10/5 Stars - If I could give this tour more stars I would. We had an absolute blast and Alastair was an amazing guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about the sites we visited and the surrounding area to give us great recommendations tailored to our interests/needs. Not a cookie cutter tour on a jam packed bus where a guide goes on a script. It’s amazing to have a small group and get the feeling you were valued as an individual rather than another seat to fill on a tour. Would absolutely book with them again next time we visit Scotland!

Highly recommend it! - Our guide Alistair was excellent and taught us a lot about the history of Scotland in a fun and easy-to-understand way! Additionally, the fact that the tour is conducted in groups of up to 7 people makes the atmosphere much more personal and friendly. I highly recommend it!

First visit - This was one of the very best tours that we have ever experienced. Our driver and tour guide was George, who I understand is one of the owners. He was born and raised outside Inverness-shared with us a most insightful perspective as to the area, its history and its people. We were the on,y four in his van and had dialogue the entire time. Since the day was quite cold and windy, he suggested substituting Cawdor Castle for Urquhart Castle, which was only an outdoor ruin. I have been fortunate over the years to take many guided tours-this is in the top 5 if not #1!

Marvelous experience - I am at a loss for words to describe how wonderful this tour was, because of George, our tour guide. He was with "Go Highlands" and grew up in the Highlands where we were touring. In my seven decades I have been fortunate enough to travel many places in the world and experience many tours. This was the best ever for me. Again, primarily due to our guide.
