Avril is the best tour operator we had on our trip to Scotland. Picked us up at the cruise ship docks and whisked us away for a great tour of Cawdor Castle, Colloden field and viewing of Loch Ness. The hairy “coos” was a treat. She had us back in plenty of time for our ship’s departure. Very friendly and informative.
Spectacular day with Avril!

Josephine was exceptional and an interesting historian. We loved all the stops and personally accompanied one of our friends to the area at Colladen where his ancestor was buried. The Cairns and Coos were amazing!
A Perfect Excursion for Cruisers!!!

A great excursion, even if you’re on a cruise ship. They will meet you right off the shuttle, outside the port in Invergordon.
