Epic Highlands Tour! - What a treat to take a tour with these lovely ladies. They were fun, informative and adaptable. I feel like they really took into account what we would enjoy seeing and tailored the day to our interests. They focused on us getting to see locations that were a little off the route of the bus tours, but still see the main attractions. They had beverages and snacks for us and even gave us a parting gift. It was a pleasure to be able to spend the day with them. I hope I make it back someday in the future and get to see more the hidden treasures they told us about. I highly recommend booking early with them as they are sure to fill up.

Fun, friendly and informative Tour from Invergordon - I did a private tour from Invergordon Port with my family in September 2024. Michelle and Fin were waiting for us as we departed our cruise. We had a lovely spacious mini bus and both Michelle and Fin were friendly and welcoming. Michelle was the driver and Fin was the guide! We learned so much during our tour and we even managed an extra few stops over and above what was on our intinery. We had the best day. We had lunch in the Victoria. Market in Inverness. We really loved hearing some of the local songs - from Peat and Diesel and Skipinnish (now on my playlist). Fin sang the Scottish National Athem to us and shared some stories of what it was like growing up in the area! We really didn’t want the tour to end!

Amazing Scottish experience - This was an experience of a lifetime. Finn and Michelle were absolutely incredible and accommodating. Finn is a native of Inverness(Highlands) and her knowledge about the area and the history of the Highlands had a personal twist along with humor and expertise. If you are in the area, book these two young ladies for an amazing experience of Inverness, Loch Ness and surrounding areas. They were fun, knowledgeable, personable and professional. We had a true Scottish experience with these young ladies.

Wonderful tour with Amazing Guides - My family had a blast with the Tartan Trailblazers! It was so nice to have a guided tour through some of Scotland’s Historic Locations. The tartan Trailblazers created a tour of sites that you should not miss on your travels, we loved listening to Fin and Michelle share the history about the sites we visited, and we learned so much about Scotland from them both! (We also loved that this was a half day tour as we then had time in the day to venture around Inverness!) Great time, highly recommended, super kind, and funny guides! We loved every minute!

Excellent, well-rounded tour! Great guides! - This half day tour with the Tartan Trailblazers was an awesome experience! Finella and Michelle were a great team, providing a tour with amazing sites, excellent history and entertaining folklore. Finella, a native of Inverness, was a knowledgeable and fun tour guide. While Michelle navigated those Scottish back roads like a champ! We enjoyed learning about Scottish culture and listening to Scottish music. The visit to Clava Cairns was mystical! These stone formations are so mysterious and I'm lucky to have touched something that's over 4000 years old! The battlefield of Culloden will delight all you Outlander fans... Make sure to visit the Clan Fraser monument stone! The visit to Loch Ness was a once in a lifetime experience for me... I took a quick dip in that 48 degree water and can now say "I swam with Nessie!" Inverness is a wonderful city filled with delicious food, beer, whisky and gifts. I can't recommend this tour and tour company enough!

Highlight of our Trip to Inverness! - This Inverness tour was absolutely magical. We got to experience some amazing historical sites all a stones throw from Inverness. Our guide Fin, told us all about the early settlers to Scotland right up to tjhe Jacobite rebellion. We also learned some fun local stories and got to see Highland Cows! Michelle was a great driver and also added some info at times. Great team!

Great day out! - I booked this tour as part of my mums 60th birthday celebrations and it didn't disappoint!! This was our first tour so we didn't know what to expect, but the Tour guide was so welcoming, knowledgeable and very fun. Even though we are local to the area, we have never taken the time to appreciate the beautiful surroundings that this tour showcases. Thank you for such a memorable trip!
