2 different tours - both very impressive - We’ve actually done 2 different tours. The first one was a half day tour. We went to Fort George, then to some ‘Outlander’ sites including the battlefield of Culloden. A nice first day, for me especially the background of the battle was interesting - our guide Stuart brought it like it happened yesterday. We didn’t go to Loch Ness, because the next day our group ran the Loch Ness marathon. So the day after the run, we booked the North Highland tour which was really awesome. Some highlights: Dornoch is absolutely beautiful, Dunrobin Castle is very impressive (if you’re there at the right time you should definitely watch the falcon show), the views when doing this scenic tour are astonishing and of course we couldn’t spend our post-marathon day without having a dram or 2 at Balblair distillery. Both trips were super well organised - there were aeven complimentary snacks and water in the vans.

Perfect Highland Day/Tour - Our tour guide Stuart was absolutely lovely. We appreciated the added touch of his wearing a kilt. Made for an even more authentic experience. He provided us with lots of history, stories and explanations of what we were seeing on our drive. We had fun and interesting conversations. He is an excellent driver as well. We thoroughly enjoyed all the stops and sights, the weather was perfect, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day.

Great trip of North Scotland - Mike was fantastic! The van we rode in was super comfortable. Mike took good care of us and had loads of information to share with us on history, culture etc. He made sure we weren't rushed anywhere but yet he knew the schedule well enough to get us to the falcon show at Donrobin Castle on time.

Beautiful north highlands experience - Mike was a wonderful guide. He is very knowledgeable about the local history and character of the areas we covered on our north highlands tour. The highlights included Dunrobin Castle and Gardens, Clynelish Distillery, and the Falls of Shin.

Great trip, highly recommend for families! - Fantastic trip. Iqbal / Mike was very attentive, both to my boys (7 and 9) and my father, who is disabled and has mobility challenges. When we visited Dunrobin Castle, he was able to get permission to drive us to a part of the grounds that normally are only accessible by walking up and down a lot of steps, so that dad could see it as well. Great trip, highly recommend!

Great tour - Great tour! Way easier to see the sights with someone who is local than with google maps and a rental car. Wonderful to know what you are looking at and why it is important. We also got excellent ideas from Lewis for the rest of our trip.

Memories made - Many thanks to our tour guides Craig (Dale) and Bob for a fantastic day. We explored Dunrobin Castle, Falls of Shin and Clynelish Distillery. We ended up at a local restaurant with Mama P serving us with local drinks and food. Thanks again guys from our group of 12.

Excellent - A wonderful experience. Mike was an excellent guide who has a deep knowledge of the area and its history. The tour covered a wide range of beautiful places that arent massively touristy and was curated to our preferences. We had a lovely time.

Good but uncomfortable - Guide was informative and accommodating to our requests. He was interested in showing us. All of the highlights. The only concern was we booked the tour for 8 persons but the van could not carry 8 comfortably so two persons stayed back
