I happened upon Dirty Dave whilst researching for a mother/daughter trip to Scotland. The reviews all agreed Dave is funny, and perhaps a bit politically incorrect; high praise in my book. I reached out by email and Dave was very responsive. He asked me to send a wish list, from which he created a bespoke tour that exceeded all expectations. Dave took care of every detail, including amazing accommodations. Each evening we had the opportunity to talk about the next day's schedule and tweak it if we wanted to. I never felt rushed or overwhelmed.
We were so fortunate that Dave's wonderful girlfriend Leike joined us on our tour!!
Besides the amazing schedule and beautiful accommodations, Dave and Leike always had water and soft drinks on hand, and they made sure there were plenty of bathroom opportunities. They both shared entertaining stories and insights on the magical landscape we were traveling through. When we stopped for meals in villages along the way, they had great suggestions for cafes and restaurants. When we arrived at our hotel, they took our bags to our rooms.
We never could have seen and done all the things we did in six days had we rented a car and driven ourselves. Dave previously drove large tour buses, so we felt completely safe with his driving skills in his comfortable and spacious VW van. I would 1000% recommend touring with Dave!

My mom and I spent 6 days touring Scotland with Dave and where do I begin?! The short of it is that we were so thrilled with our trip, enjoyed every minute, and would highly recommend Dave’s tour to everyone.
As for the details… we decided to go to Scotland and had some locations in mind but were very overwhelmed with the idea of trying to fit in as many sites as possible and all the driving. So we decided to book a private tour for the schedule flexibility. There are many private tour guides online but Dave’s site had that “je ne sais quoi”… he seemed like a normal guy, professional, BUT like he wouldn’t take things too seriously and we could have some laughs. After emailing with him we were so happy to find that he was just that! Dave expertly pieced together our trip, organized the details, answered our million questions, and was generally so helpful. While on tour with Dave we loved that he offered as much or as little history as we were interested in that day. He allowed us to relax and enjoy the sites while he handled everything else. He was very good about giving us personal space or walking with us, totally dependent upon what we wanted. And most importantly, we loved our time with him and didn’t get even a little tired of him after so many days (can’t say that about everyone!). 100/10, would tour again, would absolutely recommend to others.

This was an amazing 4 days, the sites were great and well spaced from Cowdor castle, Skye Siligachin, Glencoe, and the isle of Ersika or guide really pulled the entire trip together allowing for the schedule and the inevitable spontaneity required. We enjoyed the stories!

Outstanding! Dave was not only entertaining but so knowledgeable! My husband, 12 year old son and I had the best 4 days with him and he made it so easy telling me exactly where to stay etc. didn’t have to be on a big bus with the masses could take our time or spend as little as we wanted it was very relaxing and fun! Also as a side note Dave could not join us for the entire tour as he already was booked but he made sure to set us up not with one but three other guides! He was just great!

This tour was amazing! We did a 5 day tour for 8 of us around Scotland with my parents, sisters and spouses. Dave customized it for us to include the little town where my grandmother lived and to the cemetery so we could find my great-grandparents headstones. Communication in planning was wonderful. The tour was planned extremely well, hotels were all great, stops were timed perfectly. He arranged a distillery tour and booked many of our breakfasts and dinners. If unable to get us a booking he would let us know the best times and places to go for our group of 8. We always knew when to use the bathroom or get a snack for the road.
On top of that he was hilarious. I loved story time when we would tell us Scotlands history and the stories behind the stops we were making. This was definitely the best tour I’ve been on and the highlight of our trip so far.
Thanks Dave!

Dave was an absolute beauty, very accommodating and funny. He is very knowledgeable of Scotland, history and added humour to the trip. Very quickly he adapted to our family and provided a great tour for all. Our accommodations were amazing and food recommendations were terrific. We absolutely loved the old mill inn it was one of the top accommodations we have stayed at. Dave made our trip so special and we can’t thank him enough

Dave took our eight friend group on a tour of Scotland for 5 days and it was phenomenal!
Dave did an amazing job of planning out each detail for our itinerary and highlighting some of the most beautiful locations in Scotland!
His in depth knowledge and humor kept us entertained the entire time and he even planned each and every stoop to accommodate the best restroom facilities and restaurants alike!
He truly made our experience in Scotland unforgettable and fun!
We can’t recommend Dave highly enough! Grab him if you can, you’ll have memories to last a lifetime with him as your guide!

I’ve traveled to 78 countries in the last 30 years and never had a better tour. We got a custom tour that met all our requirements. Plus a knowledgeable and witty tour guide. We laughed and learned at the same time. Literally the best tour ever.

I have visited 78 countries in the last 30 years and I have never had a tour and guide I enjoyed as much as Dave. Funny, knowledgable, and flexible. He works with you to let you help design the tour to meet your needs. He provides great commentary. He made everything enjoyable. His tours are a must do.
