A great day in the Highlands with Andy - Our family of 5 had a great day with Andy. We were off a cruise ship which docked in Invergordon and Andy was there in a nice vehicle ready to meet us. It was a very busy day in most of the tour stopping points but Andy was determined for us to see as much as possible and worked in all of the highlights we had discussed in advance as well as a couple extra. He was also very flexible in working in an extra attraction for part of our group that didn't want to participate in the main tour that he ran in parallel. Overall we found Andy very pleasant and knowledgeable.

Amazing experience in Scotland - We booked this tour with Andrew back in January and he always responded to my emails very quickly and his service is top notch. He knows his history and he was very informative. We really enjoyed this tour and we highly recommend Andrew.

Excellent experience, highly recommended. - We arrived on a cruise ship and spent the day with Andy. He was easy to find as we left the cruise terminal. He had some sights in mind but was very flexible with the tour and ensured that we saw what was important to us. The activities and attractions were varied and he thought of everything. We started the day off with Highland cows and finished it up with a whiskey tasting at a distillery. In between, we walked along the shore of Loch Ness, explored old churches and battlefields and had a great lunch that was complete with haggis bon bons. Andy was very engaging and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to be back in the area in the future for another tour. I highly recommend this tour. It was well worth the money and he kept our family interested throughout.

Inverness Tour - Andy Mason, our tour guide from Highland Discovery Tours, did an outstanding job of giving our group of 6 adults a beautiful day in the Scottish Highlands. We stopped twice to see local highlights on our way to Urquhart Castle on Lochness. While it was a busy site we had plenty of time to enjoy the history of the castle & the beauty of the area.
