Ryan was our favorite...
Ryan was our favorite tour guide of the trip - very personable and engaging with the group. There is definitely some walking involved getting to the falls and at the castle. There are options to do less of it for those who can't or don't want to do all of the hiking. It was a very pleasant day and I recommend this tour.

We enjoyed this...
We enjoyed this personalized tour. We went to the places we were interested in and did not have to deal with a large grouping. We visited many of the popular places and even a few unexpected sites around Inverness. Our guide, Keith, was personable, solicitous and knowledgeable about the history of the area. He went out of his way to make this tour a custom experience for us. I would highly recommend this tour.

Keith is the best!
Keithon had extensive knowledge about Inverness and it’s surrounding places. He was fun and even took us on a surprise venture. When there were hiccups due to road closure or other tours, he always knew the back way to get around things. 10/10 recommend.

Thank you for the review , best off luck

Full Day Tour is a must to see this part of Scotland
I highly recommend this all day tour, especially if you can have Keithon (Keith) as your tour guide. We were a family of 8 and the mini van worked perfect for us. We loved getting to the Cawdor Castle before the official opening time and we felt we had a good feel for this area of Scotland and it's various highlights like the Culloden Battlefield because of the information Keith provided.
Operator response
thank you so much for being the perfect group.

Great Day in Inverness
Angel did an amazing job with our tour. We had a delightful day and he was even able to accommodate the fish and chips lunch which was fantastic, very fresh. Loved seeing the Hairy cows and they had a very nice gift shop with local items. We saw a lovely waterfall which was a little bit of a hike but even my sister with her cane made it. We wanted to do Culloden so we stayed here for awhile. We even saw the castle on Loch Ness and did a tasting room. What a wonderful day for our group, we would all highly recommend Angel for your tour guide.
Operator response
thank you so much for your honest review , we have forward your review on to him as am sure he would be pleased ,knowing he was apart off what was an amazing day. many thanks

Wonder trip by Highland Executive Travel
My son and I planned a trip of a lifetime to Scotland for Golf and Scotch. We worked with Keithon remotely to coordinate our Scotch tour. Keithon helped coordinated our trip from Inverness to St. Andrews. He booked our tour at Cardhu and then tastings at several distilleries in the Speyside area. He was flexible working with us to accommodate our needs for lunch and the tastings we wanted to attend.
I cannot recommend this company and in particular Keithon more highly.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your review , it was a pleasure meeting you both .
