Gary was an amazing private driver guide for my small group I hosted in the region for 5 days. Every day in Scottish dress keeping us safe and on time and showering us with Scottish stories and history throughout! I’ll hire him again for myself and clients.

We traveled from St. Andrew’s to the Highlands and had a fantastic trip! Gary S is a great guide and extremely knowledgeable providing details and interesting stories for each of our stops. If you are booking a trip I highly recommend Gary. I can’t imagine a better trip or guide. You will be pleased.

We had an absolutely fantastic day with Executive Transfer Scotland. From the moment we made our booking until we were dropped back in Edinburgh, everything was seamless. We booked at the last minute, and Wojciech couldn’t have been more accommodating. Communication was excellent, and he put together exactly the day we were hoping for. The Mercedes sprinter was immaculate, spacious, and incredibly comfortable, making the journey through the Highlands a pleasure. Wojciech was not only an excellent driver but also an outstanding guide. He was friendly, professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and always had a smile on his face. We had a wish list of places we wanted to visit, including the Highland cows, the Kelpies, the Skyfall viewpoint from James Bond, Loch Ness, and as many spectacular Highland landscapes as possible. He managed to fit everything into the day without it ever feeling rushed, while sharing fascinating stories and local knowledge throughout the journey. What really stood out was how flexible and genuinely invested he was in making sure we had the best possible experience. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and it was clear he takes great pride in what he does. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Scotland, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Executive Transfer Scotland, especially Wojciech, to anyone looking for a private Highlands tour. Thank you for an unforgettable day!

Just used this service for all our transportation in Scotland from July 11th-July 18th, 2026. The drivers were all so friendly and personable. They were early each time to pick us up. Communication was great. Highly recommend using them for your transportation in Scotland! First class service!

We just returned from an amazing 3 day tour of Scotland’s Highlands and the Isle of Skye. We started in Edinburgh and passed through spectacular Highlands, Isle of Skye and back through Inverness. All aspects of this trip were picture perfect starting from planning our itinerary, thanks to Wojciech Koziel, who picked all the interesting spots based on our preferences. We enjoyed so much traveling with Gary Sadler and listening to all the interesting stories, legends and historical recounts of Scottish history. I have been traveling in every continent for the past 40+ years and I have to say this is the best organized and most pleasant tour I’ve ever been on. We highly recommend ETS and Gary Sadler and we will definitely be back for more!

We just finished a wonderful 3 day tour of Scotland. Starting in Edinburgh, driving through the spectacular Highlands, Isle of Skye and back through Inverness. The planning and care of ETS preparing and tailoring our itinerary was amazing and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip without worrying about logistics. The superstar of our trip was Gary Saddler, amazing tour guide, storyteller and planner. We had a great time learning about Scottish history and geological highlights. It was a pleasure traveling with Gary and even the small “inconveniences” that arise from road trips (traffic, detours etc) were handled seamlessly and did not impact the tour in any way. Gary even handled booking the weather so we got rain only while driving 😂🙌🏼 Highly recommend and we will definitely be back for more!

We booked an 8 hour customized tour with this company. Gary was our guide and driver. The service far exceeded my expectations: it was professional, friendly and timely. We enjoyed every minute of the tour and were able to tour 4 additional sites which were not on our original itinerary. Highly recommended!

My experience with Executive Transfer Scotland Edinburgh was extremely disappointing. From the very beginning, I encountered unprofessional behavior from the management team. Messages and requests were often ignored, responses were delayed, and communication was poor throughout the entire process. On several occasions, the managers came across as rude and dismissive, showing little respect for their clients. The lack of professionalism and organization caused unnecessary stress and avoidable problems. Instead of providing reliable customer service, the company left me feeling frustrated and unsupported. It seemed that customer satisfaction was not a priority, and any issues that arose were handled with indifference rather than responsibility. When booking a professional transfer service, customers expect efficiency, clear communication, and respect. Unfortunately, Executive Transfer Scotland Edinburgh failed to meet even these basic expectations. The overall experience was a complete disappointment, and I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for a dependable and customer-focused service.
