Meet Aleman – your guide and driver
Hello, I’m Aleman.
I moved to the Highlands over 30 years ago and quickly fell in love with its breathtaking scenery, rich history, and warm people.
Aleman’s tip: Every journey starts with curiosity. For me, it was one trip north that changed everything.
Worth knowing: Friendly Highland Tours is still built on that same personal approach - friendly chats, safe travel, and genuine care for each guest.
Aleman’s tip: Showing someone Loch Ness for the first time still feels special - no matter how many times I’ve seen it.
You’ll travel in my Ford Tourneo Custom, a modern 9-seater vehicle that guests often mention in their reviews. It’s spacious, air-conditioned, and ideal for long scenic drives through the Highlands.
There’s plenty of room for luggage, snacks, and photo stops — so you can just sit back and enjoy the road.
Worth knowing:
The vehicle is fully insured for private tours and transfers, and I hold a Highland Council Hackney License, ensuring every journey is safe, comfortable, and professional.
Aleman’s tip: Good company, a comfortable seat, and Highland views — that’s all you really need for a perfect day.
Every journey with Friendly Highland Tours is private, flexible, and planned with care. Whether it’s a full-day tour, a transfer, or a custom route, I’ll make sure it fits you perfectly.
Because every route and timing is different, transfers are arranged individually. Contact Aleman directly to discuss your journey, timing, and luggage details — he’ll confirm price and availability, or connect you with one of his trusted drivers if he’s already on tour.
Even a short trip can turn into a Highland story worth remembering. Have a look at some of our favourite private tours - each one planned with care, local knowledge, and a personal touch from Aleman.
Here are a few common questions travellers often ask before their Highland tour. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, feel free to call or message Aleman — he’s always happy to help plan your day.
I started with a small taxi in Inverness. Every journey became a conversation, and soon every passenger felt like a friend. Those drives grew into private tours filled with stories and Highland scenery.
I prefer to keep tours small and personal. You have time to stop where you wish and enjoy the day at your own pace. When there are larger groups, I work with trusted drivers who share the same friendly approach, so everyone enjoys the same Highland welcome.
A local guide knows the roads, the views, and the quiet places most visitors miss. I have lived here for more than 30 years. Each story I share comes from real experience. Touring with me feels like seeing the Highlands with a trusted friend.
Yes, I personally guide most tours. When I am booked. I work with a few trusted drivers who share my approach and friendly manner. You always know who will meet you before the tour. Ask early if you would like me to be your driver for the day.
You travel in my Ford Tourneo Custom. It seats up to 8 travellers and has ample space for luggage. The car stays smooth on Highland roads and offers clear views in every direction. Many guests say the drive itself feels like part of the adventure.
I have spent decades driving through every road and village. Locals share stories that never make it into guidebooks. I keep learning from them. Each tour gives me a chance to pass those stories on so you can see the real Highlands.
Yes, you can. A distillery stop, a scenic walk, or lunch by the loch often adds a memorable touch. Some visits need advance booking. It helps to mention them early. I can guide you through options and timings to make the day fit you perfectly.
