Wonderfuly day - Our time on the shore at Invergordon was going to be only several hours, and we are so glad we had Jamie as our guide! Having verified our cruise arrival time, he offered to meet us an hour earlier than the stated tour time so we could get the most out of our day. We met up him on the shore and from there, it was like a day we got to spend with a friend who knew so much about the area's history and lore. We stayed pretty close to the stated itinerary, but never felt rushed or overtaken by other tourists, and we had a luxury of having a personal guide with us. The hike down to Loch Ness was tough but we took the time and were rewarded with a serene view virtually to ourselves, which we couldn't have had we booked a shore excursion with fellow cruise tourists. Jamie even helped us realize our bucket list item to have real Scottish haggis by giving us time to eat at a pub in Inverness and made a bonus stop at a clootie well on Black Isle on the way back to the port, dropping us off 10minutes before the All Aboard time. All in all, we felt taken care of all day, and had a very memorable time visiting somewhat undiscovered parts of Scotland. The day ended up being one of the highlights of our British Isles cruise. Thank you Jamie.

Best day, best Guide! - This "tour" was wonderful! I say "tour" because it was more like a day out with a friend. Jamie is so friendly and knows everything about Scotland and it's sights and special places. We hiked down and up around LochNess. He kept the hiking pace down for me without showing that he was keeping it down. Much appreciated! He explained as much as we wanted to hear about Clava Cairns and Culloden and took us beautiful places around Loch Ness that were so peaceful and without bunches of other tourists. We will remember this day as one of the best of the whole trip!

The Highlands under a different perspective - Me and my friend are both lovers of the Highlands and on our first trip we were so lucky to end up staying at Jamie and Heather’s! We had such a great time that we decided to visit again a year after (beginning of 2020). The tours with Jamie are exceptional, you still get to see the more touristic bits such as the Clava Cairns and Loch Ness but always connected to a more sustainable and therefore exclusive (and breathtaking) trail. Ullapool, Corrieshalloch Gorge, Inchnadamph Bone Caves, Glen Affric to name a few. He is the perfect mix between knowledgeable and fun, and he and Heather (and the gorgeous little ones) make you really feel at home, so we’ll definitely keep coming back as soon as the situation allows it! ♥️

Hiking to the shores of Loch Ness - We had a great time hiking at the Falls of Foyer and down to the shores of Loch Ness…didn’t find Nessie, who must have been hiding🙃. Our guide Chris was thoughtful and attentive….had a great pub meal at Whitebridge Hotel; best baked potatoes and sticky toffee pudding.
