Thank you, Andrew MacDonald & drivers Jim, Les & Ryan, for making our family trip to Inverness, Edinburgh and the Isle of Skye an absolute delight. Our travels to Scotland centered on my daughter's wedding, so the logistics of getting everybody there and back were complicated. But, Andrew was on-top of everything. The crew's professional, good humor, attention to detail and intimate knowledge of the area made for a perfect trip. The Scotland landscape is beautiful and the people are equally so. I've never written a review but am compelled to do so because of the excellent service and kindness of Andrew and his crew. Amazing experience!

Had booked a three-day holiday in Inverness but, plans going awry, didn't have use of a car. Didn't want to miss out on some of the exciting sites outside the city so asked the hotel for ideas. They linked me up with Hame Tours and it worked out perfectly. Not only could they drive me around, they became my guides. Steve and Andrew were very friendly and helpful, with Andrew even giving me some of his Gaelic musical renditions! They waited whilst I viewed the sites and gave me really useful tips on other places to see, as well as lots of history info as we drove around. If anyone wants to visit places like Culloden and Fort George but is worried about not having a car, consider getting in touch with Hame!

My guide, Seoras, was exceptionally knowledgeable, and his passion for Scottish culture, the Highlands and the Gaelic language is palpable. He is a natural storyteller, eager to regale you with tales both personal and epic.  I had the absolute pleasure of touring Inverness, Culloden and Chanonry Point. Including visits to famous inspirations for the book and tv series Outlander. Serolas was incomparable with his generosity and eagerness to share. Unmissable tours with amazing guides!!

We visited for the first time Inverness and walk around during 3 hours. We went along the river, walked on the pedestrian bridge which was great. We had a nice feeling of the city, it's very lively and warm people are all around. We will go back in a few days to explore some more.

Le principal interêt d'Inverness est d'être central pour certaines visites en Ecosse.Le centre ville fournit tout ce dont on peut avoir besoin : superettes, boutiques de souvenirs, restaurants ... et même artistes de rue avec leur cornemuse !
