Elaine_P, Mar 2022
Guide Cath is a local, passionate about the history of her city and an embodiment of a warm highland welcome - easy to spot in her tartan gear! We had a wheelchair user in our party and Cath was just great-considering the most comfortable route, stopping points etc throughout! Inverness struck us as a “happy” looking city and Cath’s enthusiasm, friendliness and wit while showing us around the city centre added to that vibe! We had such fun time on the tour which lasted nearly two hours! Cath also had lots of info and tips regarding other places we were visiting on our break. Highly recommend this Original Walking Tour!
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Thanks, Elaine for your wonderful review. Stopping and positioning ourselves in the winter sun kept us that wee bit warmer. Lovely to meet you all. Delighted you enjoyed your break in the Highlands. Kind regards
Cath
