Who is a private tour for?
Passionate Travellers

Friends & Family
A private tour gives you and your friends the space and freedom to do what you want to do in the way you want to do it. No waiting around for other travellers, on this tour, you're the leader.
Work Days Out
Be more creative with your team-building days out. Forget the pubs and paintball and tour famous castles or visit the beautiful Scottish islands instead. The possibilities on a bespoke trip are endless.

FAQs
Why would I want to create my own tour?
Our scheduled trips leave on set dates and are available to anyone. Whereas a private tour is exclusive for you and your chosen group. It’s perfect if you’re wanting to go when we have fewer tours running throughout autumn and winter.
Where can I go?
You can go anywhere in the UK, Ireland, and Europe. If you need inspiration, look through our other tours around Europe, the UK, and Ireland, add the ones you like to your ‘favourites’, and imagine how you could join them up. From visiting the birthplace of William Shakespeare on a tour of England to clinking glasses together in a traditional pub when exploring Ireland, the possibilities are endless on a bespoke trip.
What's the accommodation like?
You can stay in castles, country houses, budget hotels, B&Bs... anywhere you like. Imagine waking up in one of the best Scottish castles and living out your royal dream or maybe a cosy log fire cabin in the snow capped mountains of Switzerland is more of your vibe? We’re friends with a lot of the local travel accommodation providers, so we’re happy to help you find the most memorable places to stay.
