More Than Route Planning…
Give us your ideas, and we’ll start the conversation. We’ll draft a route with options, then work with you to refine it into a detailed plan.
Your itinerary can include everything from where to eat, stay, shop, and explore, to realistic timings for self-drive tours or public transport.
From where to eat, stay, and explore to realistic travel timings and insider tips, we handle the details so you don’t have to. Along the way, we’ll share our own photos and personal reviews of the places you’re curious about, suggest reading or packing lists that will enhance your experience, and help you make confident decisions without the stress of endless research.
By the end, you’ll have a complete, thoughtful plan that lets you enjoy Scotland to the fullest.

How It Works
Step 1: Tell Me About Your Trip
Our first step is to secure your booking - you’ll receive a payment link to confirm your service. Once payment is received, we’ll ask you to complete this short planning questionnaire. This helps us understand your travel dates, preferred pace, interests and key priorities, ensuring your itinerary is thoughtfully personalised from the very beginning.
Step 2: Your Route Outline & Toolkit
Within five working days, you’ll receive a high-level daily route outline and interactive maps to help you visualise how your trip flows. At this stage, you can request adjustments. We refine the structure together to ensure the route feels balanced, realistic, and right for you.
You’ll also receive access to our Scotland Planning Portal, with car rental advice and our list of carefully curated hotels and stays.
Step 3: Your Detailed Scotland Itinerary
Once the route is agreed, I develop your fully detailed daily plan. This includes a step-by-step itinerary alongside suggested timings, activity and experience recommendations, practical notes and logistics, and contact details and booking guidance.
The final itinerary is shared as an editable Word document and/or via a private online portal, so you can easily access and use it throughout your trip.
Good to know:
Turnaround Time
You can expect the high-level route outline within 5 working days. The full, detailed itinerary is typically delivered within 2 weeks. Timelines may vary slightly depending on trip complexity, season and your date of travel.
Investment
£150 base fee and £20 per day of travel planned (or request a custom quote for more complex itineraries). A typical investment is £270/$330.
Upgrade

About Your Planners
Local expertise
We’re Lesley and Trev, Scotland itinerary planners with decades of first-hand experience travelling our wee country. Lesley has planned hundreds of trips and lived in Scotland all her life, based in Edinburgh and the Highlands. While Trev has spent years guiding travellers across the Highlands and Skye as a tour guide and qualified Mountain Leader.
Personal advice
Between us, we’ve road-tripped, hiked, toured, driven, and holidayed all over Scotland. That means your itinerary is built on genuine local knowledge - we’ve driven the roads, visited the castles, sampled the distilleries, and stayed in the places we suggest. Unlike faceless tour operators, our advice is personal, practical, and rooted in experience.
Tailored trips
We also understand how overwhelming planning a Scotland trip can feel. There’s so much to see, so many routes to consider, and limited time to get it right!
Our role is to simplify the process, make booking easy, and design a journey that creates a lifetime of memories. And we take the time to understand how you like to travel and shape each itinerary personally for you.
