What To Expect
St Andrews Cathedral The tour starts in inverness we drive past the St. Andrew’s Cathedral, a beautiful cathedral church dating back to 1869 located near the centre of the city. The Anglican Cathedral is the most northerly in the UK, and is an excellent example of local architecture and the Gothic style. Take some time to admire the beautiful stained glass windows and intricately carved stonework. and then on to the Ness Islands 5 min drive to the ness islands
Ness Islands
The River Ness is the river that runs from the northern end of Loch Ness, through Loch Dochfour and through the heart of the City of Inverness – in fact the river is where Inverness gets it’s name, not from the famous Loch Ness as many think, but from the Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Nis, meaning “Mouth of the River Ness”. According to the legend the first-ever claimed sighting of the Loch Ness monster wasn’t in Loch Ness, but the River Ness; when Saint Columba is said to have banished a “water monster” back into the river after it tried to attack one of his disciples who was swimming across. The river is a draw to visitors – many buildings sit attractively on its banks, including St. Andrew’s Cathedral (Inverness Cathedral), Eden Court Theatre and a number of popular restaurants and hotels. Nature-lovers should keep an eye out for common and grey seals, a number of bat species, and birds such as dippers, goosander and the occasional osprey. 15 min drive and then on to loch ness

5.00My friends and I enjoyed a Half-Day tour with Iqbal. And may I say it was absolutely amazing!!! He was the most knowledgeable tour guide ever! He told us so much about the history and culture of beautiful Scotland! It is so obvious he enjoys what he does and truly loves passing on his vast knowledge and experience to his clients. Iqbal was also friendly, flexible, and most patient with our group when we made him wait almost an hour so we could finish shopping! He kindly picked us up from our hotel to start the tour and was on time at arrival. And he helped us take some great photos of our group during the tour, giving us precious memories to look back on. It was truly an incredible experience my friends and I won't soon forget!! Thank you again, Iqbal, for giving us this opportunity. We would do it again if we ever have to chance to do so.
