This tour was a great way...

This tour was a great way to see parts of Scotland in a customizable way, without worry about driving or needing to plan much. We appreciated the coordination of tickets and activities before the tour and even day of when we wanted to pivot, with suggestions for us to chose from. The chocolate and whisky pairings were a lovely bonus. Our guide, Peter, was super friendly and knowledgeable and made the day unforgettable.

Our day with Gavin was one of our Scotland highlights! The tour itself was fantastic, but Gavin’s knowledge of Scottish history and his passion for his country + culture, took it all to the next level. Thank you so much, Gavin!

Excellent Service!

Liam is an incredibly friendly & personable tour guide with seemingly endless knowledge of the local area and whisky! We had a fantastic time on the tour and would certainly use the service again if we come back to the area.

This is a very professional, client-focused business. Advance communication was very helpful. Our driver/tour guide, Liam, was delightful, knowledgeable and entertaining. He didn’t rush us, but we still got to see everything we wanted to see. Loved the comfortable BMW! I will definitely book them again and will tell my friends to book them.

Exceeded our expectations!

I cannot say enough good things about our tour with our amazing guide, Liam! Our family had a wonderful day touring Inverness and the surrounding area. Liam was prompt, so very kind, knowledgable and engaging. We were traveling with our 2 boys, 9 & 13, and they have not stopped talking about how much fun they had and how much they loved our guide. We saw all the things scheduled on the tour and still found time to feed some Highland Cows which was at the top of my kids' wish list. It was a perfect day!
