While on our visit to Scotland, we undertook a day tour from Inverness by the Highland Explorer Tours. The visit included a Boat Cruise on the famous river Loch Ness, detailed tour of the Urquhart Castle, see the scenic beauty of Beauly, visit to the Singleton Glen Ord Distillery and finally to the historical Clava Cairns including the Culloden Battlefield and Memorial. Our Tour Guide Torquil who looked impressive in the Scottish traditional attire, kept us enthralled with the historical facts, stories and the music of Scotland. He made the entire tour interesting, informative and thoroughly enjoyable.
We shared a wonderful 3 days with Charlie our guide and driver. She was a delight from start to finish. Her playlist and Humour and incredible stories of Scotland made out trip the best it could be. Not to forget the great people we met and toured with daily. Our hotel experience was excellent and food recommendations from Charlie were 1st class choices. Thank you Charlie.
Booked the 1 day 'Lough Ness Explorer' Trip and honestly I'm so happy I did. Our tour guide was Greg, the most entertaining and delightful man to have as our leader. He spoke spectacularly and its clear he knows his stuff. I'd recommend this trip as essential for any tourist in Edinburgh as it offers a journey to trump all others. The views of the idyllic highlands are breathtaking and the many well-timed stops just made the travelling all the more feel-good. Booking this means you get to explore the gorgeous Scotland in a relaxing and simple way.
Laurie was my tour guide on the Outlander filming sites tour. She was an excellent driver and did a great job sharing Scottish history during the driving portion of the tour. At every stop she made sure to give us recommendations and even walked around with us if we wanted. I definitely want to come back and do the Isle of Skye tour with her.
Great experience, for Harry potter express and scenic highland day tour out of Inverness! We had a lot of stops and I recommend doing the 09:30 start time. We did the trip in reverse and hardly had any tourist congestion. Harrison was a great guide who provided good commentary as well as some great music. Recommend but bring a fan in the summer for the Jacobite train! Overall a great experience!
