Fàilte! I’m Alexander (Sandy)
I started Experienced Tours in Edinburgh in 2018 with the ambition to provide authentic, luxury private tours of Scotland and Ireland. Today, we are a dedicated team of passionate local tour guides. We are a multi-award winning team with over 400 5-star reviews.
We provide a true connection to the story of each place we visit, coupled with a unique service for our guests. I’m proud that our combination of understated luxury touring and genuine service has won multiple awards.
My wee team is passionate about every guest that we are trusted to serve. From our half-day orientation tours of Edinburgh through to our multi-day tours across Scotland and Ireland, let us show you why we love what we do. Come and join us!

Unlock the magic of Scotland with our award-winning private tours
Scotland is a country best experienced at your own pace — exploring historic castles, stopping for unexpected viewpoints, and exploring places that large group tours simply can’t reach. With Experienced Tours, our private luxury Scotland tours are designed around you: your interests, your schedule, and your idea of a perfect day.
Whether you’re visiting Scotland for the first time or returning to explore more deeply, we create bespoke day tours and multi-day itineraries that showcase Scotland’s history, landscapes, and culture in comfort and style. No two travellers are the same, and no two of our tours are either, simply tell us what interests you and we’ll design an itinerary around it.
All of our Scotland tours are 100% private, meaning there are no fixed routes or rigid timetables, no large groups or rushed stops, Just you, your party, and an experienced local guide. Private tours allow us to avoid peak crowds at major attractions, adjust timings to suit cruise arrivals or flights and include spontaneous stops for photography, wildlife, or local cafés.
Your guide is more than a driver — they are a storyteller, historian, and local insider, adapting the day in real time based on weather, crowds, and your interests.
Our tours cover the most iconic and beautiful regions of Scotland, as well as lesser-known locations that reward curious travellers. Our aim is simple: to deliver authentic, stress-free Scotland tours that feel personal, unhurried, and memorable.
