“Secret Scotland planned a 9 day custom itinerary for me--and it has been the best thing I've done in my traveling life. I feel like I've had a friend in Scotland tell me what I should do and how to do it. Mike and Aurelia have been prompt with their correspondence, thorough with their information and a joy to work with. If I ever get to make another trip to Scotland--the first thing I would do is contact Secret Scotland!”

“The best tour I have ever been on was the customised tour we pruchased from Secret Scotland! They made the planning of my vacation so easy - all I had to do was book the car, browse through their list of recommend B&Bs and book my accomodations. The driving directions were phenomenal and the scenery was breathtaking! We ended up visiting locations that I would never have thought to visit, had I planned the trip on my own, and can't imagine not visiting now. There were so many recommended sights that we actually extended our trip in order to see even more of them - something I have never done before. An absolutely amazing experience and one that I intend to do again in the near future! The service was superiour and I would recommend this company to anyone really wanting to explore Scotland to it's fullest!”

“My siblings & I were taking my 80 yr. old mother to Stornoway to see where her relatives came from. We are very easy going and wanted a flexible schedule and see the non-tourist areas. We discovered a company called Secret-Scotland and decided to use them. We cannot say enough how wonderful their service was. It was just the personal touch we wanted and they were willing to work with us on what we wanted. I plan on visiting this beautiful country again and would use their service for updates on travel. Thanks to Mike & Aurelia!!”

“The smartest decision we made in preparing our Spring 2008 visit to the Highlands was clicking on the Secret Scotland site. It turned agonizingly difficult touring options into an easy to follow, precisely informed and perfectly indicated road book that even we were able to follow... while driving on the wrong side of the road. We would strongly encourage future visitors to Scotland to save time, money, energy and anxiety by buying an itinerary from Mike and Aurelia at Secret Scotland. If you know what you want to see, they know where it is and how to get there.”

“I just wanted to let you know about the fantastic service we received from Secret Scotland! We came across the Secret Scotland website and decided to purchase their 5 day Scenic Tour around Loch Ness, Plockton etc. We also booked our accommodation through their accompanying guide. What a brilliant purchase it turned out to be! The guide was clear and concise and so accurate that we didn't need either a map or sat nav for the whole journey. They included some wonderful out-of-the-way places that we probably would never have found on our own - beautiful little waterfalls etc! They also included some 'rainy day' activities - more sites/activities than you could possibly have seen, and all carefully researched and thought through. We decided that we'd really like to have a day to go horse riding - but didn't know where. I e-mailed Mike at Secret Scotland and he recommended 2 different riding centres - one just outside Gairloch if we wanted to ride through forests, and one on Skye if we wanted dramatic scenery. We went to Skye and it was great! We stayed in a really lovely B&B in Plockton (An Caladh) and one of the highlights of the trip was definitely Dry Island in Badachro! Ian and his wife were so welcoming - and we went out on Ian's fishing boat one morning and watched him as he pulled up the creels ... it was wonderful and really brought Scotland alive for us! Thanks to Secret Scotland for one of the most memorable and stress free holidays we've ever had!! We'll be going back to Scotland next year to follow another of their guides! ”

“Just to say 10 / 10 for service, friendliness & the tour they prepared for us. A wonderful service - you can either purchase a pre prepared tour or a tour customised to your wants, taking advantage of Mike & Auelias knowlegde & experience. Saves many hours going through guide books & means you can spend your time enjoying the wonderful scenery & know the right place to stop for that necessary cup of tea”

“Hi, I was struggling to work out a self-drive itinerary for our trip to Scotland. I found a few sites who do whole packages (tours with accommodation booked by them) but they seemed to be expensive. I stumbled across the above website and contacted them with my ideas. Mike went out of his way to make sure that I got the itinerary that suited us, including detailed driving instructions, things to see and do as well as a list of recommended accommodation in our stopover towns. The cost was minimal and it only took a couple of days. If only he could control the weather for our trip as well! Would recommend this website to anyone who is travelling to Scotland and does not just want to follow the tourist routes. V. Crompton (Australia)”
