We chose the Go North tour from Inverness. Avril is a wonderful story teller and knows all the people and places that make a tour amazing. We appreciated her depth of knowledge and felt privileged to be be with her.
Thank you so much for this lovely review, and very glad you enjoyed your time with me. x
We took the Go North from Invergordon tour and had an absolutely fabulous tour.. Avril is articulate, knowledgeable, well prepared, and an excellent driver. Her vehicle is comfortable and clean.
We came to Invergordon on a cruise ship and did the south tour with Avril’s Travels. Lorraine was our guide and she was a lot of fun and very funny. She was a great guide and we enjoyed our tour very much. Highly recommend.
Extremely knowledgeable and took us to every site to be seen. Comfortable in 16 pax van. Stories both old and new. Sense of humor was a plus. Lorraine, thank you.
A highly recommended day, informatively nice relaxed and punctual! Definitely recommended.We were only three, drove with Avril's private car. It was entirely taken into account our wishes.
Everyone wants their time to be spent in the nicest way possible. To see, to experience and to learn all the magic that Scotland holds. Avril will be that person you remember, she’ll be what promotes a smile and a warm feeling of appreciation.. And you’ll laugh. Smart, informative, caring. It’s was Father’s Day weekend and she gave her time in presenting my husband with a basket of goodies she personally selected for our daughter in the states. Her price was incredibly reasonable and every review will state the same. Enjoy your time, God bless, you are in for a treat!
Lorraine was an excellent tour guide. Full of local knowledge and fun stories and a generally lovely person. She was happy to adapt our tour as we went along to satisfy all of our group. The weather was kind to us which always helps and we all had a great time. Early entry to Cawdor castle was a bonus.
Great tour and experience! Our tour guide Gary was funny and engaging, and regaled us with lots of interesting information and stories. He gave us ample time to see and enjoy each of the stops, and even a taste of whiskey during our stop at Loch Ness. Speaking of which, Loch Ness - although a beautiful lake - was not very interesting outside of the monster legend. We're glad we didn't spend very much time there, and instead spent more time at places such as the Culloden Battlefield, Clava Cairns, and Cawdor Castle (where we could have even spent more time exploring the gardens and grounds). Very enjoyable day tour, thank you!
The tour was excellent. Avril has a large knowledge of the area and shared many interesting pieces of history both past and present. She was an absolute joy to spend the day with. She answered all my questions quickly prior to the trip. Although I did not get the tour I really wanted due to being sold out(my fault for booking too late) She watched for any cancelations up to the day of the tour to switch me if space opened up. She also directed me the best hot chocolate I have ever had. I would tour with her again and again. She was very easy to find in the port when disembarking the ship - she was right where she said she would be.
Thank you so much for this lovely review! We love showing everyone our beautiful lands..... and yes the Chocolate shop is NOT to be missed in Dornoch x
A great trip. The van very comfortable. Great history and local information. Loved only 14 others in van. They got us to cawdor Castle before the crowds. Went to clava cairns, lochness to name a few. Provided water
Thank you for taking the time to review, glad you had a great day. Thank you for choosing us to show you our beautiful lands x
