We were met at the ship as agreed and our guide June took us to the car. She then asked what we were interested in and customized our tour to suit. She was friendly and knowledgable and really made the tour a fun and easy experience for us. At the end, she dropped us back in Invergordon and gave us some tips about the town. A great experience for us. Thanks, June!

Our experience was outstanding and our guide Laura was amazing. We were able to see all of the sites on our list, and even with a minor vehicle mishap, made it back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. Laura was amazing and kept a cool head during our mini crisis, and made our adventures very fun.
