Best!

Best day ever! Highly recommend. Our driver was personal and very knowledgeable. We saw so many different sites, and got everything in plus more.

Great tour

Colin was an excellent tour guide and driver, very knowledgeable about the area and great company. We were running late getting off the ship, he called to ensure all was ok and met us at the designated pick up. The tour was tailored to our interests and time frame. We had a very enjoyable day, did not feel rushed and it exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend this tour.

The BEST and most accommodating tour

If you are lucky enough to have Bob as your guide you will have a Wonderful day. David went out his way to make sure we all had an awesome time. He was born and bred in Inverness and knows all the history. Our Culloden battlefield experience was historically accurate and enhanced with person knowledge that you cannot get from just anyone. Bob knew the best ways to maximize our day extra time here, less time there. As Bob knows the area so well he knows all the secret places off the beaten path for the best views and least crowds. We wish we could have Bob as our guide for our entire trip!

Our Best Tour in Scotland

Great scenery made even better with Colin as our driver and guide. He was always ahead of the tour buses making our tour seem even more private. One of our best tours — excellent insights into the region and people.

Best way to go off a cruise ship.

We booked the private car with Viator and our guide Craig was so knowledgeable and flexible. I emailed him in advance and we set an aggressive itinerary since we only had 6 hours off the ship and there is so much to see and learn. Booking with Viator meant we did not have 40 people to get on and off busses and frequent bathroom and shopping stops. We even skipped lunch so we could see and do more. With 4 or 5 people of like mind it is a great way to see an area. We picked the castles he picked beautiful falls he knew people liked (and we loved) and at the end we even had time for a taste of whiskey at a distillery (not Craig). I have cruised for 35 years and this is the first time I booked tours not run by the ship (I also did book a lovely tour on the ship) but this meant with research you could plan to see exactly what you wanted to see and stay only as long as you want to stay. Craig was great and even had snacks and drinks for us in the very nice and roomy car.

The way to see it all!

Craig, provided us with an outstanding overview of the entire area around Inverness. He met us at our ship and was very flexible, taking us to all we wanted to visit plus many more he knew we would appreciate. He is pleasant to be with and very knowledgeable about the area. His automobile was clean and comfortable. We highly recommend Craig!
