Best Tour Ever!

Can’t say enough about this tour! Naill, our tour guide was wonderful! Probably one of the very best tours I’ve taken. Naill was very informative, gave us good background info, never rushed us and just rolled easily. Hated for the tour to end. The tour to the Battle of Culloden…great!!

Great Experience!

Our tour with Donald was incredible. He picked up the four of us outside our hotel on time. He was a jewel of a guide. Knowledgeable, numerous and very kind. We learned a lot of the local history from him and he was great answering any of our questions.

An excellent tour around Inverness

We had an excellent day out and got to see a lot of things around Inverness, learned about the history of the area, and took things at our own pace. If you’re visiting the area and don’t have a car, I would highly recommend this experience.

Well worth it

Donald was a great guide providing informational and anecdotal stories during the tour. The locations visited were all interesting with just the right amount of time spent at each. Private tour is the way to go!!

Best Tour Ever!

We have traveled quite a bit and taken many tours....this tour was absolutely the best! Niall was fun to be with and an exceptional guide. His knowledge and passion for the history of the highlands made it come alive for us. We really enjoyed learning the history of Culloden from a Highlander. He was a wealth of information about all of the sights that visited. Our last stop was the most amusing - he said that we were going to meet Jamie Fraser (I am an Outlander fan). We actually did meet him - a very cute highland cow! I can't wait to go back to Scotland and will definitely be calling upon Niall again.

Operator response

Thanks for the lovely review. We look forward to your return Niall.

This was a wonderful look at part of the Highland history.

This trip was fascinating even for the members of our family who are not Outlander fans. Our guide, Donald Pierson, was so wonderful. He was a font of knowledge about everything we saw and full of wonderful stories about Scotland and the Highlands.

Operator response

Thanks for the lovely review. Donald is indeed wonderful and we are so lucky to have him as a guide. Enjoy the rest of your time in Scotland.
