What To Expect

1

Urquhart Castle

The present ruins date from the 13th to the 16th centuries, though built on the site of an early medieval fortification. Founded in the 13th century, Urquhart played a role in the wars of Scottish independence in the 14th century. It was subsequently held as a royal castle and was raided on several occasions by the MacDonald Clan. The castle was granted to the Clan Grant in 1509, though conflict with the MacDonalds continued. Despite a series of further raids the castle was strengthened, only to be largely abandoned by the middle of the 17th century. Urquhart was partially destroyed in 1692 to prevent its use by Jacobite forces, and subsequently decayed. The castle, situated on a headland overlooking Loch Ness, is one of the largest in Scotland in size of area.

Inverness Cathedral

Inverness Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral Church of Saint Andrew, is a cathedral of the Scottish Episcopal Church situated in the city of Inverness in Scotland close to the banks of the River Ness. The Cathedral dating back to 1869 with its Gothic Style architecture along with its cherry blossoms outside and stained-glass windows inside makes it a beautiful stop for visitors before heading to/from Loch Ness.

    John and Tony (father and son) seem like great people. John took us around to all the sites on our list and even more. We loved how informative the tour was and we even got a special treat at the end. Thanks John!

    Tony is great! He contacted me ahead of time to let me know about the whole cruise port change of location and made it so easy for us to find him. He worked on timing things so we could see the most things with the least amount of crowding. He took us on back streets so we could see some Clydesdales. ( My friend is a horse whisperer) He even shared some special treats with us at Loch Ness. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend Tony for your private excursion.

  • Great tour

    We had a lot of fun with our guide (despite a few off color jokes he told) - he showed us the great Loch Ness spots, took us to a great gin distillery, Cawdor Castle and more.

  • Great tour!

    We booked this last minute due to a change in cruise stops and they accommodated us very quickly. Mark was eager to show us the beautiful highlands and have us a fantastic tour. He was extremely helpful with my elderly mother and made the day an absolutely delightful memory. The owner Tony checked in and made sure everything was good and he made today happen. Thank you to both Mark and Tony. I highly highly recommend them.
