5.00Absolutely the best tour - please book with Gavin and his group. We could not have asked for a better experience. He tailored the trip to what our family wanted and gave us history, personal stories, music, whiskey, all the best stops, and took photos for us! His love for his country and his hometown was so evident- and it made it all the better for us. We are all seasoned travelers and we think this tour was the top tier of our experiences! Book with them!!
A great way to check off a bucket list item

5.00A visit to Loch Ness has always been toward the top of my bucket list and this tour did not disappoint. I dealt with Gavin who was always responsive to my requests and questions. For example not long before the tour date Gavin kindly switched vehicles when we decided one of our group needed more legroom. Our guide Iain was waiting for us just outside of the cruise terminal looking sharp in his kilt. We had a wonderful day due to Iain. He was funny, informative, a safe driver and was full of suggestions regarding options with our itinerary. We enjoyed a beautiful day to explore Urquhart Castle and grounds before we boarded the boat to cruise Loch Ness. Following that we had lunch at the cafeteria/restaurant at Culloden Battlefield relaxing and warming up on Scotch broth and fresh baked bread. Our final stop of the day took us to Cawdor Castle and its amazing gardens that happened to be in full bloom during our visit in early May. We then enjoyed a wee bit of whiskey to cap off the day. I hope to return one day with my granddaughter and have Iain again as our guide. Hopefully by then he will have retrieved his trapped charging cable to his EV from the charger at Culloden Battlefield! Thanks again Gavin and Iain!
FANTASTIC tour!

5.00We had such a great day with Willie. We didn’t want it to end. Saw some amazing sights, had some great food and scotch tastings. Got a hike in. Saw Loch Ness and beautiful cows. Fun conversations. Would not hesitate to book again with Willie. To top it all off, we got to hear bagpipes play “Amazing Grace”. Great great day

5.00We had a wonderful time on this excursion while we were in port for the day. Our driver and guide were excellent. Gavin was very helpful and easy to work with. They accommodated our family of 9, including 2 with wheelchairs. The tour was interesting, informative and pleasant. The timing worked perfectly with our time in port. I highly recommend working with this company and the tour is fantastic!

5.00Invergordon tours is a top notch company from start to finish. From the first email conversation with Gavin he made us feel like our tour was going to be outstanding. He was extremely accommodating and created a wonderful day for us. On the day of our tour in July we met Charlie our driver. He is a wonderful man and an exceptional tour guide and driver. He took us to some magical places through the Scottish Highlands, Inverness, Loch Ness, Colloden Battlefield, Clava Cairns and even a distillery tour. Charlie was a wonderful driver and a great tour guide and we enjoyed every minute. We had a wonderful day and loved seeing the Highlands of Scotland and all the places we got to tour. It will be a day my family will not forget. Thank you

5.00Charlie was a great driver and host! We spent the day dodging the rain, visiting Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle, Glen Ord Distillery, Culloden Battlefield and so much more. Including a couple of scenic spots and private residence that Charlie had access to. His knowledge of the area, history and good humor made the day perfect. Oh and the wee bit of whiskey was the icing on the cake. I highly recommend Charlie and Invergordon Tours.
Great Highland Experience

5.00We and another couple from our Viking cruise scheduled a private tour with Invergordon Tours. We were promptly met dockside at 8am by our lovely tour guide Joan . After a short discussion about what we were all interested in seeing, Joan suggested an itinerary which was wonderful. We started with a panoramic drive from Invergordon out to the Urquhort Castle where we were able to tour the remains of the castle and then at Joan’s recommendation we jumped on a Loch Ness Jacobite boat for a delightful ride from the castle to Dochgarroch Lock where Joan was happily waiting for us with the car. Before leaving there we had a lovely lunch at the An Tella restaurant right there which just opened this summer. We then continued to Inverness where Joan pointed out all the points of interest in that town. We then proceeded from there to Clava Cairns with the ancient ruins and buried chambers where we could take all the pictures we wanted. Joan provides us with our first Scottish whiskey libation from the “Highland Quaich” “the cup of friendship” From there we were whisked to the Cawdor Castle where we were able to tour the “working” castle and beautiful gardens filled with so many flowers I have never seen before back home. We then passed the Culloden battle field and later saw some seals basking in the sun on our way to meet our ship. Thank you so much for a fabulous tour that covered so much territory in a day tour!
