    Had a great day with Louise. She was very informative and helpful. She really made it a great day. She was very friendly and kind. We really got to learn a lot about the Battle of Culloden, taste Scottish Whiskey and try and spot Nessie from Loch Ness.

    We had the most incredible tour with our guide Craig!!! He was so funny, personable, and knowledgeable about Scottish history and of all the sights we visited and drove by, even sharing some of his own facts of the local culture in Inverness. I can’t believe we were able to visit the Clava Cairns, Culloden, the Singleton of Glen Ord Distillery, the quaint town of Beauly and the Old Priory, take the ferry down the gorgeous Loch Ness and walk through the Urquhart Castle all in one day! The views along the drive were also stunning! We highly recommend this tour!

    We had a great tour with Craig — a full and eventful journey from Dava to Craigellachie, Singleton Distillery, Loch Ness, and Fort Augustus, and it was absolutely perfect! Thanks for your tips and for sharing so many great stories along the way.
