Highly Recommend! - We had a fantastic experience with Iain and Lewis and can’t recommend them highly enough. Their bespoke tour was perfectly tailored to our needs, with a thoughtful itinerary that balanced stunning sights, engaging history, and enough flexibility to keep things relaxed and enjoyable. They were especially accommodating and understanding of the needs of our small neurodivergent children—patient, respectful, and proactive in creating a comfortable environment for everyone. The service was excellent throughout—friendly, informative, and genuinely welcoming. If you’re looking for a personalised and thoughtful way to explore the Highlands, this is the team to go with!

Look no further - Inverness & The Highlands - This tour was great. First of all, it was fully customizable. The Highland Tours Company worked with us to setup an itinerary that completely suited our wants. We got to see a little bit of everything (Clava Cairns, Culloden Battlefield, Cawdor castle etc.). The highlight for us was being on a boat on Loch Ness. It was an absolutely stunning day. The vistas were nothing short of spectacular. Our guide Lewis was a terrific guy and well versed in his country's history. He was very cognizant of the day's schedule and ensuring we got to see everything no matter how long it took. He made a lot of good suggestions about places to go, eat and see in the Inverness area. The service by this tour company was top notch. Would high recommend them.

Do yourself a favor and book now - Quite literally Highland Tour Co saved our vacation. My husband and I wrecked our rental car and our 11 day vacation was completely based on having transportation. Thankfully our hotel contacted Highland and at the last minute they were able to pick us up by noon for a half day tour. After just spending the afternoon with Lewis and Iain we decided to enlist their help another two days. Lewis and Iain are so warm and personable. You feel immediately comfortable and have trust in their knowledge. We'd already booked three additional private tours through our travel agent in other parts of Scotland and they didn't come close to being as much fun and informative as Highland. They are always attune to what they sense you might need or want to do. They don't just drive pointing out attractions in a dull monotone. They engage you in their enthusiasm for the sites and people. I just can't praise them enough. You will be doing yourself a huge favor utilizing their services.
