Experience Scotland your way

We have tours to suit a wide variety of interests. See our options for exploring Scotland below.

Road trips in Scotland

Explore independently on a self-drive tour. All trips include your accommodation, a rental car, and almost everything else you need for an amazing Scotland road trip.

With a personalised itinerary and hand-marked route map, you’ll know exactly where you’re driving each day and which attractions you can visit. You’ll also get a detailed travel guide packed with top attractions, not to mention some hidden gems. Plus, when you’re on your trip, support is always available with our 24/7 helpline.

Many self-drive tour packages start from Edinburgh and loop around the Scottish Highlands. You'll stay overnight in places such as St Andrews, Inverness, the Isle of Skye, Fort William and the Loch Lomond area.

With about 10 days or more, you can build on this route with stays in locations such as the Orkney islands, Outer Hebrides, Cairngorms National Park and the “Castle Trail” area of Aberdeenshire.

If you’ve got 2 weeks in Scotland, that’s even better. You’ll be able to see the top attractions at a leisurely pace or discover more beautiful scenery.



Privately guided tours

Choose a privately guided tour and you’ll get to pick your travel companions – whether that’s your favourite travel buddy or a group of friends and family. You’ll get a private vehicle with your very own driver-guide for a personalised experience.

Tell your travel consultant what your interests are, and they’ll try to pair you up with a guide who shares those passions. Whether that’s history, photography, or hiking, we’ll try to make sure your trip suits you.

Relax as your guide drives you to iconic spots around Scotland like Eilean Donan Castle, Glen Coe, Glenfinnan Viaduct and more.



Guided group tours in Scotland

If you don’t fancy driving, consider a guided group tour. This way, you’ll get insight from a local expert while getting to meet some like-minded travellers.

Customise your trip by adding extra nights at the beginning or end of your tour in your arrival or departure city, typically Edinburgh. This means you can explore the city at your leisure or simply rest up for the journey ahead.



Discover Scotland with Nordic Visitor

Regardless of how you’d like to tailor your trip, you’ll have your own dedicated travel consultant to advise you on possible add-ons. They’ll make all local travel arrangements for you, so all you have to do is book your flights and get excited about your adventure.

The reviews speak for themselves. See what Nordic Visitor travellers said about their experience with us.

Sharon, United States
Wonders of Scotland, September 2023

Highly recommend Nordic Visitor

This is our second tour with Nordic Visitor. Agents used before the tour were always very prompt with responses to our questions. During the tour, we found the accommodation perfect, guide very informative and friendly, and the driver got used to where we needed to go without any problems. We would definitely use Nordic Visitor again!

Alan, United States
Highlights of Scotland, May 2023

Smooth experience

Throughout the years we have travelled a lot, but never with a group tour. This trip was our first time and it did not disappoint. The tour guide, the bus driver, our fellow passengers, the weather, accommodation, variety of activities, and how smoothly everything went makes me question why we never toured like this before!

David, United States
Scottish Highlands & Isle of Skye, September 2023

An unforgettable holiday

It was an unforgettable holiday. They took care of everything, and we got to wonder and explore with little hassle. If you want to visit Scotland (or anywhere else Nordic Visitor has tours) they are the way to do it. Already talking about our next adventure with Nordic Visitor.

Carol, United States
Scottish Highlands & Isle of Skye - Private, May 2023

An indescribably fantastic experience!

We are two middle-aged women who had never been to the UK before. My sister-in-law always wanted to go to Scotland, so I started researching and came upon Nordic Visitor through internet searches. I checked for reviews and found the company to be highly recommended. I started corresponding with Kirsten. She was extremely kind, very helpful and was able to put my nervous mind at ease. The package she put together for us was perfect! From my first email, the airport pick up and drop off service, and the tour with Dave, it was an indescribably fantastic experience!

Andrew, United States
Classic Scotland, June 2023

Top notch

The tour package materials were top notch. Spiral bound itinerary, recommended activities, restaurant recommendations and the large-scale road map of Scotland were a nice touch. Magdalena, our Nordic Visitor representative, responded promptly to our questions. Accomodation was all great.

Bethany, United States
Classic Scotland, May 2023

Perfect vacation!

For our 50th wedding anniversary, we trusted Nordic Visitor to make our vacation a memorable one, and they made it beyond special. Chris, our tour planner, did everything to accommodate our needs and answered our questions quickly. It was an absolutely perfect vacation!

Barbara, United States
Best of Edinburgh - Loch Ness & Highlands, June 2023

We were in good hands

As first-time visitors to Edinburgh, and senior citizens, our choice to use Nordic Visitor was an excellent one. The welcome package we received at the hotel was really helpful, with our tour vouchers, maps and restaurant recommendations. We would not have known what hotel to select and the one selected for us was perfect. The choice of tours offered was perfect for a 5-day visit. So glad to learn about the Royal Mile and visit the castle. The trip through the Highlands and Loch Ness was beautiful. Our travel agent, Rebecca, always quickly responded to email questions prior to departure. Thank you! Nordic Visitor made our trip easy and rewarding. We were in good hands.

Noreen, United States
Complete Scotland & Ireland, April 2023

Highly professional service

Nordic Visitor is a highly professional tour company. From beginning to end, we have no complaints. Our travel consultant, Chris, was very quick to answer all our questions from start to finish. Could not be more pleased.
