This is a quick and informative way to get the lay of the land in Inverness. In an hour you get a sense for what is where, the ability to plot out your strategy for deep dives. The driver was very friendly and helpful. If you haven’t been to the city before, this is a must-do. Well worth the price.

We were able to get on the bus and had to sit up too because all of the seats downstairs were soaking wet. Because of the amount of people we sat in the open air portion where we were constantly getting hit by tree branches and rained on from the trees. Then we missed our stop for Inverness Castle because the stop was never announced. We then ended up getting off the bus at the cathedral and walked to the castle for our tour check in. We never returned to the bus deciding it was just better and easier to walk around then trying to figure out where stops are.

Pleasant enough. The info isn’t always in sync, so not easy to see what they’re talking about. Linda on board was very helpful. The bus stops by where the boat tour goes from. We didn’t feel like walking much so served its purpose. Sat downstairs and got good enough views.
The tour bus driver and helper were very nice and funny. However, the bus ride itself felt a bit boring.

Let's go back Scotland is really the most beautiful thing we have ever seen, we really liked it. The fields of different colors. The castle, the bridges Everything all veryyyy beautiful

Nos alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutaste de la ciudad y que te pareció un lugar tan especial, casi como de cuento antiguo. Inverness y toda Escocia son destinos realmente únicos, y nos encanta saber que te han transmitido esa belleza, desde los paisajes de distintos colores hasta los castillos, los puentes y el ambiente acogedor de su gente. ¡Nos alegra saber que queréis volver! Será un placer volver a acompañaros en vuestra próxima aventura con City Sightseeing. Un cordial saludo, Equipo City Sightseeing
It's a great trip round if you want to see around Inverness without walking too much. Goes passed the castle and towards the cruises. It's about a 50 min round trip. It does get extremely windy at some point especially at the top, so hold on to your hats and wrap up for that part.
