This was a really good tour and we really enjoyed it. The only downside was that the microphone on the bus wasn't working properly. Our guide did everything she could to overcome this and it wasn't her fault, but I was sad that I didn't get to hear all the great things she had to say. However, it was still an excellent tour and well worth it.

Invergordon was a challenge as a port - no place to wait while waiting for the rest of the group. Our guide did a good job of time management so we could visit Culloden though we could have used more time there & less time at Cawdor castle. We did cover all the highlights though that were in the tour description.
Fantastic Tour of Scotland and Coos - Not to be missed!

This tour is fantastic!! Our tour guide Mo was just perfect and possessed a fantastic knowledge of Scotland. Each stop was a treat, and her knowledge made each stop educational and fun! Further during the drive to each spot, she shared a variety of information and wonderful stories! The entire tour was the best we booked in the Scottish Isles! We look forward to visiting Scotland again, and we hope to book a tour with Mo again!
Good tour, less than cruise ship pricing

Very nice tour that went by quickly. Chas and Dougie were wonderful. Spent a little more time at the battlefield than needed, meaning less time with highland cows. There was zero opportunity to pet or feed the highland cows which we were very much looking forward to doing. Cawdor castle was very nice. Please take note that you must take a shuttle from the cruise port to the pickup point, walking is not allowed. Be sure to take that into consideration when planning to leave the ship. We left at 8:25 AM for a 9:00 AM tour time and arrived at the pickup point at 8:50 AM due to people being late we didn’t leave to walk to our bus until 9:15 AM which meant our tour didn’t technically start until 9:30 AM. Mini coach means about 32 passengers with a bathroom. The seats were quite tight.
