The tour is well organized, we saw a nice stretch of coast and the guide Emily was very helpful and nice .In my opinion, however, you should make perhaps less stops and a little longer ... especially at the distillery, the time is not enough to make a tasting ... anyway it was a good experience

Wonderful day with an amazing guide Sofia. Learned a lot about Scotland. Did you know the National animal is a unicorn, and what is Haggis anyway? Beautiful landscapes. Long drive with many stops to see wildlife and views.

After my 1st day in inverness was memorably bad i booked to have a day without stress to the moray coast as there were lots areas I really wanted to visit but couldn't get too , Amber was our lovely tour guide but also accompanied by some others tour guides that day , all of them were fantastic , all off them made the day feel like it was a day out with friends . I can say any trip with any of the guides that accompanied us on that trip anyone will have a wonderful day full of beautiful sights, lots of fun and so much knowledgeable information. Seriously a big shout out to Amber,Emily,Donny,Torquil and Craig , these guys are very very knowledgeable and seriously not just about the routes they know, thank you all so much for a brilliant day ☺️

The landscape of the countryside on this tour was simply stunning. This was our second tour with Iain (he was our tour guide the day before to Isle of Skye). He interspersed his stories and historical context with some Scottish music. He has a true talent for storytelling – often mixing facts with fantasy, but always being clear what was real and what was a colorful embellishment that helped enhance the overall experience. The Strathisla distillery tour (home of Chivas) was just right; we didn’t want a tour of the full facility, but visitors were pretty much free to roam parts of the interior and the beautiful grounds – and, to indulge in a tasting if they wished (at a reasonable cost). We did not visit one of the planned stops – the RSPB Troup Head Nature Reserve due to insufficient wildlife – but the addition of Aberlour, the home of the distillery of the same name and of Walker’s shortbread – was a welcome substitution. A truly memorable tour – the beaches were serenely peaceful and breathtaking!
