contacted me to alert me to the situation. Incredible service during a stressful time for him that was greatly appreciated. We had an absolutely fabulous and memorable experience for our final day in Scotland. Definitely worth it!
Thank you so much for your kind words — it really means a lot, especially given the circumstances that day. I’m genuinely glad everything still ran smoothly and that you had such a great final day in Scotland. Andy’s a top guy — honestly, he’s basically my twin, so it’s like you had my double with you… just twice as bald, so you got extra value there! Really appreciate you taking the time to leave the review, and I’m delighted the tour lived up to it. Wishing you all the best and hopefully see you back in Scotland again someday! From your wee pal in Scotland, Jimmy.
I wish I could give Jimmy more than five stars—this was truly one of the best experiences of our trip. The day was long, but so incredibly worth it. We booked the tour last minute the night before, and Jimmy still drove all the way to Edinburgh to pick us up at our hotel with almost no notice. From start to finish, everything was seamless. We were able to see so much, yet never felt rushed and had plenty of time to explore at each stop. The drive itself flew by because Jimmy shared so much fascinating history about Scotland and was more than happy to answer every question we had about Scottish culture and the places we visited. His knowledge and storytelling made the entire experience even more special. What really set Jimmy apart was how much he went above and beyond for us. We mentioned we’d be renting a car the next day, and he took the time to teach us the rules of the road and give us incredibly helpful driving tips. He also made sure we were comfortable all day—stopping for bathrooms whenever needed, taking us to a great pub, and even surprising us with snacks, drinks, and a whiskey tasting while we explored The Three Sisters. Jimmy took such great care of us, and it honestly felt like we were traveling with a friend. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly, highly recommend!
Hey guys! Wow, that’s some review — you’ve made my day reading that! Delighted you had such a brilliant time, especially for a last-minute booking — turned out a cracking day for it. Glad all the stories, stops (and the wee whisky 😄) hit the mark. Hopefully the driving tips kept you right on the roads the next day — no drifting onto the wrong side! If you’re ever back in Scotland, give me a shout — plenty more to see and I’ll keep the snacks stocked. Cheers again, really appreciate you taking the time to write this! Your wee pal in Scotland, Jimmy.

Personalized experienced! Our guide Jimmy was personal and truly gave the day a Scottish touch. Would highly recommend him.
Thank you very much, it was a real pleasure meeting you! Delighted you enjoyed the Scottish Highlands and had a great time soaking up Scotland. Hope the whisky-infused cheese went down a treat — it usually does 😄 Really glad you enjoyed the day and the Scottish touch. Safe travels, and you’re always welcome back! From your wee pal in Scotland, Jimmy.
Jimmy is an excellent tour guide. He’s very friendly and knowledgeable about Scottish history. We enjoyed visiting several castles and the Kelpies statues, but the highlight was seeing the majestic beauty of the highlands and the three sisters of Glencoe. Because it was Boxing Day, all the castles were closed, but Jimmy showed us what he could. Jimmy picked us up at 7:30 am and drove us around for 11 hours. He had variety of snacks for us in the car, and he stopped twice for a chance to buy a sandwich or use the toilet. I appreciated that he kept us in a tight schedule, which allowed us to get to the highlands just before sunset. Since it was wintertime, sunset was around 3:45 pm. We got back to Edinburgh around 7:00 pm. It was an excellent day trip, I would recommend this tour to other travelers.
Sorry for the late reply — Boxing Day had me running about like a headless haggis 😅 Thanks so much for the kind words, I really appreciate it. Even with the castles shut, I’m glad we still managed to make a proper day of it and get you up into the Highlands in time to catch Glencoe before sunset — that never gets old, even for me. You were a brilliant bunch to have along, and fair play for surviving a long winter day on Scottish roads. Delighted you enjoyed the tour, the snacks, and the tight schedule — no messing about when daylight’s in short supply! Thanks again for coming along and for the recommendation. You’re welcome back any time — and next time we’ll get you inside a castle too 😉 From your wee pal in Scotland, Jimmy.
Jamie was unable to host the tour, but communication was fab and he hooked us up with Andy who was amazing! Would book again!!!
Hey guys, So sorry I couldn’t join you on your tour this time — maybe next time you’re back this way I’ll get to come along! I’m really happy you had such a great day with Andy — he’s basically my twin! We both love a good laugh and making sure everyone has an amazing day. Plus, with our matching bald heads, you probably wouldn’t have noticed the difference anyway! All the best from your two pals in Scotland, Jimmy & Andy
This was the best tour we took in Scotland! Jimmy made our experience fun throughout the entire day. He provided interesting history and went over and above to make or trip unforgettable. Throughout many travels and many tours Jimmy was the best most entertaining guide we have ever had. The highlands were spectacular as were the other attractions along the way.

Hey guys, That’s brilliant to hear — thank you so much! 😄 I had a blast showing you around, and I’m glad my storytelling didn’t send anyone to sleep! The Highlands never disappoint, and neither did the group — you lot made it a cracking day out. Hope to see you back in Scotland soon for another adventure (I’ll try to come up with a few new jokes by then)! From your wee pal in Scotland, Jimmy.
