Introduction
|
ScotLadd Tours (Davy Ladd) offers bespoke driver guided tours anywhere in mainland Scotland including the Western and Northern Isles. Extensions to England, Ireland and Wales can also be incorporated with either a start or finish in Scotland. Specialising in privately guided tours for small groups we explore our magnificent landscape and fascinating cities in ScotLadd’s own fully insured, modern, spacious and comfortable 8 seater minivan. Davy Ladd will work with you to help develop an itinerary that is well paced and packed with those sights, sounds, tastes and experiences that match you interests. Tours can incorporate any of your special interests whether they are walking, natural history, ancestry, castles, food and of course Malt whisky appreciation, to name just a few. Just say what you want to include. ScotLadd can also offer help, advice and guidance on accommodation, dining recommendations, site visits and costs. With pride ScotLadd can recommend many of the unique experiences ‘off the beaten track’ often overlooked by scheduled tours and semi-professional unqualified drivers ‘acting as guides’ doing the usual ‘milk run’ tours. |
