Best tour so far! - We booked the tour with Nathaniel and his mum. We had an absolute blast walking around the town with them and learned a lot about the history of Fort William (and why Scottish pies are the absolute best food that contain everything you need!)

Personal tour, locals with a love of their towns history - Nathaniel and his mother gave us a friendly, informative tour of some lesser known sites and interesting facts about High Street places in Fort William. Relaxing and flexible personal walking tour, with a fund of knowledge interspersed with well delivered jokes from Nathaniel

A fantastic, highly informative and fun tour! - An excellent tour! We only had 24 hours in Fort William and Nathaniel (and his mum!) was able to give us so much information about the town and some great recommendations for what to do with the rest of the day. It was like being show around by friends, highly recommend!
