Adventures of a lifetime - Our guide, Ryan Forbes, was AMAZING! Not only did he take us to see the things listed on the tour, like Clava Cairns and Culloden Battlefield, but he also took the time to show us “his” country. This included taking the long way around, down small country roads and through quaint villages. We got to see Highland cows, have lunch at a deli Beauly, visit a mausoleum, old churches and graveyards, and a wooded hike to a stunning waterfall. Ryan was very friendly and open and talkative and he really listened to us and took the time to get to know us, thus resulting in an unforgettable custom tour. THIS is the Scotland we came here to see. We had the vacation of a lifetime and, if you want the same, you need to book Ryan as your guide. If we could rate him higher than five stars, we totally would! Thank you, Ryan, for an amazing day!

A memorable day well spent - We greatly enjoyed our private Outlander tour with our guide, Michael. We (four adults) had some interest in seeing Outlander sites, but primarily in the people and places important to the Rebellion culminating in 1746, and in the Clava Cairns. Michael was an ideal guide. He tailored the tour to our interests, skipping a couple of small sites in Inverness we'd already toured, and suggesting an itinerary that fit our available time and interest. We spend a lot of time at Culloden, which was well worth it, and Michael scheduled other visits around that. Michael was a great storyteller, with topics ranging from the Pictish peoples to Prince Charlie's travels, both at the head of an army and on the run from the victorious English army, to local flora, and his father and brother's favorite whiskys. One of the best practices a guide can offer is the willingness to answer a question with "I don't know." We asked a LOT of questions and Michael made clear the few times he was conjecturing, which gave us confidence in the accuracy of all we learned. In all, we visited Culloden (a great museum that prepared us well to view the battlefield), Clava Cairns, Leod Castle, and the ruins of the Beauly Priory. And, finally, we met Jamie Frasier; we'll let Michael tell you that tale. In all, we could not have enjoyed ourselves more on our full-day adventure.

Best private tour in my life - This was a wonderful day. Our guide Andrew was beyond exceptional. He made history come alive with his in depth knowledge of every place we went. This was an Outlander tour but my ancestors lived the real experience in their respective time. Scotland is a treasure.

Michael - Our companion in Inverness - We went on this tour with our guide and driver of the day Michael. we had an outstanding trip with Michael not only taking us on the pre decided tour but also showed us some places which were not initially planned. Michael was dressed in traditional Scottish attire and was a wonderful company thru the day. During the trip mid afternoon my agent from India called me and told that the next day trip which was going on the Hogwarts express stands cancelled as the train is over booked and though we have already pad but we cant board it. This was bad news and especially for my 10 yr old daughter it was as if the entire trip is useless without it, when Michael came to know about it he himself was very sad and tried all along by speaking to his contacts and trying to help us. Finally he suggested that we go early the next morning to Fort William and try and get tickets at the station- this helped and to our surprise we got the tickets. The fact that he went out of his way to help us speaks volume of his god nature and warmth. Another thing to highlight is that while we were going thru this struggle and obviously we were very upset he went out of the way and paid for entry tickets to Castle Leod for me and my family and refused to take the money from me, something which was just not necessary but he went out of the way and showed what a wonderful man he is. God bless you Michael and we look forward to hosting you in Mumbai sometime soon. Thank you once again for every thing my friend.

Do it book this tour! - Do it! Book this tour it was utterly amazing! The guide Andrew was stellar, knowledgeable and had the best insights to each site! Very accommodating and enjoyed every minute! Our son loved it!

Memorable - Roger was amazing! Gave us so much info and brought us to so many great spots. He went above and beyond to make the day memorable. He dressed in kilt and he was also funny. We enjoyed his company! would love to see him again!

excellent day in the Highlands - fantastic tour around Inverness and the Highlands. Extraordinary great guide in George, who was very plesent to sent a day with and possess a great knowledge of both Outlander and the Highlands history. We would absolutely go on a tour with him again..highly recomdable!!

An exhilarating experience - The combination of a highly knowledgeable and polite guide and the comfort of the best of transport is highly potent. Even though we had only a day, Ryan packed it in with so much experience and history and carefully exposed the beauty of the Highlands. We have decided to return to him for a week long tour with the whole family to relive such personalised attention. The tour with him was Just the appropriate prescription for uninitiated folks like us.

Thanks for the great day - Our tour guide Donald was a lot of fun. He veered off the beaten path a few times, to give us a little taste of “local flavor” (we especially liked Hazie, Masie, and Daisy). Unfortunately, Fort George was closed due to the Queen’s funeral, but Donald adjusted, and took us to Cawdor Castle instead. Overall, the tour was an excellent way to see the scenery of the Highlands, and Donald was an informative and engaging companion for the day.

Average - Based on previous reviews, I booked this tour thinking I was getting a tour guide who knew Scottish history and Outlander. However I was highly disappointed with the guide’s lack of knowledge of both. He was a great driver who very efficiently got us from one place to the next however there was no discussion of history while driving. Make sure you follow the tour stops and do not deviate from the tour.
