We were fortunate enough to book a Highlands Tour (Going South) with Avrils Tours from the Port of Invergordon If you are looking for an authentic tour covering Cawdor Castle, Clara Cairns Culloden Battlefield, Loch Ness and a visit with Highland Cows we would thoroughly recommend Avril. This tour was 8.30 to 3.30. Avril gets you ahead of the crowds, she is a great minivan driver and a fabulous tour guide. You will not be disappointed Www.avrilstravels.co.uk
I really enjoyed this tour. The guide was knowledgeable and was attentive to our needs, as my wife used a walker.
This tour was great!! Small group and great guide! We got to the castle early before they opened and because the guide does this all the time, we were able to get in to see the grounds before they opened and then were the first in. It was amazing!
Highly Recommend Avril’s Travel‼️Scotland... you've stolen a little piece of our hearts! 💚 14th July 2026
Great day. Great guide. Worth the money.
It was perfect for our Cruise stop in Invergordon.
Lorraine, our guide, was immensely knowledgeable. Her humor, and storytelling ability made the distance between our stops interesting and prepared us for what we were about to see. Would highly recommend!
This was such a great tour especially because of our guide Lorraine who with her humor, knowledge, and enthusiasm made it the perfect day. We had enough time at each site to both enjoy and take pictures and not feel rushed…. And if you happen to be an Outlander fan Lorraine has all the scoop😊.
Lorraine was terrific. Tour was outstanding she went above and beyond to give us a great tour. Highly recommend.
We had a great time. The travel team is really good at communicating and making sure we are not missing the tour or missing the cruise ship. They are very professional and provided lots of Scotland's history and culture. I would highly recommend this.
