Private Walking Tour in Fort William Town Centre
Overview
Available languages
1 hour 15 minutes
Mobile ticket
You can have a fun filled private tour with a local lad and some of his family (especially his Mum). I have researched lots of information on the local area and am always learning and adding more every day.
The tour is operated by a 13 year old with assistance from mum.
We offers a unique youthful perspective on the history of the town of Fort William. I will lead you through the entire High Street giving you a tale or two of what happened here in the past and how life looks here now. We stop at some of the iconic buildings and monuments and I have a story or two that is not so well known!
Fort William has been a trend setter in its day and houses quite a few artefacts that can only be seen in 2 or 3 places in the whole of Britain!
We can’t wait to share it all with you.

5.00Meeting locals when you travel can be difficult, but is by far best way to learn about a place. That’s exactly what you do on this tour, and it was a wonderful way to spend time learning about Fort William. From the early days through to modern times, you learned about the local history by actually visiting key sites. And of course, Nathaniel is a fantastic host! What a special young person he is. He and his family are the perfect local experts who will give you the insiders view on the town. This is a very special experience, meeting such terrific people. Absolutely highly recommended!

5.00A great way to learn about the history of Fort William’s High Street. Nathaniel (age 15) was very knowledgeable. His mom accompanied us as well, and both were a delight.
We loved it!

5.00Nathaniel and his mother Elizabeth did great, they explained a lot of things about Fort William's past and his story that you're not gonna read in any books. Also, Nathaniel is a super nice and stabilizing guy, who immediately made crumbs with ours, so it was twice as entertaining for my son. We got super short walk.

5.00I really liked how Nathaniel and his mother Elizabeth presented the history of Fort William in an interesting and funny* way. I would have missed a lot of the details, if I tried to walk the town on my own. Fort William has a lot of stories from the Jacobite times, the Second World War until today and somehow a lot of important things happened in that small beautiful town. Highly recommended tour! *You know about the three wells of Fort William? Find out!
Charming, knowledgeable guide
