5.00One of the reasons we chose this experience was because the trip included many whiskey distilleries while touring a large area of the highlands. Loved the personal communication with Liam before we arrived so we could tailor the trip to our family's needs. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history, geography and anything else you wanted to know! The only thing visitors should be aware of is the cost of the tastings. The trip description lists the whiskey distilleries included but that does not include the price for the actual whiskey tastings not does it necessarily include a tour of the distillery. Would do it again!
Amazing Day In Scotland!

5.00We had an awesome day in Scotland with Liam Urquhart on 07/09/2025. Liam was super friendly and knew a lot about everything. I highly recommend booking a tour with him @ www.tuigsear.com Here's what we did: • Met Liam outside the port at 9:00 AM (easy to find when getting off the cruise, plus he sent a step-by-step guide beforehand). • 🏰 Urquhart Castle – Explored the stunning ruins overlooking Loch Ness (~50 mins). • Stopped at a farm on the way to Tomatin Distillery to see a Highland Cow (they're so cute! And they look like they need a haircut!). • 🥃 Tomatin Distillery – Enjoyed a whisky tasting experience (~30–40 mins). • 🏰 Cawdor Castle – Discovered this historic castle and beautiful gardens (~50 mins). • Had lunch at Cawdor Castle. • Returned to Invergordon on time to board our ship. It was a fantastic, well-paced experience in Scotland! Thank you, Liam, for such a wonderful experience! So many Beautiful views and pictures! Till next time! Rosa Perez
