Great time! - Very personal with such a small group. There were only 4 of us total so it made things run so smoothly! Alastair was absolutely wonderful. Provided so much good information and was just a pleasure to be around all day. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trip from Inverness to take this one!

Highly recommend this tour! - We had an awesome time with George. Our visit was well planned out and well organized. George was prompt in picking us up. We visited Clava Cairns where George explained the site in detail and added some ghost stories. He also told us about “Outlander” and its connection to the area. We visited the Culloden Battlefield and prior to arriving, George made sure that we understood the cultural significance of the battle and its place in history. We also visited Urquhart Castle. George added a lot to the information that was available onsite. All in all, we found our guide to be knowledgeable, funny, caring and helpful. He answered our endless questions with patience and knowledge.

Great experience and an amazing guide - Our guide George was delightful. Funny, very knowledgeable and easy going. He went out of his way to explain us everything at these important historic sights. Additionally, he created a tour that adapted to our family needs and took us to the Loch Ness Centre, where our toddler had a blast. I recommend him and Go Highlands tours and will surely keep him in mind for future visits.

10/5 Stars - If I could give this tour more stars I would. We had an absolute blast and Alastair was an amazing guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about the sites we visited and the surrounding area to give us great recommendations tailored to our interests/needs. Not a cookie cutter tour on a jam packed bus where a guide goes on a script. It’s amazing to have a small group and get the feeling you were valued as an individual rather than another seat to fill on a tour. Would absolutely book with them again next time we visit Scotland!
