Hello, welcome to my website, Targe Tours. My names Stephen Hay and I’m a Scottish historian and private tour guide setting off on adventures all over Scotland from Edinburgh. I specialise in private tours of Scotland which means no vehicle sharing.
We can go where you want, stay as long as you want, you can change your route and itinerary at the drop of a hat, unlike our larger competitors who stick to rigid time tables and often on a fixed route, going to one tourist trap after another.
We take great pride in Scotland and its history, we delight in bringing it to life for you, as basic or as in depth as you like, as ever the choice is yours.
Exploring Scotland with a private guided tour is the best way to get the absolute most out of your time. From single day tours where Targe Tours make sure you get the most out of your short time up to mega multi-day tours. I’m an experienced Scottish Historian who’ll deliver the most upbeat, knowledgable and adventurous private guided tour of Scotland you can possibly wish for.
So get in touch today and start planning your adventure of a lifetime as we explore some of Scotlands Historic Castles, Mountains, Lochs, Monuments and let the story of Scotland unfold in front of your own eyes as Stephen dazzles you with his knowledge of all things Scotland, past, future and present.
We had three days to see as much as Scotland as we could, Steve accomodated wonderfully to our wants and needs and adjusted amazingly to all the bumps in the road that travelling on the other side of the world, AND in the middle of Winter can bring up! We visited Lochness, battlefields, castles, explored the Highlands, immersed ourselves in famous Scottish Whisky, explored the isle of Skye and threw our first snowballs at each other!
Steve is an extraordinary historian, singer and proud Scotsman – providing endless entertainment and making our trip to Scotland a trip that will stick very close to our hearts forever. There was 7 of us on this trip including our nan (who is over 70 years old!) who was wonderfully catered for and looked after well. Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts, Steve!
Private Scottish Whisky Tours with Targe Tours. We Scots have been producing whisky or, Uisge Beatha (oosh – kabah) the water of life since the dawn of time. Discovering your favourite can be an exciting & illuminating journey. Here in Bonnie Scotland we have well over 100 distilleries so you are truly spoiled for choice. From Lowland to Highland, from Islay to Speyside we can visit as many distilleries and whisky outlets as you like.
Let Targe Tours take you on a journey of discovery around this whisky lover paradise, as well as organised distillery visits we will take impromptu stops to sample a wee dram, on us, with the awesome backdrop of the Scottish Highlands as our pub. Simply magic.
If you want to see as much of Scotland as possible, but have limited time. We can take you on the most scenic route to Loch Ness and back with the added bonus of purposely avoiding tourist traps and at the end of the tour, being safely delivered to your accommodation or destination of your choice.
Don’t like Monsters, that’s Ok. I can do any type of day tour you like. All you have to do is share your ideas and together we can come up with the most incredible day tour you could ever dream of.
