This was an amazing tour with Craig. He was knowledgeable and engaging. We saw beautiful scenery, learned history and had a delicious lunch stop. He was punctual and had excellent communication. The pick up and return to the cruise ship went smoothly.

We are on a cruise ship and our port was Invergordon. After taking a short tram to the parking lot, the guide met us (at this port it is not possible for the guide to meet you at the ship, but the tram only takes a few minutes). We had an all-day tour that the guide customized for us. We saw Lochness and Dunrobin castle along with a lot of other things, including a waterfall that salmon jump into to get to their breeding grounds. You have your pick of castles to see - the guide will do whatever you want and explain them - but we recommend Dunrobin. It’s beautiful and very well maintained, and includes a wonderful falconry show including hawks and peregrine falcons (the answer to the trivial question is these falcons are the fastest creatures on earth reaching 250mph). We highly recommend this tour and this tour company/guide (Craig Dale).

Colin was an excellent tour guide and driver, very knowledgeable about the area and great company. We were running late getting off the ship, he called to ensure all was ok and met us at the designated pick up. The tour was tailored to our interests and time frame. We had a very enjoyable day, did not feel rushed and it exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend this tour.

Craig gave our family of six (older kids - late teens and early twenties) an excellent tour. We had been to the Inverness area several times and we wanted to repeat a couple of sites and see some new. He organized a trip so we could see everything we wanted to see, and remained flexible so we could travel at our own pace (which we greatly appreciated!)

If you are lucky enough to have Bob as your guide you will have a Wonderful day. David went out his way to make sure we all had an awesome time. He was born and bred in Inverness and knows all the history. Our Culloden battlefield experience was historically accurate and enhanced with person knowledge that you cannot get from just anyone. Bob knew the best ways to maximize our day extra time here, less time there. As Bob knows the area so well he knows all the secret places off the beaten path for the best views and least crowds. We wish we could have Bob as our guide for our entire trip!

We had a great tour! Our guide Craig was knowledgeable and flexible with our itinerary. The sites we saw were so interesting. Smooth pick-up and drop-off process from our cruise ship. I highly recommend Craig and this tour!

Craig was our guide. Excellent! Craig was there right when we got off the ship. Actually, he notified us he was there early in case we were ready. Very professional. Enjoyed hearing about the area. The tour was pleasant. This was the first time I booked a private shore excursion and will definitely do it again. So nice to have someone tell you to take your time exploring and not feeling rushed. Thank you, Craig, for making our day special and memorable.

Great scenery made even better with Colin as our driver and guide. He was always ahead of the tour buses making our tour seem even more private. One of our best tours — excellent insights into the region and people.
