Must do in Inverness - Great walk with Steven! Although the weather wasn’t really nice on us, I had a good time doing this walking tour. Steven is very charismatic and funny, made us all feel welcome. Surely recommend to everyone who’s visiting Inverness.

Must do if you are in Inverness for a day (or more). - Wonderful tour with a fun, informative, well-knowledged guide. I learned so much about the things I walk past everyday and have such a greater appreciation for Inverness after this walk. Definitely worth the time and cost.
