Itinerario
Con torres torrefactas, elegantes interiores y jardines de cuentos de hadas, este acogedor castillo escocés del siglo XIV combina leyenda, historia y paisajes impresionantes. Situado entre bosques antiguos, es una visita obligada para los huéspedes que exploran las tierras altas de Escocia. A su llegada, recoja una audioguía en su elección del idioma y visite a su propio ritmo. En el interior, pase por siglos de vida aristocrática, desde el gran salón con retratos renacentistas y yeserías ornamentadas hasta el dormitorio de tapices con llamativos tapices flamencos del siglo XVII. No te pierdas la famosa sala del árbol de espinas, donde un árbol antiguo se eleva dramáticamente a través de las tablas del piso. En el exterior, disfrute de hermosos jardines : el Jardín formal de las flores, el Jardín amurallado con plantas exóticas y senderos sinuosos, y el Jardín salvaje que conduce a 750 acres de paseos por el bosque. Tienes unos 90 minutos para explorar, visitar la cafetería y navegar por las tiendas de regalos. WOW también puede recoger un almuerzo para llevar. Entrada y audioguía incluidos en el precio del tour.
Nuestra primera parada es en Culloden Battlefield, uno de los campos de batalla más importantes del Reino Unido. Aquí, su guía dará vida al paisaje en un recorrido a pie de 30 minutos, mientras lo cautiva con la historia de la última batalla campal en suelo británico; el levantamiento jacobita de 1746. Mientras te paras sobre el páramo azotado por el viento, es fácil imaginar la valentía, el sacrificio y el desamor que se desarrollaron aquí, con ecos del pasado que persisten en la quietud. La belleza inquietante del paisaje, combinada con su trágica historia, crea una experiencia profundamente conmovedora que permanecerá con usted mucho después de que se vaya.
Clava Cairns es un cementerio de la Edad del Bronce notablemente bien conservado, construido hace unos 4.000 años. Dispersas por el sitio encontrarás una variedad de estructuras fascinantes: tumbas de paso, cairns de anillo, un cairn de bordillo y piedras atmosféricas. Si bien la historia por sí sola hace de esta una parada cautivadora, también es una visita obligada para los fanáticos de Outlander. Diana Gabaldon ha descrito Clava Cairns como el “hogar espiritual de Craigh na Dun”, y muchos visitantes dicen que se siente como entrar directamente en el mundo de Claire y Jamie.
Nuestra siguiente parada es la hermosa Dores Beach, en las tranquilas orillas sur del lago Ness, hogar de una de las vistas más impresionantes de todo el Reino Unido. Da un paseo por la orilla de guijarros y disfruta del impresionante panorama o, si no está en una misión de caza de Nessie, incluso podrías conocer al cazador de monstruos residente Steve Feltham, que ha estado buscando al monstruo del lago Ness aquí durante más de 30 años y vende algunos recuerdos muy memorables. También hay un pub tradicional escocés justo en el borde del lago, donde tal vez desee disfrutar de una cerveza local o un pequeño dram de whisky (sujeto al horario de apertura).

We had such an amazing day with Andrew our guide and the sights on our itinerary. Andrew, an amazing historian, taught us so much in a light hearted way.
We had a wonderful day exploring the Scottish Highlands on the Highland Highlights Tour from Invergordon with our driver and guide, Colin. There was only one other couple on our tour, which made for a very comfortable and personal experience. Our first stop was **Cawdor Castle**, where we enjoyed walking through the beautiful rooms and exploring the lovely gardens. From there, we visited Clava Cairns, with its fascinating 4,000-year-old Bronze Age burial cairns and standing stones. We also stopped at **Culloden Battlefield**, where Colin shared a great deal of information about the Jacobites and the history surrounding the battle. He was clearly very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Scottish history and provided a very detailed explanation for those interested in learning more. Unfortunately, it began to rain while we were there, so we took the opportunity to warm up with a cup of coffee. My favorite stop of the day was Dores Beach on Loch Ness. Sadly, Nessie did not make an appearance, but the spectacular scenery and wildlife more than made up for it. This was exactly the type of beautiful Scottish landscape I had hoped to see. Our final stop was **Inverness**, where we had a short amount of time to walk around and see the town before beginning the trip back to our cruise ship. The entire tour lasted about seven hours and allowed us to see a tremendous amount of the countryside in a single day. Colin was knowledgeable and informative, and the small group made the experience especially enjoyable. Overall, this was a great day in the Scottish Highlands—even the Scottish rain added to the experience!
Ross MacArthur is fantasic! An unmatched authentic, courteous, professional guide/driver combo. He customized our tour, accommodated our requests, and answered our unending questions. Sooo highly recommend!
We had a great tour with Murdoch AKA Mr Fabulous. The sights were amazing and the story telling even better. I'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Invergordon.
Colin was a great tour guide. We did the tour from the cruise terminal at Invergordon and had a great tour of the local area. Would definit
Our guide, Murdoch, was great. Very knowledgeable & a great story teller. We got to visit all the places on the itinerary & it didn't feel too rushed although a little more time at each place would have been great, we were constrained by the early sailing time of our cruise ship. The pick up point was easy to find at Invergordon - just follow the signs for non-cruise ship tours & cross the road & they were waiting with signs & WOW t-shirts. The trip was good value as it included entry to Cawdor Castle in the price
Colin, our guide, and the staff of WOW made our visit to Inverness and Scotland very special. It was beautiful and Colin shared the historical aspects of each stop. He also accommodated us so we could visit Inverness. It was a great day.
Yes, this is a shore excursion that delivered what was promised in the itinerary. I was annoyed by the fact that the meetup point provided by Get your guide was wrong. Ended up having to walk back to the port area and asked several people until I saw a staff wearing the company's vest. If I had waited at the wrong location provided, I'd have had missed the tour entirely. I told the staff and also the guide later on about the issue, and as I'm writing this review, it is still wrong. The company also nickel and dime you on their seating arrangement, you need to pay from 7.50 pounds to 20 pounds extra to get a 2nd row or extra legroom or front row seat. Honestly, I didn't realize that I was going on a budget airline. This was the first time I had pre-assigned seating on a day tour and not on first-come-first-serve. The seat pitch also seemed narrower than a typical family mini-van, seat was stiff with not much legroom. Not a very comfortable coach overall especially if seated on the last row seat like me.
Fantastic experience with the guide and driver Colin. He managed the excursion very well. He provided information and news in an engaging and passionate manner. Excursion to take and ask for Colin.
Colin was fantastic! This was a great trip from start to finish. Very comfortable coach. Perfect timing. Lots of great information. Happily the rain held off for the entire trip.
