Great Trip from Inverness

5.00We had a fantastic day with Roy visiting sites throughout the Inverness Highlands area. We had booked the Northern Highlands Tour - but after speaking with our traveling friends (huge Outlander fans), we asked Roy if we would be able to visit the sites that were on their list. He let us know that we would need to do the Southern Highlands and withing 10 minutes had come up with a route and plan that met both our needs. He had us to Cawder Castle before any tour buses and from that point, we knew we were in good hands. Thank you again for a memorable day.
Fabulous Day 😊

5.00We had a fantastic day exploring with our guide, Kate. The meeting point was easy to find and the day was spent doing exactly what we wanted to do. Dunrobin Castle is a gorgeous place as well as the many other places we visited. Thank you 😊

5.00William was a fabulous tour guide! He was at the pick up point on time, ready for our day’s adventure. He regaled us with historical facts, along with a lot of humor and maybe just a wee bit of fiction., and showed us a great deal of the Scottish countryside. Was born near where we went and had a lot of local knowledge, even from 600 years ago. You will not be disappointed in all you see and hear on this amazing journey. All four of us agree, William was fabulous!
Fantastic trip and guide

5.00Our guide, Lewis, met us at the port complete with kilt and sporran. We made our way northwards stopping at various lookout locations to admire the breathtaking views. Falls of Shin was our next stop and we were lucky to see salmon leaping. We had lunch in Dornoch, a pretty and quaint small village, and experienced tasty fish and chips. Next we saw seals and crane and made our way to Dunrobin Castle. The falconry demonstration (lasted half an hour) was informative and fun, the gardens were pretty and the castle was worth a visit. We went into the castle at about 3.30pm so it was quiet and easy to get round. A beautiful day trip and what a beautiful part of the world. Would recommend the trip to anyone - well worth it!
