Perfect introduction to the city and its history - Our guide, Sue, was friendly and the perfect person to get us up to speed with local history. Felt I didn't need to read up on Nessie or Bonnie Price Charlie as we got an entertaining potted history on the way. I went off exploring on my own afterwards so it was a good way to get orientated. Good value and not too long. Would recommend!

Inverness city tour for History enthusiast - Christine was just amazing, we loved the whole tour and the specific historical details she mentioned in a very interesting way while taking us around Inverness. There was no way we could have found that set of information without she telling us.
