Colin was an excellent tour guide and driver, very knowledgeable about the area and great company. We were running late getting off the ship, he called to ensure all was ok and met us at the designated pick up. The tour was tailored to our interests and time frame. We had a very enjoyable day, did not feel rushed and it exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend this tour.

Craig gave our family of six (older kids - late teens and early twenties) an excellent tour. We had been to the Inverness area several times and we wanted to repeat a couple of sites and see some new. He organized a trip so we could see everything we wanted to see, and remained flexible so we could travel at our own pace (which we greatly appreciated!)

If you are lucky enough to have Bob as your guide you will have a Wonderful day. David went out his way to make sure we all had an awesome time. He was born and bred in Inverness and knows all the history. Our Culloden battlefield experience was historically accurate and enhanced with person knowledge that you cannot get from just anyone. Bob knew the best ways to maximize our day extra time here, less time there. As Bob knows the area so well he knows all the secret places off the beaten path for the best views and least crowds. We wish we could have Bob as our guide for our entire trip!

We had a great tour! Our guide Craig was knowledgeable and flexible with our itinerary. The sites we saw were so interesting. Smooth pick-up and drop-off process from our cruise ship. I highly recommend Craig and this tour!

Craig was our guide. Excellent! Craig was there right when we got off the ship. Actually, he notified us he was there early in case we were ready. Very professional. Enjoyed hearing about the area. The tour was pleasant. This was the first time I booked a private shore excursion and will definitely do it again. So nice to have someone tell you to take your time exploring and not feeling rushed. Thank you, Craig, for making our day special and memorable.

Great scenery made even better with Colin as our driver and guide. He was always ahead of the tour buses making our tour seem even more private. One of our best tours — excellent insights into the region and people.

We had a wonderful day with Craig! He is very knowledgeable, kind and great with small children. He is a fantastic driver and knows all the beautiful and hidden gems in the region. We will definitely contact him again, when we come back to the Highlands!

Siegfried S

Everything was just perfect, better than expected by far!! Craig is very kind and we have lot of fun talking to him and knowing cool facts about Scotland, Inverness and Invergordon. 100% recomended! We were travelling in family and was awesome. Next time we will be doing the North way and the destilery!! Thanks Craig!! See you soon (in Mexico or back in Inverness).

My daughter and I had the pleasure of traveling with Craig for the day when our cruise ship docked in Invergordon. He took us everywhere we wanted to go: Outlander sites, Dunrobin Castle, etc. He also helped my daughter find the correct Tartans to bring home for her friends. He was a perfect gentleman and a wonderful tour guide! We have recommended him to family and friends, and would definitely book with him again in the future! Thanks again for a great time!

We booked the private car with Viator and our guide Craig was so knowledgeable and flexible. I emailed him in advance and we set an aggressive itinerary since we only had 6 hours off the ship and there is so much to see and learn. Booking with Viator meant we did not have 40 people to get on and off busses and frequent bathroom and shopping stops. We even skipped lunch so we could see and do more. With 4 or 5 people of like mind it is a great way to see an area. We picked the castles he picked beautiful falls he knew people liked (and we loved) and at the end we even had time for a taste of whiskey at a distillery (not Craig). I have cruised for 35 years and this is the first time I booked tours not run by the ship (I also did book a lovely tour on the ship) but this meant with research you could plan to see exactly what you wanted to see and stay only as long as you want to stay. Craig was great and even had snacks and drinks for us in the very nice and roomy car.
