Traveler reviews
Rabbie and Charlie
Charlie was an exceptional tour guide. He was amusing and informative, even taught us a little Gaelic. Hahahaha! We had plenty of time to experience Clara Cairns and learn some history as well as Outlander trivia, then visit Culloden. We had an extra stop to visit some highland coos on our way to Glen Affric where we had some beautiful hiking and views. Rabbie tours and Charlie are a must experience. Had a blast.
Excellent Tour
This was a great tour. Our tour guide gave us so much information about each stop. Well worth the time.
More time (and less people) at Culloden, please…
Loved Clara Cairns and Culloden but definitely wished we had more time at Culloden. I don’t know if there is a better way to manage all the tour groups descending on these sites at the same time but both places were crowded with groups when we were there. At Culloden, I had to rush through the museum so I could have time to walk the battlefield, which didn’t really matter because the museum was so crowded I couldn’t get close to most of the exhibits anyway. Walking Culloden moor was well worth it though. You could get away from everyone and hear the ghosts whispering. I enjoyed seeing Beuly Priory as well but could have done without hiking around Ben Afric in the rain. I would recommend that as a separate hiking oriented trip so those who are not interested in hiking can have more time engulfed in history.
Best tour from Inverness
Really great tour with our excellent guide Liam. The tour is well paced with longish stops with mostly short stretches of driving. Liam was very knowledgeable, friendly and kind, making sure everyone was ok and enjoying themselves, even handing out midge repellant at Glen Affric. He genuinely was enthusiastic, a great story teller, and made the tour very enjoyable. Best part of the trip for me was Glen Affric- some amazing views and plenty of time to get some walks in. Culloden was interesting if sobering and Beauly was a nice place to have lunch. Also squeezed in Clava Cairns and Loch Ness.
Lovely Day Trip
Wonderful stops, beautiful scenery and windy roads. The walk along the river at Affric Glen was a highlight of our holiday!
