This tour is a Fort William must-do! Nathaniel and his mum led us along a leisurely tour of the High Street, sharing interesting historical insights along the way. They are both delightful and lovely to chat with, and in addition to learning about the Fort William history, we were able to ask them questions about life in Fort William and Scotland in general, which was very interesting. Learning about the area from true locals is the best way to go, especially when they're so much fun! Thank you both!

This was an excellent walking tour. Libby and I would highly recommend it. Nathaniel and his mum provided a very entertaining and informative history of Fort William pointing out things we would have otherwise never known. Thank you.

We learned so many interesting facts about Fort William and the surrounding areas while also getting to know each other and laugh a ton! 10 out of 10 would recommend this tour to anyone coming to Fort William. Such a wonderful family to get to know.

Meeting locals when you travel can be difficult, but is by far best way to learn about a place. That’s exactly what you do on this tour, and it was a wonderful way to spend time learning about Fort William. From the early days through to modern times, you learned about the local history by actually visiting key sites. And of course, Nathaniel is a fantastic host! What a special young person he is. He and his family are the perfect local experts who will give you the insiders view on the town. This is a very special experience, meeting such terrific people. Absolutely highly recommended!

A good overview of the town’s history with a mother and budding guide son. Filled in some blanks for me.

A great way to learn about the history of Fort William’s High Street. Nathaniel (age 15) was very knowledgeable. His mom accompanied us as well, and both were a delight.

We were met by Nathanial and his mum and it was a really enjoyable morning. Easy walk around the high street, learning the history of Fort William. I would thoroughly recommend this tour. We were two older adults, but I think kids would enjoy it as well.

Our walk about with Nathaniel and his mom was outstanding. We got to learn about Fort William and enjoyed a personal experience filled with good conversation.
Jodi_S, Jan 2025
We learnt so much about Fort William’s history! A great little tour ( although we were out for a good hour), taking us up the High st and pointing out old buildings and fine details you’d miss without a bit of local knowledge.
Nathaniel and his Mum happily met us despite the appalling weather conditions ( a storm warning was in place with an awful lot of rain and high winds) and shared their in depth knowledge of Fort William and answered all of our questions ( we asked quite a lot!)
They even accommodated a last minute change of time to try and get a lull in the downpour ( kind of worked…..it wasn’t quite so apocalyptic)
Definitely best to get a tour with a local and it was just us , so an added personal touch. We would thoroughly recommend Nathaniel’s tour! 🙂

We booked the tour with Nathaniel and his mum. We had an absolute blast walking around the town with them and learned a lot about the history of Fort William (and why Scottish pies are the absolute best food that contain everything you need!)

This tour was one of the best parts of our trip to Scotland! Nathaniel (and his mum Elizabeth) were so informative - it was great to learn about Fort William’s history and hear firsthand about life now. My family would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.
