Enjoy an engaging private tour led by a local boy, along with his family members, especially his mother. Having collected a wealth of knowledge about the local vicinity, my learning and understanding increase by the day. The tour is conducted by a 12-year-old, supported by his mother.
Our tour offers a fresh, youthful viewpoint on the history of Fort William town. Guiding you through the entirety of High Street, I will narrate a couple of intriguing stories about the town’s previous happenings and its current liveliness. We halt at numerous significant buildings and monuments, where I have lesser-known tales to tell!
Fort William has been a pioneer in its time, and it is home to various artifacts that are only visible in two or three locations across Britain! We are eager to let you in on these hidden treasures.

Amazing tour experience with a charming young guide! - I run tours on the Isle of Skye and when I visited Fort William with a group of American tourists I wanted them to experience Fort William with a local guide. Nathaniel and his mum took them all around Fort William and they were absolutely raving about what a wonderful tour they had with him! Great stories, jokes, local knowledge and he was very charming. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Experience! - My husband and I had a wonderful time seeing Fort William with Nathaniel and his mother. We did not know what to expect, but it was perhaps the best part of our trip! They showed us some hidden history, with great personal touches (and fantastic humor/jokes from Nathaniel). I would certainly recommend if you are in the area!
