Dale was amazing from picking us up from the cruise port to the ease of booking a private tour to our mother’s family Clan Museum (Gunn Clan). Then we went to La Mirage for lunch what a treat the fish and chips were the best. Large piece of fish, pint of beer and chunky fries, delicious. After we visited the Dunrobin Castle and lastly stopped in a little town to get souvenirs and finally back to the ship. It was a full 8 hour day and our mother couldn’t be happier. Dale really knows how to keep his group interested and his wit makes time fly, I would have zero issues booking with him again!!
We rang Craig to discuss options for our tour and were very impressed with how helpful he was. He clearly wanted to make sure that we had the best experience possible. The minivan was luxurious and comfortable and Craig was an excellent driver. The route took us along smaller roads and through stunning scenery. Amongst the things we were able to do were a salmon leap at a spectacular waterfall, feeding highland cattle, enjoy the ‘Million Dollar View’ and visit Dunrobin Castle where we saw a falconry display. Along the way Craig talked out many points of interest. He was charming and cheerful and we very much enjoyed his sense of humour.
Fantastic 4 hour trip whilst our cruise ship was in Invergordon for the day. Craig met us promptly at the pier and drove 4 of us around in a very comfortable 6 seater car. Plenty of space and leg room. We looked over an amazing view (in fact the views were great all through), visited a local croft to meet the locals (human and Highland cattle) , saw a salmon leap up a waterfall and ended at Dunrobin Castle with a nosey round the inside and gardens and a falconry display. It was super and we would recommend this to anyone.
Our tour was led by Craig, whose extensive knowledge and local background made our day truly exceptional. What stood out most was his willingness to customize the itinerary to match our interests and preferences. We began with a visit to the Falls of Shin, followed by a quick stop at the Million Dollar View before continuing on to Dunrobin Castle. There, we had plenty of time to tour the castle, stroll through the magnificent gardens, and enjoy an impressive demonstration featuring birds of prey, including hawks and falcons. We then traveled to Royal Dornoch Golf Club and had lunch in the charming town of Dornoch. After lunch, we enjoyed a dram at both Balblair Distillery and Glenmorangie Distillery. With just enough time remaining, we visited Tain and explored the Viking graves at St Duthus Collegiate Church before returning to our ship right on schedule. If you are considering a tour with Craig, expect a wonderful day filled with history, scenery, local culture, and personalized service. Highly recommended!
We had the most wonderful day with Craig. He picked us up from the port in Invergordon and showed us so many fantastic sides including waterfalls, castles, little beautiful villages, whisky distillery’s and much more. He is full of so much knowledge and it’s been a real pleasure. We would always book again and can really recommend Craig 😊
Our tour guide Bob M, was wonderful! He had a great sense of humor and was a perfect fit for us. Bob was knowledgeable, funny and easy going. We visited Culloden Battlefield, Clava Cairns, Loch Ness, city center and saw the Heiland Coos, (Bob even brought carrots so the cows we come close for a snack!). It was a great day. Thanks so much!!
Colin was a knowledgeable guide who customized our excursion to meet the needs of an older couple with back problems. However, we did not miss a thing! The harder sites to visit we saw and the others we visited. Thank you, Colin for helping me research my family at Culloden and for introducing us to single malt whiskey at a distillery. Who knew we would like it enough to buy 3 bottles. We look forward to returning to see more of the Highlands with you.
Fabulous tour with Craig. He picked us up at the port when our ship docked at 8 am. He tailored the tour to us and we loved it. Our group was everything from children to someone with mobility issues. Craig was amazing with everyone. I highly recommend him!!!
Best tour ever! Craig was the best and most informative tour professional! He took us on an amazing Outlander journey and showed us the beautiful countryside and we even searched for Nessie! We also stopped at the Singleton Distillery for a wee dram of whiskey! Definitely book this trip with Craig if you are wanting genuine Scottish Highland adventure!
