This is a must-do tour when visiting Inverness. Our guide was so very helpful and interesting. We loved seeing and hearing all about the history of Inverness and the beautiful waterways and green spaces. I’m sure most visitors head to Skye or Loch Ness but I highly encourage you to make time in your stay to take this tour.

A lovely bike ride around the rivers and canals of Inverness! Tour guide Allison was very knowledgeable and we had a great time. Pretty easy to cycle, very flat. Short stop at the botanical gardens.
