Itinerário
Com torres com torres, interiores elegantes e jardins de conto de fadas, este atmosférico castelo escocês do século XIV mistura lenda, história e paisagem deslumbrante. Situado entre florestas antigas, é uma visita obrigatória para os hóspedes que exploram as Highlands escocesas. Na chegada, pegue uma Guia de áudio na sua escolha de idioma e passeio ao seu próprio ritmo. Dentro, passe por séculos de vida aristocrática - do grande Drawing Room com retratos renascentistas e enxurraduras ornamentadas ao Tapestry Bedroom com impressionantes colunas flamengas do século 17. Não perca o famoso Thorn Tree Room, onde uma árvore antiga sobe dramaticamente através dos pavimentos. Fora, desfrute de belos jardins: o floral formal, o jardim murado com plantas exóticas e caminhos sinuosos, e o jardim selvagem que leva a 750 acres de caminhadas florestais. Você tem cerca de 90 minutos para explorar, visitar o café e navegar pelas lojas de presentes. Os hóspedes WOW também podem pegar um almoço embalado. Entrada e Guia de áudio incluídos no preço do passeio.
Nossa primeira parada é em Culloden Battlefield, um dos campos de batalha mais importantes do Reino Unido. Aqui, seu Guia vai trazer a paisagem à vida em um passeio a pé de 30 minutos, enquanto ele o encantará com a história da última batalha em solo britânico; a revolta jacobita de 1746. Enquanto você está em pé sobre o lago, é fácil imaginar a coragem, o sacrifício e o coração partido que se desenrolaram aqui, com os ecos do passado persistindo na quietude. A beleza perseguidora da paisagem, combinada com sua história trágica, cria uma experiência profundamente comovente que ficará com você muito depois de você sair.
Clava Cairns é um cemitério bem preservado da Idade do Bronze, construído há cerca de 4.000 anos. Espalhados por todo o site, você encontrará uma série de estruturas fascinantes – túmulos de passagem, cairns de anel, cairn de cerco e pedras atmosféricas. Enquanto a história por si só faz desta uma parada cativante, também é um must-see para os fãs de Outlander. Diana Gabaldon descreveu Clava Cairns como “a casa espiritual de Craigh na Dun”, e muitos visitantes dizem que se sente como entrar diretamente no mundo de Claire e Jamie.
Nossa próxima parada é a bela Praia Dores, na tranquila costa sul do Lago Ness - lar de uma das vistas mais deslumbrantes de todo o Reino Unido! Dê um passeio ao longo da costa de pedras e absorva o panorama deslumbrante ou, se ele não estiver em uma missão de caça a Nessie, você pode até mesmo encontrar o caçador de monstros residente Steve Feltham, que está procurando o monstro do Lago Ness aqui há mais de 30 anos e vende algumas lembranças muito memoráveis. Há também um tradicional pub escocês na borda do lago, onde você pode desejar desfrutar de uma cerveja local ou um pouco de uísque (sujeito a horários de funcionamento).

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.
