Welcome!
A family-run company, built on experience
I'm Mauricio da Rocha, founder of Just Scotland Tours. I've lived in Scotland for over 20 years, and for more than nine I have guided travellers through its Highlands, castles and historic cities.
Just Scotland Tours began as a family business with a clear purpose: to offer private, tailor-made experiences, with the discretion and attention to detail that a special journey deserves.
What you can expect
Personal attention from your first message to your last day, exclusive itineraries built around you, and a team of trained, experienced guides and chauffeurs, selected personally by me. A standard recognised four times with Tripadvisor's Travellers' Choice award.
It would be an honour to show you Scotland.
Private Tours, Created for You
Every one of our tours is exclusive to you and your group. We don't sell fixed packages: each itinerary begins with a conversation, and takes into account the length of your trip, who is travelling, their ages, mobility and interests.
Every tour is run by our own team of trained, experienced local guides and chauffeurs, who know every corner of this fascinating country.
Total flexibility • Stops at your pace • More time where it matters • Comfort and privacy
Every itinerary is unique, designed to deliver an experience, not a rush.
We show you Scotland at its best!
Experiences beyond Edinburgh
For those who want to explore Scotland beyond the capital, we create private itineraries from 1 to 10 days, shaped around your pace and your interests. We welcome couples, families (with children or older travellers) and small groups. No rigid timetables: every journey is designed from a conversation with you.
Find the right tour for you
City tours & surroundings (1 day): Edinburgh, Glasgow and St Andrews, plus the castles and villages around them. Pick-up from your hotel.
Highlands & Isle of Skye (2 to 10 days): Loch Ness, Glencoe and Scotland’s most famous landscapes, on an itinerary planned around you.
Whisky, castles & Harry Potter: themed experiences, led by people who know every story, including the Whisky Trail and Scotland’s most iconic castles.
Outlander Tours (from 4 hours to 2 days): the filming locations of the series, with guides who know each one.
Not sure which to choose? We'll design the right itinerary for you.
Tell us how many days you have and what you love most: we'll take care of the rest. 100% private: we never mix groups.
Why we only run private tours
Since we began, we have chosen to run private tours only: just you and your group, no strangers, no rigid timings and no standard routes.
We believe Scotland deserves to be experienced slowly, with all the attention it deserves. When you share a vehicle with other groups, it's easy to miss much of its beauty, and to find yourself distracted by other people's needs instead of enjoying your own journey.
What this means for your trip
✓ Your trip, at your pace. Stops, timings and the rhythm of the day are planned for you alone.
✓ An itinerary built around you. We adapt the route and activities to your interests, ages and the time you have.
✓ Your guide's full attention. Deeper stories, and time for every question.
✓ A trained, experienced team. Every tour is run by our own team of trained, experienced local guides and chauffeurs.
✓ More comfort, more calm. Comfortable, modern vehicles, ideal even on longer journeys.
✓ Real flexibility. We adapt the day to the weather, avoid the busiest times and add stops group tours can't.
Ideal for
Couples, families (including children and older travellers), small groups, and anyone who values comfort, flexibility and exclusivity.
