The most AMAZING tour! - 10/10! 5 stars! We had an ‘Outlander tour’ with George and it was one of the most amazing experiences! George is so knowledgeable when it comes to Scottish history. We learned and saw SO much on this tour. If you are an Outlander fan, you HAVE to book an Outlander tour with George. I left the Highlands with so much insight and amazing memories after this tour.

Memorable Highlands Tour - We had such a memorable trip! Love the small group experience! Our guide, Alistair, was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. We enjoyed the trip immensely and learned much about the cairns and the battle at Culloden. Would definitely recommend Go Highlands tour company!

Amazing experience - If you are looking for a small-group guided tour of the Highlands, look no further. Alastair is an amazing tour guide. He is very knowledgeable, the van was spotless, and he is flexible. Since there were four of us traveling together, we were able to customize our tour. He found Highland Coos (cows) for us to feed since that was one of our bucket list items. We swapped out the gin distillery for a whiskey distillery. Highly, highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed.
