This was the best tour we have ever been on! - Our tour guide George was awesome! So knowledgeable and really cared about giving us a wonderful experience. Our tour turned into a private tour as we were the only ones signed up and George created a new itinerary as we had already been to Loch Ness and a few other castles!

Great informative day - Alistair was a very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. There was no pressure for time, van was very comfortable and clean. Cawdor Castle and gardens were amazing. Culloden battlefield was an eye opener. Pick up was on time and easy.

Highly recommended tour around Inverness - Great way to see sights around Inverness and hear about history and culture. Fantastic guide/owner George of Go Highlands provided lots of color as we visited Clara Cairns, Culloden battlefield and Urquhart Castle on shores of Loch Ness

Great Tour! - We had a wonderful tour with Alastair! This tour provides a nice variety of sites and history in a short period of time, while still giving plenty of time to explore each spot on the tour. We especially enjoyed Scotland’s smallest gin distillery. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to explore the highlands and history around Inverness.
