インヴァネス城、クラヴァ、カローデン戦場、ネス湖

Great tour and fun surprises along the way! It was narrated in such a way to bring you back to what it was like many, many years ago. Yet, you appreciate the current way of life, what has changed, and what has not with all areas visited.

We were able to take the tour in tandem with the other part of our family as we were a large group. Alastair and Sarah were wonderful. Both very knowledgeable and very friendly!

Alistair was a wonderful tour guide who provided so much historical and interesting information at each location we visited. We had a small group, which allowed for plenty of room in the van and lots of individual attention. We stopped for lunch at the castle and never felt rushed. Somehow we were together for seven hours, but the day flew by. Highly recommend.

Apparently the organization we originally booked with was unable to provide the tour so Avril's Travels stepped in to run our tour. The tour was absolutely fantastic. They met us at the port and took our small group to the minibus. Avril was very informative and entertaining. I'm amazed at how much was included and we were back at the port in plenty of time.

We had a great time! Our travel companions Laura and Dillion were great. Roger our guide was the absolute best!! We couldn't have asked for better. He made the entire experience fun. The time passed so quickly but was so fun and fact filled. Roger showed up exactly on time to begin I highly recommend!!

Our guide was engaging and very knowledgeable. Excellent tour! He paced the tour according to the group needs and kept our small group together even with the huge festival crowds in the town.

We had a great time, our driver/guide was the best. She was fun and informative. Would recommend to anyone visiting Scotland

Great weather and sights. Continual anti-English comments wore thin but otherwise a pleasant day with a knowledgeable guide with entertaining stories.

This tour covers a lot of sights and note that you will need pay for some entrances if you so desire. Also, if you are an Outlander fan, you will not cover the filming sights. However, this is an excellent tour putting you in that period of history. Sara our guide was extremely knowledgeable and was very good with the pacing of the tour. It ended on a great note, by Loch Ness with a "wee dram".

This was an absolutely fantastic day where we visited the Culloden Battlefield and Cawdrey Castle. Our tour guide Alistair was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us so many interesting facts. He carefully prepared us on our way to Culloden with the history surrounding the events leading up to the conflict so we could fully understand and visualise how the battle took place. He made sure we knew where he would meet us and was ready to take us on a walk around the battlefield where he pointed out important strategic manoeuvres by the English and the catastrophic failings of the clans which led to such tragic consequences. We then went to Cawdrey Castle where he left us to enjoy the audio commentary and met us afterwards in the Castle Cafeteria. His timings were meticulous which relieved any stress of having to find him. He was so considerate to his approach both with us and a few people who found him highly engaging along the tour. He dealt with us and other members of the public in a very kind and respectful way. He took us for a lovely walk around the gardens and had brought along umbrellas just in case the weather became inclement. Our final stop was at Loch Ness where he took us to a spectacular viewing point and explained all the information about the Loch and we ended up in an adorable bar which has a very comprehensive range of whiskey. I can honestly say that Alistair was the best tour guide we have ever had and his incredible attention to detail, kindness, detailed knowledge of area we visited was amazing. We loved the trip and thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. The highlight by far for me was when he took us to see the Clydesdale Horses and we got and fed them grass which they couldn’t reach from the side of the road. Another family stopped in a car and he took time to show the children who were timid of the huge animals how to feed them. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour and think it is exceptional value for money.
