Excellent trip!
This was a great way to see the Highlands in one day. The 14 person bus was perfect. Lorraine from Avril's gave us such great history. Well done!!

Perfect day in the Highlands!
I do not have the words to describe how fabulous this experience was. Alastair was wonderful! He had stories and information about Scotland that were engaging and entertaining. The tour was perfectly timed - not rushed as some day long tours can be. I would highly recommend this company and plan on using them again in the future.

Going back in time!
Urquhart Castle and Clava Cairns, I am a fan of the Outlanders books and to see where the battle took place and touching the stone was great! Our tour guide Doug was very interesting and arrived on time and got us back to the ship on time. I would recommend viator to everyone!

George is a cool dude.
George was very flexible with my wife and me. He talked briefly with us when he picked us up and quickly determined our interest. From our conversation, he suggested a game plan for events which turned out to be wonderful. We very much appreciated his depth of knowledge, wiliness to field questions and relaxed attitude. George was so knowledgeable and gave us so much background and historical information it made the tour truly unforgettable!

Great guide really knew his history and made it interesting.
Clava Cairns we were not aware of their existence. Door to door pick up and drop off was convenient.
