Private Guided Itineraries

On Jura

Tailor-made private guided walking / hiking itineraries can be arranged for up to 16 people.
These can be for a single day, a weekend or for any longer period of up to two weeks.
They can be drawn up for anywhere in Scotland: Highlands & Islands, Shetland, Dumfries & Galloway, The Borders, Orkney and Shetland Islands.
We will take you to places you would not have found on your own and our guide will make Scotland come alive to you.

Itineraries can be themed to meet your special interest for example Whisky and walking on Islay and Jura, walking in the footsteps of your ancestors, history, wildlife, geology. You can also choose from one of our regular itineraries and select dates that are more suitable for your party.

We have English, German and French speaking guides for private groups.

We provide:

• Your guide with a wide knowledge of Scottish landscape, geology, history and wildlife. We place a lot of store on being considerate and helpful as well as knowledgeable - if we can possibly do it, we will. References from past clients are available if desired.
• A complete itinerary drawn up in close consultation with yourself. This can include non-walking visits to places of interest including Glasgow, Edinburgh or Stirling. The itinerary will be flexible to take account of weather variations and your own fitness and interests.
• Transport from an agreed rendezvous on day 1 to the agreed place where your tour is to end and as required between times.
• A booking service for your accommodation which can be of whatever type you specify - unless unavailable in the remoter areas. We will also book restaurants, arrange packed lunches, etc. as required.
