Great small group tour - Excellent small group tour. Very informative and entertaining day. Our guide was helpful, friendly and had a great sense of humour.

Amazing - We had an amazing tour with Avril! She was waiting at the cruise port with her bright umbrella. Everything went as listed. She was easy to understand and made the experience enjoyable! I highly recommend taking this tour.

Wonderful! - Wonderful tour with wonderful tour guide. Prompt, spotless vehicle, knowledgeable and responsible. Itinerary was top notch. Thank you.

Tip if the Highlands - Due to personal reasons Avril could not guide us so she arranged for us to join another (identical) tour. Our new tour guide was George who was knowledgeable and kept things interesting. George took the time to explain the area we were visiting along with some of the history. Overall it was a fun day filled with fantastic scenery.

"Dun" miss the castle .... - This was probably the best excursion we took during our UK and Scotland cruise. Our driver/guide was Amy who did a great job in both roles. It is not easy to drive and talk to a group at the same time. One of the reasons you should take this excursion is because it is done in a 16 passenger van ..... easy on, easy off, no wasted time waiting for 40 people to enter, exit, use toilets, etc. Dunrobin Castle is a must, the interior is amazing - even though you visit a small number of the 189 room - each room is decorated in a period style. As you approach the castle from the main road it is very deceiving because you only see a very small portion of it. Once you go to the other side to see the massive front facing the water you will be amazed. There is a small cafe inside for fresh snacks. The gardens compare with Versailles. Also, be sure to go to the falcon and hawk demonstration in the gardens. Their flight patterns and training is impressive. The narrator fully explains how they were used on a daily basis to feed the castle residents. The history of the castle owners is quite controversial. We made a quick photo stop at Loch Fleet before visiting the village of Dornoch, a quaint beautiful town. Lunch options were limited - "Greens" at the courthouse was perfect. Last stop was Balbair Distillery for samples. The scotch was tasty and strong.

“Go to the north” a stop on cruise with April - Avril is bubbly, cheerful and shares with us the love of her region. Lots of explanations about the history of Scotland, ways of life... There were only 4 of us in an extremely comfortable minibus. Departure and return to the boat in Invergordon. Magnificent Dunrobin Castle and gardens, superb views of the loch, seals, Scottish cows. Dornoch is a very charming village. And finally distillery with tasting for amateurs. Wonderful day. Thank you April.

Best tour we have been on!!! - Amy was our guide and she was outstanding. The sites we visited were beautiful and Amy kept us on task and a in joyful mood. Amy stated her goal was to give and in-depth feeling of belonging in Scotland and how we were connected. Well she delivered. When we left our cruise port the bagpipes we playing auld lang syne which was the last song played while on our tour. It was tearful to leave Scotland and that was our first time there. Well done Amy. Best tour guide!! sláinte is táinte

Absolutely the Best! - Absolutely the best - top notch! We would highly recommend this tour and this company. It was a wonderful day and our guide, Amy, was terrific. Don’t miss the falcons! Can’t wait to come back and do another adventure with this team.

Excellent ! - Die Tour mit Avril war ein absolutes Highlight ! Alle unsere Wünsche wurden erfüllt . Thank you Avril for that greatful day! It was a pleasure to be hosted by you.

Beautiful Scottish Highlands - A great way to see the countryside - we enjoyed the stop at Dunrobin Castle - the grounds were breathtaking, and the falcon show was a nice addition to the stop. Dornoch was a lovely small town. We had hoped to see some highland coos but did not see any so that was disappointing. We also enjoyed a stop at a whiskey distillery.
