Great day in Scotland - Loved our trip with Ahmed. He took us to all the places we wanted to go. He was both knowledgeable and super friendly. We would hire him again for our trip to Scotland!

We enjoyed this... - We enjoyed this personalized tour. We went to the places we were interested in and did not have to deal with a large grouping. We visited many of the popular places and even a few unexpected sites around Inverness. Our guide, Keith, was personable, solicitous and knowledgeable about the history of the area. He went out of his way to make this tour a custom experience for us. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great for family travel - We had a great day with Basha. Perfect tour for a full day out and accommodating for children. We had plenty of opportunities to stop for photos, lunch, and to see all the sites.

Keith is the best! - Keithon had extensive knowledge about Inverness and it’s surrounding places. He was fun and even took us on a surprise venture. When there were hiccups due to road closure or other tours, he always knew the back way to get around things. 10/10 recommend.

Full Day Tour is a must to see this part of Scotland - I highly recommend this all day tour, especially if you can have Keithon (Keith) as your tour guide. We were a family of 8 and the mini van worked perfect for us. We loved getting to the Cawdor Castle before the official opening time and we felt we had a good feel for this area of Scotland and it's various highlights like the Culloden Battlefield because of the information Keith provided.

Great tour, great tour guide - Our guide, Keith, was fantastic. He tailored the trip to what we wanted to see, and knew what order to go in to get ahead of the crowds. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Inverness and the surrounding area. This was our first visit to Scotland and we can’t wait to come back.

Great Day in Inverness - Angel did an amazing job with our tour. We had a delightful day and he was even able to accommodate the fish and chips lunch which was fantastic, very fresh. Loved seeing the Hairy cows and they had a very nice gift shop with local items. We saw a lovely waterfall which was a little bit of a hike but even my sister with her cane made it. We wanted to do Culloden so we stayed here for awhile. We even saw the castle on Loch Ness and did a tasting room. What a wonderful day for our group, we would all highly recommend Angel for your tour guide.

Wonder trip by Highland Executive Travel - My son and I planned a trip of a lifetime to Scotland for Golf and Scotch. We worked with Keithon remotely to coordinate our Scotch tour. Keithon helped coordinated our trip from Inverness to St. Andrews. He booked our tour at Cardhu and then tastings at several distilleries in the Speyside area. He was flexible working with us to accommodate our needs for lunch and the tastings we wanted to attend.
I cannot recommend this company and in particular Keithon more highly.

Family Inverness adventure - Keith was wonderful! We (family of 7 adults) were there during the off season in November, so things opened a bit later; however, Keith made sure we got to see all of the sites. Our favorite part was the tour of the Singleton scotch distillery just outside of Inverness, which is about an hour and a half experience, but Keith was very flexible in our private tour so that we spent more time at the places we enjoyed the most. You get to see and tour quite a few other awesome things around Inverness, such as Urquhart Castle, Clava Cairns (from Outlander if you’re into that!), Beauly Priory (an old monk community), and Robertson farm (where the highland coos are!).
