5.00A fantastic experience! We are a Spanish family, and although most of us speak English, the team made a great effort to provide some explanations in Spanish during the tour. We were traveling with a 4-year-old kid, and they had a lovely gesture with her, which we really appreciated. They also kindly offered us some snacks along the way. Such friendly people who truly enjoy what they do — we would definitely recommend them!
Thank u!!

5.00We were a family group of ten Finella & Michelle met us 15 minutes early at the cruise port with their van and bottled water. Finella took a few minutes to help another couple whose guide didn’t show up. They the took us on a fun, entertaining and informative family excursion through Inverness covering all the sites and teaching us all its history complete with local treats. These ladies are real good showing off their country. Best small group tour you will take.
Fantastic Day!

Best Private Tour with Tartan Trailblazer Tours - Authentic Mini Highland Adventure from Invergordon

5.00Finella and Michelle were excellent tour guides. This was a fabulous private tour with 2 of the nicest girls as our guide and driver. They geared our tour to what we wanted to see and were so accommodating to us. We were very comfortable in the mini van that could accommodate 14 passengers and they gave us multiple snacks and drinks to try. This is the best way to tour Inverness and get the personal attention that goes along with a private tour. One of the girls in our group wanted to see a castle and they made that happen. At Loch Ness, Michelle showed us a video that Finella's mother took when she saw what is believed to be "Nessy" a couple of years ago. It was even on their local news. If you are looking for a great private adventure, this company is the way to go.
Happy Day in the Highlands
