BUILDING YOUR OWN TOUR
FAQ'S
Why choose to build your own tour for your holiday?
Perhaps you like an itinerary but the dates don’t work for you. No problem! We can run it just for you as a private departure, perhaps customising some elements of it, such as upgraded accommodation. Maybe you are travelling with friends or family and would prefer the intimacy and flexibility of a private trip. Or maybe you just want to tap into our expertise and have us create a truly magical holiday, just for you. We can also deliver outstanding experiences for corporate groups. Simply contact us and we’ll get to work!
Small groups (less than 4 people) share fixed costs (such as guides and transfers) across fewer people so the per person cost tends to be higher with smaller groups. However, smaller groups benefit from a more personal service, so it is still good value for money.
Destinations
Great Scottish Tours operates all across the country, so if there is a particular place you wish to visit, do let us know and we can design your itinerary accordingly.
When should I book?
Call us for some inspiration, or use the fantastic Interactive Holiday Builder on our website to let us know about your dream tour or holiday in Scotland. The earlier you can let us know you are a planning a tailor-made tour the better, this means we are more likely to secure the best hotels on your preferred travel dates.
Booking early also means that we are more likely to have one of our senior guides lead your trip.
Your dedicated trip designer will provide you with an initial overview of what we think your holiday could look like so we can make sure that we are heading along the right lines. Then we’ll work closely with you to finesse the details of your customised trip.
When do I pay?
Once we have agreed on an itinerary, we will price the trip for you and provide a more detailed proposal, if required. Each custom trip is priced completely from scratch as each one is different so this can take a couple of days – bear with us!
With the itinerary, number of travellers and trip price agreed we will take a 25% deposit to confirm your booking.
Once we have received your payment we will go ahead and secure your accommodations and source the best guide to lead your holiday. If having seen the pricing, you want to make a change before confirming the trip, we may ask for an initial deposit of £500. The balance of the deposit would then be taken when the final itinerary and price is agreed.
Then, no later than 4 weeks before you are due to travel, we will send you a final information document with all the information you require. We’ll then follow up with a phone call 2 weeks before you travel to answer any last minute questions. Your dedicated trip designer will, of course, be on hand to help with any queries you may have at any point.
When you arrive to start your holiday everything will be taken care of, leaving you to relax and enjoy your truly unique Great Scottish Tours adventure!
