Donnie was a great tour guide! We had a great time. He told a lot of funny stories and educational ones as well. The tour was brilliant for a one day escape specially in the winter! Would highly recommend

Absolutely delightful way to spend a day and see the magnificent area around Inverness and Loch Ness. Our guide Emily really knew her stuff and kept us engaged and the entire day was just lovely

Emily was an amazing tour guide and bus driver! She was very knowledgeable, funny and helpful. My son and I couldn’t have had a more enjoyable time visiting the highland sights. Thanks 🇦🇺!!

Had a wonderful day with Emily going to Clava Cairns, Culloden battlefield, saw a highland Coo at Robertson farm, lunch at Beauly, a wonder around town then a ferry trip to Urquhart castle. We crammed lots in but still had lots of time to explore. Totally recommend!

Lovely guide, Emily brought us around the whole day and we loved her sunny vibes even though it was a dark, wet gloomy day. Keep up the good work!

What a great day trip and guide, the big T man was knowledgeable and professional, although I already knew much of the history, visiting sites and guide’s knowledge sharpened my knowledge

Great museums and sites and Torquil was excellent as the guide: very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the local history

Jordan was exceptional! Our group was very small due to the season, and he made the tour very fun and informative. Cullodun Moor is a definite highlight, and Urquist Castle is so cool. The distillery is Singleton, btw.
