Top Inverness Day Trips

Steven, our guide, did a great job giving us background information on stops as we were driving and telling us various Scottish facts on our drive. He paced each stop very well, didn’t feel rushed at all. The scenery of the highlands is truly spectacular along the drive so have a camera ready. Portree was an adorable town in Skye, and we spent about an hour eating lunch there and exploring. We ended up having 1.5 hours at the fairy pools, and there were various short picture stops (including Eilean Donan castle).

We had a blast on this tour. Despite some minor technical issue our minibus had in the morning we covered everything on the list and some more. Castle is big and falconry show was amazing. History is gruesome sometimes but views are spectacular. Our tourguide/driver Lewis was entertaining, courteous and knowledgeable. I appreciated all the details he provided about history, flora and fauna, geography etc. It created comprehensive picture of a beatiful place. John O Groats was fun, but my favorite was Duncansby Stacks and puffins nesting near it Wish we would spend a bit more time in that magical place. Our "extra" was a quick stop at Carn Liath - one of many brochs left from pictish people. Highly recommend this tour: you will cover a lot if ground and will not be disappointed.

A great tour with our guide Kev! Being from the area he was extremely knowledgeable and was able to give a personalized perspective on all of our stops. His warmth, friendliness and sense of humor added to the experience. We were traveling with our family which included some elderly parents and he was able to pace it out perfectly while still giving an amazing experience to those of us who were younger. We would highly recommend this tour.
