What an awesome tour! And even more awesome was Fiona our tour guide! She gave us invaluable insights and clear directions took care of everything and even gave us some snacks and did a raffle! She even sang to us in Gaelic. We saw 2 castles, Loch Ness and the battelfield, while learning each step of the way. Would definitely recommend this tour especially with Fiona!!!

Fantastic tour! Out of the 3 tours we took in Scotland, this was my favorite. Fiona, our guide, was informative and entertaining. We had the added bonus of having Jason, a bagpipe player on the bus with us. They both told personal stories, and told us about the areas we were traveling thru from their perspective. I loved it!

We scheduled this excursion mainly because we wanted to see Loch Ness. It was a great decision! The tour left right out of our cruise ship terminal. We enjoyed the ride through the beautiful Scottish Highlands and our tour guide Fiona was awesome! We loved seeing the Urquhart Castle (though I don't recommend watching the ten minute film in the visitor center since it took away time to visit the castle). The boat cruise on Loch Ness was outstanding (saw so much scenery)! We also enjoyed our time at Cawdor Castle and our lunch (ordered ahead).The end of the tour at Culloden Battlefield was a nice historical perspective. Fiona even did a whiskey toast and Gaelic singing. I highly recommend this tour!

This was a fantastic Tour of the Scottish countryside with Fiona, whom imparted personal stories while we drove along the countryside. We were able to explore the grounds of Urquhart Castle, cruised Loch Ness (unfortunately no Nessie siting), roamed Cawdor Castle and it's gardens, and got a great history lesson of the Culloden Battlefield. There were really nice touches along the way - Scottish snacks, drinks, a Whisky toast at the Battlefield, and of course Fiona's wonderful singing to honor those who had fallen. Great tour to maximize your time in Port and having such a wonderful guide in Fiona really made it fantastic! FYI - our driver, whose name has escaped me, was also great and very funny.

This was a great tour. But what makes it great is the tour guide. Fiona is passionate about the history and culture of Scotland and she brings everything to life.
