5.00This was a wonderful tour of the Highlands in Scotland. We started with walking around Inverness, a very cute little city. We then went through the countryside to the Loch Ness Center, which was interesting. Then toured around Urquhart castle and finish the day at a farm with Highland cows. Eleanor was a wonderful tour guide and gave us lots of fun facts about the Highlands. I would recommend.

5.00Our family had a great experience with Chas. We were able to learn about Loch Ness and Nessie, visit the Urquhart Castle, do a little shopping in Inverness, and meet some “Harry Coos”. I only wish we had more time in port.

5.00We had a great day! Our tour guide Chaz was so knowledgeable and accommodating. Chaz shared his extensive knowledge of the area and offered some insight that can only come from someone who is from the area. We learned a lot and were completely enamoured. We highly recommend this tour!
