What an incredible day. Colin was an excellent tour guide — informative, kind, flexible, and fun. He was accommodating to our needs and engaging for our multigenerational group, and the stops on the tour were interesting and well-done. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Inverness!
My friend and I had a wonderful time touring with Collin. He was engaging, knowledgeable, and just a really nice guy! We did an all-day tour to the Isle of Skye, and our half day tour was Culloden. Wonderful memories.
Highland Clan Tours was amazing! Colin was organized, knowledgeable and really made our day long adventure special and unique to our requests. We highly recommend!
We took a day tour to visit Isle of Skye with Highland Clan Tours. Colin is a local and picked us up at our vacation rental dressed up with his Kilt suit, we loved it!! We got to stop along the way to visit Loch Ness and Eilean Donan Castle. Colin was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed hearing the historical facts & stories he shared with us. The drive around Isle of Skye was so beautiful and we had a lovely lunch near a lake. Colin was flexible and took us to visit a Distillery in the Isle of Skye to try some Scotch. We really enjoyed our day tour very much and highly recommend taking a tour with Colin! Del and family
Colin and Jessica with Highlandclantours are amazing! We wanted to see the Glenfinnan Viaduct/Jacobite Train (AKA Hogwarts Express) and reached out to highlandclantours to make this happen. Colin took us to all the places we definitely wanted to see while in the Inverness area and created a absolutely perfect tour! We saw Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, Glencoe, Ft. William, Glenfinnan Viaduct/Jacobite Train, Clava Cairns and we got to stop and feed the Highland Coos! Colin shared with us so much interesting history about Scotland and his calm presence throughout the tour was so relaxing as we experienced the beautifully calming Highlands. Colin truly made us feel like we were part of his clan for the day! He also has incredible taste in music and his Spotify playlist was top notch! Jessica was a wealth of information leading up to our tour. She provided hotel recommendations and guided us through the train process advising us which website to use for our tickets to Edinburgh.
Our group of seven from California toured with Colin of Highland Clan Tours on three different days/itineraries. Several of us are Outlander fans so one day was spent touring relevant sites. We also toured whisky distilleries and castles. Colin was prompt, flexible and very knowledgeable. We had a great time and would book again with Highland Clan Tours. Can’t recommend them highly enough!
Our group of seven had a very fun three days of touring with Colin Stevenson of highlandclantours while in Inverness. Day 1: whisky tasting at Tomatin, Cairn and Cragganmore; Day 2: visiting Outlander-related sites and buildings; and Day 3: touring 3 castles—Urquhart, Cawdor, and Dunrobin. Colin is a walking (and driving) encyclopedia of Scottish history and lore, from the Picts to the present! Picked us up promptly and offered options for destinations and lunch. We highly recommend kilt-wearing Colin and his company!
The whole day was exceptional, and Colin was super friendly and professional and tailored the tour for our group, which makes this service unique. During the tour he shared his expert local knowledge, and we learned so much, both young and old alike. The tour was paced perfectly, and allowed for plenty of photo opportunities. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience and would highly recommend if visiting the beautiful Highlands of Scotland.
We booked a private with Colin and had 2 days with whisky tasting and sight seeing. It couldn't have been better! Colin is personable and so knowledgeable of Scottish history and culture. He used his connections to get us access to places and tours we couldn't have gotten on our own. It was a spectacular tour Colin customized to our personal preferences. Highly recommended.
