5.00We had the most wonderful day with Craig! We toured all over the Highlands and he was kind enough to customize the trip to our request. Craig is kind and funny and has the best stories. While we did see a lot, one day really isn't enough time to spend in the area. When I do return someday, I will reconnect with Craig because I know it will be another great day. Highly recommend!

5.00We had a two day tour with Craig. It was incredible! He made sure we were on time to every activity and helped organize reservations, find us our specific interests (falcon shows and any hairy coo’s!) and much more. Truly a delightful experience that made us feel at home in the Highlands. Craig went above and beyond- we truly can’t recommend him enough!
Perfect tour

5.00We (family of four - 2 6-year old kids) had a great tour with Craig today. After leaving the ship, we found Craig easily because he held a big sign with our name on it. 2 booster seats were also available for our kids. Our tour guide and driver (we felt safe at any time in his modern and clean van) was very flexible and let us decide what to do. He gave us a lot of information about the area and Scotland in general. We can highly recommend this private tour and especially our tour guide. It was an unforgettable experience and the perfect event for our 10th wedding anniversary. Thank you very much Craig!
Awesome tour with Craig!

5.00I can’t recommend this tour with Craig enough! We did this tour as part of a shore excursion on a cruise and it was by far my entire family’s favorite day! He made such each member of my family, including two young daughters, had an exceptional time. He goes above and beyond to ensure his guests comfort and delight with the sights. He kindly discussed various options with me via email before the day to best plan a tour my family would enjoy. He was also such a wonderful example of a Scottish gentleman! He was very easy to talk to and helped us understand the area much better than we could have on our own. He was very patient with both of my two kids. I loved all the places we went. I even had a couple tears while we were riding in the car from the beauty of the surroundings. If I ever go back to Scotland, and I hope I do, I’d want to do another tour with Craig.
The very best day

Highly Recommended Tour Guide for The Highlands

5.00We hired Craig for three days to show us The Highlands. He was absolutely awesome. He is a native Scotsman from Inverness. We learned a lot about Scotland and Scottish history from him. He was kind and flexible and showed us what we wanted to see (along with places we didn’t know we wanted to see.). Day1: we toured local Inverness including Loch Ness, castles, Culloden Battlefield and other Outlander sites (stones, Fraser mausoleum). Day2 we visited the beautiful Isle of Skye and hiked to the Fairy Pools. Day3 we visited Scotch distilleries and toured my husband’s favorite Glenfidditch. We had a wonderful experience all due to Craig and highly recommend him as a tour guide.
Great guide
