Fantastic tour! - George put his all into showing me and a couple of friends the sights in Inverness. He knows his stuff and can articulate it in a clear and engaging manner. He was fun and went all out for us. I highly recommend using Go Highlands for your next tour of Scotland.

Best ever tour guide - George was fabulous! So much history and insight to where we were. He brought history alive and we were immersed in each area. A local highlander, he knew it all and gave us the current and historic perspective. And what a conscientious tour guide. He found us coming out of the castle on the way to the gardens and brought us our umbrellas when a beautiful day turned rainy for a bit. The three sites were can’t miss areas, but George brought it alive like I suspect no one else could. Don’t miss this one!

Don’t look any further!! Only book with Go Highlands!! - We had an absolutely exceptional experience with our Go Highlands Guide, George. From start to finish, George’s immense knowledge of Scottish history, landscapes, and hidden gems made the trip truly unforgettable. His warm and outgoing personality made us feel completely at ease, and his passion for Scotland shone through every story and recommendation. He was professional, humorous, and attentive, with superb driving skills on Scotland’s challenging roads. George’s detailed planning and storytelling made our Highlands tour both relaxing and fascinating. If you want a truly immersive and enjoyable Scotland experience, booking with Go Highlands will be a decision you won’t regret!

Awesome Tour! - Go Highlands provided a wonderful tour! Sarah was our guide. She is so knowledgeable about the area. She made sure we had ample time to explore the sites. She even took us to sites that were not on the itinerary. We even saw Highland cows up close!!! She was such a delight to be with all day. If we were to return to Scotland, we would definitely request Sarah to take us on more tours. Thank you, Sarah for an awesome day!
