    Louis was such an amazing guide! Her historical stories and music during the drive really set the tone for a great day. We got very lucky with the weather and it was sunny the whole time while we visited the cairns and Loch. The amount of time we spent at each place was perfect and it definitely did not feel like a 9 hour day! Will very highly recommend to anyone visiting Inverness.

    Iain was great! Good storyteller during drives to all the stops. Lovely sense of humor. Great sites for history nerd and Outlander fans alike. The guided tour of Culloden was well worth the fee!

    Wonderful day trip where you get all the goodies. The Battle of Culloden was mighty (especially if you are an Outlander fanatic) Our tourgist Emily was outstanding, charming and offered lots of history with humor. Great value!
