We went on a very windy...
We went on a very windy and cold day, but got some great photos and inside the cabin was nice and warm. The boat was clean, check-in was easy, there was parking closeby. Great little tour.

Great experience
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The bus driver was very nice and gave us some wonderful tips of things to see in Inverness we otherwise wouldn't have discovered. Also enjoyed the Coo's. The timings all ran smooth, the cruise and castle were great. Would absolutely recommend.

Great way to look for Nessie!
Great cruise! Informative and good seating options for both outside and inside. Also options for both shorter or longer boat rides. Great way to see castle from water. Highly recommend!

Inverness guide tour
George took us to numerous locations that a standard large tour bus wouldn't typically accommodate. We were delighted and impressed that he served as our guide. We observed many attractions that weren't included in the standard tour itinerary or our original experience. However, we were thrilled that he incorporated so many additional elements. He shared extensive insights and historical context with our group.

Full day of fun!
Wonderful experience! Loved the small group, the amount of information, level of fun and our wonderful tour guide (George). We went to a different castle which was probably better than Inverness. Beautiful Gardens and great lunch. Thanks so much!!

Highlands history, nature and whiskey!
We packed so much into one day and yet the pace was perfect. Donnie shared Gaelic lessons, local history and great suggestions. This was the perfect way to experience Highland history and culture.

Great and entertaining...
Great and entertaining guide (Craig). Enough time reserved for each attraction, including lunch. Nothing to complain.

Great day tour
This was a great tour. We really liked the small group and our guide was great. We were a bit concerned it would be difficult to find the van but it was easy to find them as they were just outside the cruise terminal. The stops were all great. Urquhart, despite being crowded, is one the most picturesque castles we have been too. Don't skip the short movie on the history when you first get there. It is well worth the few minutes.

Great for Outlander fans
Our guide Laura was amazing and couldn’t do enough for us. She was very knowledgeable and friendly and gave us lots of information. If you are an Outlander fan I would highly recommend this tour.

When to visit

With its rich history of battles, Urquhart Castle is an absolute must for history enthusiasts.
Wear comfortable shoes and bring rain gear, as much of the ruins are exposed to the elements.
Most of the castle is accessible via paved paths, with the exception of the guardhouse, the battlements, and the first floor and basement of Grant Tower.
