Disappointed in Customer Service

4.00I am sure that the walking tour is very nice, however we were unable to experience it as our train to inverness was delayed en route by 3 hours. We sat on the train for those 3 hours. We were disappointed in the manner in which the tour operator interacted with us when we were notifying them of our delay which was totally out of our control. Their response was just "we hope you get here". It would have been nice if they said - "if you are late but still within the allocated time, we could have the (private tour) guide wait and provide a shortened tour" - or even an overview of Inverness at their office. And a "so sorry you are experiencing this frustration with the train" would have also been nice. When it became apparent that we would totally miss the tour, understanding it is non-refundable, it also would have been nice to have been offered a discount on a future tour (which we likely would not have been able to use.) So, in summary, the team could absolutely improve their customer interaction skills, and we could have been left with a much more favorable view of their company and of our introduction to Inverness.

5.00Spent a delightful 1.5 hours with Christine who was very knowledgable about Inverness, its history, buildings & local legends. Her friendly, laid back style made this a very interesting tour. Punctual and a good length/pace.

5.00Becky is an amazing tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and doesn't bore you with just facts. She makes the tour a memorable experience that stays with you even after the tour as you walk throughout the city.
