Loraine was fabulous, very informative and made sure the drive was through scenic areas and she took time to stop to see the hairy coos and was very engaged. She made sure that we made our ship with time to spare.

Lorraine was Great! We could have had more time in Inverness ,not her fault . Others in the group arrived late.

Really fun tour that didn’t take all day. We took a bus tour that took us to a boat tour then to the castle. The bus tour resumed after the castle tour. It was really comfortable and interesting

Audrey_A

Disappointed that we booked a 6-8 person van to limit contact due to immunocompromised traveler and were told upon our arrival that we were now booked on a 45+ bus. We could have booked a private driver for same price at port but due to Viator’s cancellation policy, we could not cancel. The attractions were agreeable and delivered as promised per description of tour. If one has booked a tour for 6-8 people then the company should have courtesy to notify customer in advance of changes.

What a fantastic experience! The itinerary was better than I could have expected, and our tour guide was so knowledgeable and interesting and involved.... From Culloden to Urquhart Castle to Inverness - it was so scenic and beautiful and interesting. And we could have not lucked out with better weather in September! And seeing so many highland cows and alpacas was an added bonus!! Highly recommend!!

Very informative and fun! Despite the rain it was a great trip. Loved the tour, guides were great and knowledgeable. Driver was safe!

I don't know if there's enough space to tell all that I loved about this! Thank you Maxine, Seoris, Lottie, and Michael! I got everything I wanted and more! Lots of time in town, at the battlefield, the castle and Loch Ness! Also, we had the most comfortable, relaxing, and picturesque drive in the hills and there was even a few minutes to see Highland cows! My favorite was the view of Loch Ness from the castle! Unforgettable and amazing! Great job everyone! Many, many thanks! P.S. Did not see Outlander sites because we had to help stranded tourists. I had no desire to see that, anyways, and it felt good to be Good Samaritans to those in need. God bless! ~Sheila W.

We went with Chas from Thistle tours and he made the day, a wonderful tour guide. we spent the day with Chas from 9 am until 5 PM and toured the Cairns , county side including seeing the highland cattle up close.

Great tour and wonderful guide who was a local with lots of knowledge about the areas visited. Enjoyed all aspects despite some rainy weather at Culloden. Lovely drive through the Scottish countryside.
