    We loved this tour. Iain was a wonderful tour guide. He gave us lots of historical information and interesting stories. In addition and most importantly, we spent enough time at each location so that we were able to thoroughly enjoy our experiences. Ask for Iain, he was amazing!

    Had an absolutely incredible time. Emily was an excellent tour guide: super knowledgeable, really funny, and paced the tour super well. We went to a great variety of places in the Highlands around Inverness, all really beautiful or thought-provoking or just a fun time. Especially enjoyed our bonus mini stop seeing the hairy coo!

  • Amazing time at Loch Ness.
