Awesome experience!! - Awesome tour with Aleistar. What a great person to have give you a tour. He was polite, very personable, and overall gave a delightful experience. Of course, the places and the scenery that he took us were wonderful. However, I believe it was him that made the experience extra special.

Incredible Day with George Exploring the Highlands. - What a fantastic day with George! We were lucky enough that our family of 3 got George all to ourselves. He engaged all of us with his immense knowledge of the history of the Highlands from long ago to the current day. Clava Cairns came to life with his stories - we were all attentively hanging on his every word. He then took us to the grounds of the Battle of Culloden and again wove in stories that made this horrific event sink into our bones. His suggestion of Cawdor Castle was magical, and the beauty was just what we needed. Our last stop was the beach at Loch Ness, where he had us drink the water!! This tour was a highlight of our trip, and we left Inverness excited to hear more from George on our next visit. Thank you so much for an eye-opening day of history and so much laughter.

Jacobites! - If you want to learn about Scottish history and the Jacobites, this tour is for you! You will also see many of the sites where Outlander is filmed. Alastair was very knowledgeable and accommodating! Great tour!

Perfect Day! - What a perfect day in Scotland! The tour was beyond our expectations. The sights and history were incredible but what made our day perfect was our tour guide Trevor! By the end of the day we felt like we had met up with an old friend who shared the history and beauty of his homeland. Highly recommend this experience!

The Best Day in Inverness - We had an exceptional tour! Alistair was a top-notch guide! From pick up to drop off, our tour guide was gracious and so very knowledgeable about the area, history, and the sites we visited. I’d say if you have limited time to visit historic sites in this part of Scotland, don’t miss this tour!

End with a Gin! - Alistair was best guide ever! Total of 4 of us on the tour and he asked/substituted/added Gin tasting, Cawdor Castle and lots of info. Go Travel is his company. Search him!

Inverness - This was by far the worst tour ever. I guess because it was sprinkling George the tour guide didn’t want to do part of the tour. Said who wants to see ruins anyway. They should take it off as an option if George doesn’t want to take you there and says it not worth it. Totally disappointed. Won’t be returning to Inverness. George ruined it and left a bad impression, sadly.
