Traveler reviews
Best tour in Scotland!!
This was the best tour that me and my husband did will it Scotland for 8 days. The experience and photos were well worth the cost of the tour.
A full day of highland fun!
What a great day! We loved seeing such a variety of sights near Inverness. Iain was a great guide, very knowledgable, great driver and funny. We learned so much history and enjoyed the inter weavings of the outlander fiction.
Loads of fun!
Iain was an excellent guide!! He was hilarious and it was such a great day trip!
Buy castle ticket!
Iain was very knowledgeable and friendly. Favorite was the Castle and Loch Ness. Clava Cairns were incredible! Whiskey stop was interesting but not my cup of tea, but it was fun to try. Would have liked a bit more time at Beauley as it wasn't much time to have lunch AND walk around. Def buy the castle ticket through them!!!
A perfect day in the Highlands
This was a perfect way to spend a day in the Inverness area! Our guide Sonia was wonderful, with loads of Scottish charm. We learned so much and also had the best time experiencing as much of the Highlands as we could in a day. The itinerary was perfect with plenty of toilet and cafe stops along the way, although be warned that a lot of shops and restaurants are closed on Sunday if that ends up being the day you go. It was a little stressful to make time for lunch due to this but it all worked out! Highly recommend.
