About Duncans Tour

Duncan’s Flexible Tours of Scotland…. wants you to enjoy seeing and exploring Scotland in the way you want to see and do anything you may choose…so we will cater for your needs…. even if you change your mind or minds... during that Tour….. be it a short Tour or a longer Tour .

We offer you a personalized and a customized Tour suited to your interests and desires…whatever they may be .

For example the changeable weather or any thing else may prompt you to go inside or even outside a Castle or two .

Or maybe circumstances in any situation on that day will cause a you to change the Tour schedule or plan….we only want to do what you want …therefore the Tour can be flexible .

We aim to please you as best we can ….we do not like set and rigid coach type Tours , where you are herded around like cattle or sheep.
We can offer you a unique personalized and customized Tour suited to your desires .

We have a Mercedes Vito Traveliner to carry you in comfort and style (A people carrier or minibus) in a bright white colour…….. which is fully Insured with a full public liability comprehensive Norwich Union Insurance . The Driver will be very experience and conscientious, safety always in mind.

Duncan has been driving since 1972 and still has a clean driver's license .

We also have this vehicle licensed as a Taxi by a local Aberdeenshire Central Council at Inverurie and it has two stringent MOT’s… a year......a good standard for checking roadworthyness of the vehicle for your own safety .

Our vehicle is very comfortable and spacious to travel in , whether it be a long or short journey and you are raised up higher than most average cars , to give you a much better view all round with much larger windows.

We provide fresh bottled spring water from Scotland and small disposable cups for you to drink and also wide range of Touring type music of a Scottish flavour to feel the atmosphere of the passing scenery .

We will take you anywhere in the North East of Scotland or to any other part of Scotland including any Islands such as Isle of Mull ,Rhum ,Iona , Skye , the Outer Hebrides ,Orkney and the Shetlands….of which there are many small islands and to admire the wide cross section of scenery , history ,culture or heritage and the way of life for the present and past.

Also to see or take part in the outdoor leisure pursuits of any kind ranging from….. mountaineering , golf windsurfing and ski-ing……. to canoeing and gliding.

If you just want to travel and explore the countryside and see the full glory of its rich and diverse scenery… we can do that for you... too…no problem….you can take still or moving pictures galore and stop to take them , upon request .

We will take you to the better and customer friendly places to eat and drink that are not too slow with service for small or larger groups .

Whenever you need a break whether this is at lunch or tea time or even Dinner……or to find the toilets, we will be glad to oblige, as we want to help you.

We can tell you right from the start what is possible to do on a Tour and what is not possible in the timescale for a Tour.. long or short…. once we know what places you have in mind to see and how much time you have…!
We can organize your Tour to fit whatever you want to see..... to a timescale.

Maps of Scotland make it look a small place…its not..! and many roads are winding like a snake and very narrow with passing places and not much opportunity to overtake ….so progress to get somewhere can take… longer than you expect or want .

We can cater for smaller groups of less than four passengers …say one two or three passengers…..but unfortunately…the cost can only be slightly discounted …(Please see our Tours web costs page.)

As the drivers time and distance covered and all that is involved in a Tour cannot be done for the smallest of fees in our Tour vehicle…..rather similar to a fishing boat trip …the skipper is not going to take one or two persons ……unless it is worth his while to do so.

We want you just to sit back and relax and enjoy the magic that Scotland has to offer, throughout the seasons and in all weathers…. To have a very good time..!! ................

To feel happy to see the wonders that nature has to offer , whether it is a waterfall , a mountain , a highland cow or just a pure unspoilt natural beach .

If you are…very…. Happy with your Tour…… We are very happy too….!!

Good Luck... Have a safe and enjoyable Tour of a lifetime, one that you can remember or never forget.

From Duncan Stuart Barker... of... Duncan’s Flexible Tours of Scotland.
