Great day. Excellent driver who was very knowledgeable. The tour covered a lot of history. Very enjoyable.

This was a phenomenal tour. It’s a fantastic way to see a lot within the span of a day, but I never felt rushed. Highlights for me was the cruise, the castle, and the Singleton distillery, but everything was well worth it. Shoutout to Tim for being a great guide!

Busy day but worth every minute of it! Kaden (sp?) was amazing, providing interesting background, driving the bus and seemlessly moving our group from one sight to the next. She was clear in her directions and enthusiastic about all our stops particularly the Clava Cairns which was a great ramble among standing stones. I had only 2 days in Inverness, this trip covered the sights outside the city well leaving me a full day to explore the city proper on foot. A really great day of touring, don't miss this one

Emily was such a fun, enthusiastic and informative guide and she was exceptional at managing any concerns. The experience was a perfectly eclectic combination of history, culture and mythology.

This is a very good full day tour with many important stops to see major sites in the Inverness area. Our driver/guide, Torquil, was loads of fun, entertaining, and knowledgeable. We went in the opposite order as described in the itinerary which suited us. We saw the Clava Cairns, Culloden Battlefield, a local farm with hairy coos, went for a Singleton whiskey tasting, visited the Beauly Priory and its lovely town, had a boat cruise on Loch Ness and then a sunset visit to Castle Urquhart (as it gets dark very early as we approach the winter solstice). It was an action packed tour but still tyeeecwas lots of time for gift shopping and for coffee/lunch. All in all a great day and well worth the money. I liked that the guide was prompt in the morning and throughout the day too. Oh and we enjoyed Torquil’s takes very much!
