5.00Our guide, Karen, grew up in Inverness and is very knowledgeable and passionate about Inverness history and culture. She was a delightful and very positive reflection of this beautiful city. It would have been great if the Inverness Castle had been open for touring (not Karen’s fault!) so we’ll have to come back when the renovation is complete.

4.00Andy did a good job as our tour guide, but the group was too large and the area quite noisy to be able to hear him well. Inverness is a charming little town. It was advertised as a smaller tour size and would be better served kept that way
Well worth it
