Heart of Scotland Tours - small group bus tours in Scotland

SMALL GROUP SCOTLAND TOURS OF AROUND 12 PASSENGERS

Since 2001 our passion and enduring mission has been our 5-star reviewed, small group Scotland tours.  Visit iconic landmarks and some lesser-known gems accompanied by one of our knowledgeable and professional driver/guides.  Travelling in a small group of around 12 passengers means:

  • A more personalised tour experience – delivered by one of our legendary, 5-star reviewed driver/guides
  • More time off the Wee Red Bus and extra photo stops
  • Getting off the beaten track and away from the crowds
  • Smaller vehicles and group – a more authentic experience with less impact on the environment
  • Simple cancellation/rebooking policy – change or cancel up to 24 hours before departure (day tours) and up to 8 days before departure (overnight tours)

Whether it’s a private tour with family and friends or one of our ever-popular bus tours, we’re here to help. Our 2026 and 2027 small group Scotland tours are available to book.
