Exceptional Day in the Highlands - Karen exhibited extraordinary knowledge regarding history, culture, and fauna of the area and sites we visited. She has a wonderful sense of humor but is a professional in every way. She delivered us safely to each location. She gave us wonderful recommendations for dinning and music.

A Typical Karen - The locations were beautiful. History was great but the driver was a little off, rushed people around, rude to staff at locations, dismissive and abrupt. It's a real shame as it could have been a wonderful day

Be On Time Or Be Out Your Money - If you cannot guarantee that you can arrive at the departure meeting point at the required timeframe then DO NOT BOOK THIS EXCURSION. While we were aware of their strict departure time at time of booking it wasn’t until the morning of the tour that we were advised of how far away from the cruise port the meeting place was. If you are arriving in Inverness on a cruise ship, please be advised that the meeting place is 23 miles away from there and taxis were not immediately available at the port. . Our ship docked at 7AM and we were unable to get off the ship in time to get a taxi and be at the appointed meeting place by the required timeframe. As a result we were unable to go on this excursion and the tour operators refused to give us a refund, despite the fact that our inability to arrive on time was outside of our control Please know that I have done a fair number of excursions through Viator bookings and have never had a problem until this excursion. I do not recommend the tour operator of this excursion unless you are certain you can meet their strict departure time. Also Viator was absolutely no help in my request for refund consideration. They blame it on the tour operator and despite their saying it could take a few days to get a response from the tour operator approving or denying a refund, it was only moments after ending my phone call with them that I received an email denying the refund. A second call yielded a similar response. Frankly I belief that neither Viator nor the tour operator care as they each have their share of the money and the customer is SOL
