CATSWHISKERSTOURS LTD

The story so far...

This Glasgow based tour guiding business was started in 2005 by Nigel to leverage his passions in history and heritage, particularly the Roman era in Britain.

Subsequently the business has grown and developed with a vast repository of knowledge gained from first hand touring around the Scottish mainland, Scottish Islands, island of Ireland and England with latter including Hadrian's Wall, historic city of York and the scenic Cotswolds.

We aim to design tours to match the specific preferences and needs of guests. For example, many of our tours have an underlying personal ancestry theme with visitors from North America wishing to connect with their Scottish roots. Our wide and developing portfolio of tour topics can be found on the Home Page of this site. However, do not be deterred if a specific topic is not there, simply contact us and we will do our best to assist.

Whilst the core business remains the provision of custom tours for small groups our tour products have been extended to include:

  • Self-drive or Driving Tours of the British Isles. For guests who prefer to tour independently we provide a combination of itinerary, rental car and pre-booked lodgings.
  • Custom tours for large groups of 20 plus.

Why use Catswhiskerstours?

Our USP has three strands:

  1. Real world 'pit face' experience of touring in many parts of the British Isles. Thus we can factor in this specialist knowledge when designing tours.
  2. The fact that our tours and travel products are bonded by a third party which affords our guests with financial security.
  3. Customer satisfaction to date as found in the website Guest Book.

Where to in the future?

Catswhiskerstours will continue to grow and meet our customers needs for customised tours in the British Isles. Follow daily developments via the Catswhiskerstours Blog

Why the name Catswhiskerstours?

This question arises quite frequently. In Britain the term cats whiskers means the   'cream' or top 25pct. This name was inspired from a reference in a Beatrix Potter story. In North America the equivalent term is 'cats pyjamas'.
