A great trip with incredible information. - What can we say? From beginning to end, we had a fantastic and extremely informative day. The weather wasn't too kind to us, but it didn't bother Avril.
Avril knows and is very proud of her home area and history. We listened and laughed along the way.
First to the lovely Cawdor Castle, which was very interesting. We were advised to have the cheese scones before the 'rest' arrived from the ship!!!
Culloden was next, and due to the heavy rain, we didn't attempt to walk around the battlefield. Instead, we spent some time in the excellent museum, which is Scottish National Trust.
The background history and timelines were so well done.
The enacted audio/visual was frighteningly sad. A few tears were shed at the end!

Worth the money - Fabulous tour! Gary is spectacular in his knowledge and humor. Glad our bus was small group. Even in the backseat I could hear him. He went above and beyond and did all the extras (stopped for a photo of the viaduct, let us stop here and there). Provided water (every tour on Viator said it comes with a bottle of water and he is the only person that ever actually brought water for us)

Great Day in Inverness - Perfect experience! Our guide Amy was so knowledgeable and fun. A terribly wet and rainy day, she rolled with the weather and made adjustments to the tour that were so much fun and kept us drier!! Music, food, history, beautiful scenery. TAKE THIS TOUR!!

Great personal tour - Avril picked us up directly at the cruise port. Since there were only two of us, we were able to adapt our tour at any time. Avril is a great tour guide and took a lot of time with us. It was a great tour that we would recommend at any time.

wonderful tour through the Highlands - From the pick-up to the implementation, everything was perfect, even if we unfortunately only understand a little English. It is definitely worth it. In Cawdor Castle there was an audio guide for the tour, otherwise you could also communicate via translator. Amy was our guide and organized everything well and told us a lot. We were only a small group of 8 guests. That was very pleasant.

Covers all of the bases and very nicely done! - James was a delightful guide and took very good care of our group. Some had disabilities bur he made sure everyone was looked after. We saw so many great sites! Truly a fun time. HOWEVER, you did not get five-stars because you had NO AUDIO SYSTEM IN THE VAN. The people in the row behind the driver maybe caught half of what he said and the people in the back heard nothing. You absolutely MUST have a working a clear audio system in your vehicles.
