It was a wonderful experience, our guide Tobias was wonderful, very knowledgeable and super flexible, totally ensured we were on time back at the cruise port.
We had a great time with Aleman. He did an excellent job communicating with us ahead of the tour and we were easily able to find him after exiting the cruise ship. He was able to take us to all of the sights we wanted to see and got us back to our ship with plenty of time before the ship was scheduled to depart. We were surprised how much we enjoyed Cawdor Castle; we knew nothing about it prior to going. He recommended an excellent pub for lunch which had our favorite blackberry cider on tap that we can’t get in the US. With six of us, his tour was more economical and took us to more locations than the excursion through the ship.

Aleman did an excellent job guiding us through Inverness’s main attractions. We had the chance to visit Urquhart Castle and also went to the Culloden Battlefield, among other sights. If you’re short on time to explore the city or you just want a private experience, I think this is a great option, since the tour is highly customized to what you want to see and to the group’s specific interests and preferences. Overall, 100% recommended, and we would definitely take another tour with him or with Friendly Highland Tours.
Very friendly and helpful. Lots of information about the areas we visited.

We traveled from Germany to Scotland on an AIDA cruise and had a perfect day with Aleman! Communication beforehand was flawless, and the tour was tailored to our wishes. During the tour itself, it felt like we were out with a friend. Aleman was great fun and brought the region to life with a wide variety of stories. Highly recommended! It was an awesome day.
Aleman was the best guide. We saw and learned so much about the country. We already plan to visit Scotland again and spend more time. We will use Friendly Highland Tours. We took the Private South Tour. Look forward to meeting up with Aleman again. Thank you for a great tour.
