We toured with Mike and he was wonderful! Very kind and knowledgeable about the area. Complete professional and provided additional stops as time allowed. He was very aware of ships time frame and we felt confident getting back on time with him as the driver. He completed the trip with a toast and sweet treat that was not expected but was also very nice! Highly recommend this excursion.

    Wrong port excursion

    Norma_A, Jul 2026
    Wrong port . Unable to join due to Viator booking agent was not a good help although ship itinerary was given . Very unfortunate and was not refunded ,

    Response from Host, Aug 2026

    We are very sorry that you were unable to join your tour, and we understand how disappointing that must have been. The tour had been booked for pickup at Invergordon. When you did not arrive, we contacted you and discovered that you were at SHETLAND, which is 200 MILES away. Our team and vehicle had been reserved exclusively for your booking and were waiting at the scheduled pickup location. As a result, we were unable to offer a refund, as the tour was ready to operate as booked. We always encourage guests to double-check their cruise port and pickup details before travelling, as Scotland has several cruise ports that can easily be confused. We are genuinely sorry that this misunderstanding prevented you from experiencing the tour, and we wish you had been able to join us. We appreciate your feedback and hope you will consider travelling with us in the future.

    Best Tour in our holiday!

    MariaLuise_M, Jul 2026

    Our cruise off-boarding...

    Cheryl_O, Jul 2026
    Our cruise off-boarding was delayed. This tour company was able to accommodate the change in start time. Because of the later start time, we were not able to see each it all, but we were able to visit what was important to us. Jym was our guide, and he was amazing! Highly recommend!

    extraordinary, irreplaceable and remarkable for memories beyond memorable

    Rebecca_G, Jul 2026
    I honestly couldn’t have expected a better experience. I didn’t know what to expect but this was by far the best tour on my entire venture through all of Scotland, Ireland, and England I would never book a excursion from a ship again and would most definitely always use a private Tour experience given the one I had with this

    invergordon trip

    Karen_S, Jul 2025
    Pretty drive thru countryside. Driver was very versed in history. Didn't love that he used a taxi van to travel in as the windows and headrests made it hard to see out windows. Tour stops wer great.

    Robert_B, Jul 2025
    This was the BEST excursion of our trip. Our tour guide Stuart was the BEST! He was very knowledgeable and kind! The castle was a full functioning castle and awesome to see and so was the battlefield and its history. I highly recommend this tour and guide.

    Great Experience!

    Maria_M, Jun 2025
    We had a wonderful experience on this tour from beginning to end! We booked the tour last minute and the communication with Mike was quick and eaay. We were met by our tour guide Gene and the owner Mike which was a nice surprise. Having the owner there showed that Mike cares about his business and that we mattered. Gene was a great guide and very knowledgeable and funny. He cared about our comfort while also providing water and snacks for us. We had a time constraint, and Gene customized the tour to fit our time and also to our specific interests. Can't reccomend them enough! Excellent customer service!!

    Hairy Coo's, Loch Ness, Cawdor Castle and more

    Jackie_T, Sep 2024
    Stuart was a wonderful tour guide. He showed us the highlights of the area, and was very flexible when it came to our suggestions for itinerary changes since there were just the four of us on the tour. He educated us on the proper way to taste whiskey in a distillery too. Fun day!

    Extraordinarily Excellent Tour. MUST HAVE when ship at Invergordon.

    Nguyen_N, Jun 2024
    It was a surprise when we saw our guide Stewart as well as his boss waiting for us, more surprise when we found out that there were only 4 of us in a very nice van, a private tour. We decided to skip the whiskey stop and added the Urquhart Castle stop, which suited us perfectly. Stewart made us very comfortable and explained all of our questions. Strongly recommended tour.

    Beautiful Scotland

    Cindi_T, May 2024
    We were a group of 8 and had a private tour. When we arrived they had to split us between two guides. Our guides were Louis and Tony. The group could not praise them enough and thought they went above and beyond to make our tour memorable. Great tour, beautiful scenary! You will not regret it. We even fit in a couple of extra stops. Cawdor Castle is fantastic, the gin distillery shows the smallest distiller I have ever seen with free tastings. Clava Cairns is a must for Outlander fans. Great day!

    Best tour so far in Scotland

    inga_j, May 2024
    What a wonderful day today we had, Roy are tour guide, guided us through What a wonderful day today we had, Roy are tour guide, guided us through the picturesque countryside of Scotland. From Invergordon to Inverness And around the countryside to see amazing sites, including some of the outlander sites. We had the most perfect weather that while we were at Loch Ness there were Multiple people mostly girls in skimpy bathing suits. Roy said no I’ve never seen that here. That’s how warm it was today. Our tour guide Roy was very knowledgeable and took us to a number of sites off the beaten path which we really appreciated. Highly recommended.
