    Johnny Be Good

    Bill_Z, Sep 2026
    Had great fun with Johnny, our guide, and another couple. Highlights included Knockfarrel (amazing views, despite some clouds and rain), Rogie Falls, Beauly Priory and Clootie Well. Johnny was very knowledgeable and a safe driver. He was also flexible in case we wanted to stop for lunch (we didn’t).

    We loved Johnny!

    10/10 would see Scotland again with Johnny! He was super personable and a great guy to spend the day with!

    Response from Host, Aug 2026

    Get to know the Black Isle

    Johnny was an excellent guide around the Black Isle. We made numerous stops along the way to see little hamlets. Saw some Scottish highland cows up close, tasted a wee dram of whiskey, saw some dolphins and walked the rocky shores. We learned more about Johnny’s town and the economy of the region. All in all it was time and money well spent.

    Trevor was fantastic!...

    Excellent - Trevor was wonderful!

    Kim_T, Jul 2025
    Our tour was off the beaten track and very pleasant. There were only 3 of us and our guide - Trevor. He was excellent. We had a relaxing and educational day. Trevor was clearly attentive to our desires and we had a flexible and interesting day. It was a great day!

    Nice day out

    Johnny looked after us and accommodated my mobility needs. Only 4 stars as we didn't get to see any dolphins or seals.
