“I would highly recommend this tour. Mo and Heather did an excellent job guiding and driving. I even had the need to locate a store for some medical equipment and they were extremely sympathetic and helpful. They really went above and beyond. They took us to the Culloden battle field first and taught us more historically significant points than we would have ever expected. We saw the castle where Shakespeare based the play Macbeth on, several highland cow farms and some Clydesdale horses. I would highly recommend booking a tour with them again”

“Our guide was excellent—knowledgeable, easy to follow, and kept things moving without rushing. He was easy to hear from anywhere in the van, even in the back, which made a big difference. As a lifelong resident, he seemed to know everyone and had great local insight that added depth to the experience. We saw a lot, covered a wide range of topics, and had time for questions and photos. The driver was great—safe and professional. The activity itself was fantastic and well-organized. A solid way to experience the area without the hassle of planning everything yourself.”

“This tour appealed to me and my husband as we did not want to do a whiskey tour. Our main interest was Dunrobin Castle and Dornoch. I booked the tour and was expecting lots of people but there were only 6 of us in a minibus, which was nice. Our tour guide Laura was exceptional and gave us lots of information about the Highlands, history, culture and environment as we drove through the countryside and villages. Unfortunately, due to the weather we could not go to the Black Rock Gorge and gave us the opportunity to see if there was anything else, we wanted to see or do. In Dornoch…”

“We expected more information and guidance on the tour. It felt like it was an expensive taxi ride. The tour guide , Chaz, was not very knowledgeable. He just dropped us at Inverness to be on our own for 1 1/2hours. He dropped us at castle ruins on our own again for 2 hours. He was very sarcastic and rude to the point where if you asked a question, his response would ridicule the person. We enjoyed the Distillary tour very much. The distillery tour guide was excellent. We were late getting to the distillery tour and he had to ask permission for us to join late. And we were…”

“We were not sure what to expect, especially because there was a new tour business that was taking over for the previous owner but BOY did we have an amazing time. Alistair was very communicative (could use a little more help on knowing times and location for meeting up, but it is a small enough port that we saw where the other groups were and just waiting there) and Geen was an absolute gem of a tour guide. He made sure to show us just about everything we asked to see (even a highland cow!) and was informative and engaging. His vehicle was nice and clean (no wifi, but that…”
