Doesn't do Inverness justice

This tour lacked any real information about what we were seeing and the stops were limited and of little interest - this could have been vastly improved by a much more informative audio guide. Other than a few words here and there, it was mostly music. Scotland is an amazing place and Inverness is gorgeous but this tour did not do it any justice. Include more information even if its folklore.

A Ride Around Inverness

The woman who helped the driver was excellent, very nice, friendly she was very accommodating to clean the wet seats. As for the tour it was okay, the driver drove so fast it was hard to take photos. The bus had big advertisements on the bottom windows making it hard to see out and not all the headphones worked.

Don’t do this tour it’s crap

This was the worst bus tour 1st :The Audio wasn’t working so we had no idea where we’re going what’s stop we were at nothing 2nd : the trip went round so fast We were back at the stop we got on before we knew it 3rd : no sight seeing most of the trip we were in suburbia going past rather ordinary houses even if we did go past something of interest we wouldn’t know it cos no Audio What a waste of $45 .00 Seen more on the local bus service into town cost $3.00

Just don’t

Really not worth it. A tour of the housing estates with a narration so out of sync that it was impossible to follow.

Skip the hills and rain

This was a good way to get around the city, especially with all the hills and on and off rain. The narration and Scottish music over the headphones made the rid more enjoyable. The stops got you to all of the best spots, and we never had to wait long for one to show up.
