    We did this tour on February 11th, my friend and I. As it happened, we were the only ones that day, so it basically turned into a private tour haha. We had an amazing time. We visited Clava Cairns, the Culloden battlefield, enjoyed some whisky at a distillery, took a ferry trip on Loch Ness and visited one of its castles, among other stops our guide Emily showed us. She’s absolutely lovely. We had such a great time with her, it felt like the three of us were adventure buddies exploring the Highlands together. A truly memorable day. Thank you, Emily, for everything! And we hope you come visit us on the Costa del Sol someday. Por los patitos!
