This was our second visit to Inverness and our second time taking this tour. We loved it! Great narration along the way. Very informative. Highly recommend!
Excellent trip… well worth doing.
Good experience. Bus pick up location was moved but the bus driver walked around to notify people. Nice boat ride and beautiful weather at the castle
Loved the boat tour and our guide had wonderful knowledge about the sites and great stories. The castle itself is stunningly beautiful and the explanations of what you’re looking at are great.
Being out on the Loch Ness was a beautiful, relaxing way to start the day. Then, docking beside the castle ruins made for beautiful pictures. The castle took me back in time.
We got sunshine! Very good coach driver - informative and witty. Boat trip well worth it for the views. Good on- board guide. Recommended.
Hi there, Thanks so much for your review! We are so pleased you had an enjoyable time on our cruise and we hope to welcome you on board with us again soon! Kind regards, The Jacobite Team
Spectacular landscapes, everything meticulously cared for, the transept proves to be very relaxing and allows one to appreciate everything calmly. Beautiful experience.
Hi there, Thanks so much for your kind review! We're so pleased to hear that you found the cruise relaxing and enjoyed the scenery. We hope to see you again soon! Kind regards, Team Jacobite
The tour overall was great. It did lack a consistent guide throughout… Also, our touring bus had an air conditioning problem and it felt very uncomfortable.
Wonderful tour led by guides who love the Highlands and its history. Loch Ness is magical, the castle ruins fascinating, and we stopped to see some coos on the ride home. Perfect trip!
Brilliant choice. One of the few that wasn't in the morning.... Nice surprise with delightful guide/driver and stop to see hairy coos. Combo of boat ride and castle visit is the best. Can't remember guide's name but it was 6/22 afternoon tour. We HAD to tip him
