The castle was beautiful and a must see. The rest of the tour was nice, but the castle is by far the most impressive stop. I’d recommend bringing snacks as well.
Pleasant day in the north of Scotland

Despite the weather, the tour went nicely. The time for each activity was enough, even though I would have loved a bit more time at the castle to attend the falconry demonstration in its full length. I really enjoyed the castle visit (especially the falconry demonstration - between April and October) and the walk after John O’Groats. Thanks to our guide Alex for sharing his knowledge and advices, and for telling where the nice spots were for photographs. 🙂

Had a brilliant week took in all the usual sights that were open and dog friendly so no distilery tours no castle tours only grounds were allowed, but natural beauty of coast and country were amazing, riads are really good in the main. Theres lots of places to visit with free or loe cost parking very rugged, abundance of wildlife its amazi g John o groats is worth a visit the old mill up the road was closed as was the castle of Mey but we enjoyed all the free to enter parks and woodlands and obviously the many glorious beaches and ciastal walkways excellent. Inverness town centre the best in the Highlands so worth a stop there before or after and maybe visit Aviemore on way home beautuful

Excellent tour up to John O'Groats. It was a beautiful day and the sea was clear and bright and it couldn't have been better. Our driver - I forgot her name, went out of her way to make sure that we saw everything and had a good time. I really appreciate that. A really terrific tour. I had been to DunRobin Castle before. It is really one of the most beautiful castles in Scotland.
Trip to the very north.

The tour was great. A stormy and partially rainy day but Alex made it a great trip. Along the way he provided lots of information on the history, fauna and flora and made sure nobody leaves with open questions. As we had some time to spare on the way back he took as to a burial site not on the official tour. Only downside was that Tripadvisor booked us twice but Alex said he would get it sorted.
The best tour to the far North!

FANTASTIC!!! We truly loved this trip. First, our guide, Liall, was amazing. He was professional, informative, and fun! I know it seems like a long day but it's really not. There is plenty to see and it's a great mixture of walking, sightseeing, and driving. We had just the right amount of time in each spot. Dunrobin Castle was a nice place and the gardens are stunning. It's a great place to pick up a sandwich for take away if needed. John O'Groats was beautiful. It's where the North Sea meets the Atlantic. There is a great distillery there for a quick flight of whiskey and a sweet treat. Duncansby Stacks was probably one of my favorite stops. It was a wonderful walk along the cliffs and incredibly ocean view and breathtaking natural wonder of the stacks themselves. There is so more to this tour and I'm happy we did it. It's such great way to enjoy this northeast area of Scotland without driving ourselves. We were able to sit back and relax during the drive and really see the gorgeous landscape. Thank you Liall for making our day great! Your first aid skills were a blessing on this trip!!! :)
