We had a fantastic, customized experience with great sights and a fabulous guide. We ended up on a tour on our own with Alistair as our guide. Throughout the day he share interesting facts and history about the places we were visiting along with the Highlands, and Scotlamd in general. He was congenial and accommodating, adjusting the tour timing to suit our interests.

Alasdair was a terrific guide for this adventure. He offered so many photo-op stops along the way. Full of history and love for the area, his explanation of the past and present was very easy to understand. Lunch spot he recommended was excellent. We will use him again for sure.

Alastair was phenomenal! Very hospitable and was very personable and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend him! Small group, very comfortable can!

This was an excellent excursion for us. Alastair was a very informative and really fun guide. Although the weather was misty, we still had a wonderful time at Dunrobin Castle and Dornoch.

Our driver & Guide Sarah was amazing! We loved the smaller group size & comfortable van. Dunrobin Castle & the Falconry show were AMAZING, definitely a must see! On the way there and back, Sarah drove us along back roads really showing us the beautiful countryside. We stopped at many great sights for pictures and she provided details of what we stopped to see. Highly recommend this tour company and Sarah!

We had an absolutely fantastic day on this tour. We were picked up at the cruise port as arranged in a beautiful immaculate van. Unfortunately other people had cancelled so we were lucky enough to have the tour to ourselves. Thank you very much for not canceling the tour. The scenery was fabulous and made numerous stops for spectacular views. Loved going to The beautiful castle Dunrobin plus the falconry show. Can’t recommend Go Highlands tour group highly enough and would use them for private arrangements as well. Than you again for a fabulous day!

George Ritchie is a knowledgeable and accommodating guide. Gave us wonderful overview and plenty of background info. Even went out of his way to show me a couple of top golf courses. Castle and gardens are spectacular. Definitely recommend.

The so called "guide" arrived late, and the company gave a false excuse. We asked the driver, and he said that it was not true. According to the description of the tour, we were supposed to have a "knowledgeable, kilted guide." The driver was not wearing a kilt, and did not share any knowledge. We sat in complete silence for most of the time. Also we were not offered any water as described. On the tour we did the previous day and for a lot less money, the guide spoke the entire time, and we had a goodie bag with local beverages and treats. We were just expecting water. What a difference a guide can make. We loved Dunrobin Castle and the falconry exhibition, as we are bird lovers. It was fun to stop and meet the highland cow. We didn't get to walk around Loch Fleet which was disappointing, because we like birds, nature, and wildlife. I think we drove right by it, but the driver never said anything so we didn't know. We had to find out some information about Dornoch Cathedral from a kilted guide from another company who accompanied his guests inside. Our driver just dropped us off and stayed in the van. We contacted the owner afterwards about our disappointment, and he said my wife was rude. Yes we were irritated when the driver was late, and we were told to arrive early. No we did not believe that the driver was tying up the ship... come on! It would have been more professional to apologize for the poor experience and offer at least a partial refund, not insult my wife. You can see in the reviews when someone isn't completely satisfied, it is someone else's fault. I believe we would have had a much better experience with George or Alistair, but it was a bad luck of the draw.

Alastair was a great host and tour guide. This excursion pleasantly exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend it to others.

Amazing tour! Alister our guide was attentive, patient and let us stop to get close up to Highland cows. He recommended great places to eat, shop and visit on our free time. Best tour I had in Scotland by far.
ira_k, Aug 2025
Great full day tour from invergordon to see sunroom castle, a very good falconry demonstration, and many tasty bits of Scotland along the way.
Great and knowledgeable guide

Sarah was amazing and so knowledgeable. Amazing tour, the highlight of our Scottland experience. Sarah showed us everything we asked for and we learned so much history

Alistair is an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledgable and accommodating. The tour included scenic view points, visit to a salmon leap and the enchanting Dunrobin Castle and Gardens which were beautiful.We rounded off with a visit to Dornoch and a distillery. A lovely day

We had a wonderful guide who told us a lot about Scotland. Also very impressive was the castle and the falcon show.

We came to Invergordon on a cruise ship and their tours were sold out. Which was lucky for us - we got a fantastic tour with the three of us and two others in a 7 passenger mini-van with a guide who was Scottish and obviously loved sharing his country with people like us. He showed us things as we were driving back roads a large tour bus couldn't have taken, and even customized the tour a bit based on what we wanted to see. His stories of Dunrobin Castle, the HIghland Clearings, and how things worked politically way back when were really enlightening even though some were sad. The different lives the nobility had versus what the regular people had was certainly food for thought. All in all, an outstanding tour - Alastair was remarkable. When we got back to the ship and compared our tour to what people had who signed with the cruise line, even they agreed we had the better tour, and for less money, too.
Brett_S, Jul 2024
We loved this tour as it was a very small personal group and it was a little flexible in being that we were able to stop to check out extra things along the way.
Our guide was very knowledgeable also.
Mario_G, Jul 2024
Very good Tour, Jonny is a super diver and guide. Perfect Land Rover and a lot of insider Tipps. Super.
Sanjoy_H, Jun 2024
We really enjoyed our tour with Alistair - he's very knowledgeable, very well-spoken and easy to get along with (and also, very funny). This part of Scotland is gorgeous and the sights and sounds kind of sold themselves but, if anyone were to ask me what my favourite parts were, my answer would be the gardens at Dunrobin and the very story-book quality of the little town of Dornoch where we stopped for lunch.
This was a sort of primer for us on the charms of Scotland and we were definitely sold! We'll be back, for sure!

Beautiful Castle and garden. Great tour guide. Didn't receive message for later departure time.We were picked up later than expected.
Ginger_B, Sep 2023
Our day with Allistar was outstanding. His knowledge of the region and his desire to deliver a great experience for us prevailed through the 7 hours we were together. The castle and gardens were quite beautiful. The falconry exhibit was a highlight. We were given lunch options and subsequently chose a delightful cafe that served a sumptuous lunch. So glad we took this trip. You will not be disappointed in this company and their services.

He was excellent!
MarieHelene_B, Jul 2023
We had a wonderful day and Alistair, our guide, went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our day. Merci!!!
Terry_C, Jul 2023
It was a nice trip. A visit to an interesting castle and a very pretty village. A bit of Scottish banter along the way. My only gripe is the price £125 each for a coach trip. This may be the going rate but it is still a bit steep.
Steve_C, Jul 2023
We loved our tour with George! His stories were the perfect addition to the fabulous sights we visited. Thanks for a great day, George!
Weldon_W, Jul 2023
The overall experience was beyond our expectation, Alister was a terrific knowledgeable guide and easy to be with. I would highly recommend him and his company!
