Excellent way to see the highlands on YOUR terms!! - We booked this tour in order to have a flexible and smooth experience seeing the highlands for the first time! The car was spacious, the itinerary was incredible with ability to tailor throughout the day based on personal preferences, and our guide was kind and knowledgeable! We saw so much in one day and got to spend time based on our enjoyment rather than a script schedule!! Would definitely do it again!

An excellent tour by a local guide - Ryan Forbes, our guide and the company owner gave us an amazing tour of the countryside around Inverness. He picked us up promptly at 8am and spent 10 hours showing us his Highlands--as he is a local. He customized the tour for us as we visited sites and we both got to know each other better, and took us to some places few tourist see. He also was attuned to the tour bus crowds and helped us stay ahead or miss the crowds in some of the popular spots. I cannot recommend Ryan enough and hope to come back the area and see more with his guidance in the future.

Tailored tour great guide - Truly one of a kind. The best part of the tour was our tour guide, Michael! He took time to talk to each of us in the family and adapted the tour for our particular interests. Taking us to places not on the original tour, and even made calls to other places to make the experience so memorable. The patience, kindness and knowledge he shared with our family was priceless! Thank you for the best tour of Inverness!

Easy-Peasy Travel - We travelled to Skye from Inverness and back. This company made the journey so easy! We loaded 7 adults and 2 small children into 2 comfortable vans for the 3 hr trip to Skye for a wedding. The vans were roomy and comfortable and the drivers knowledgeable and friendly. My husband and I also hired our driver, Ryan, for a private tour of Inverness before we needed to get to the airport. We saw many out-of-the-way sites - Beauly Castle, Culloden battlefield, Clava Cairns, and Ft. George. A highlight was a chance to see Simon Fraser, The Old Fox's, grave. The coffin was recently examined and it was discovered that the body inside was not that of Simon Fraser but of a woman. Simon Fraser was the last lord to be beheaded following the Jacobite Rising of 1745/46. (For Outlander fans - he was Jaime's grandfather). We had a lively discussion about whiskey and how it differs from American whiskey. (Barley vs corn). It was so nice to let someone else do the driving rather than try to navigate narrow roads, pouring rain, and driving on the "wrong" side of the road. The trip was pricey but worth every penny! We arrived on Skye on-time and un-stressed. The return trip was the same - though they took a different route to give us a variety to see.

Great tour of Inverness! - Culloden was fascinating and moving. Cawdor Castle was also a highlight. Our guide Michael was very knowledgeable, and took us to some places we would never have seen or known about.

Excellent personalized tour - Andrew is a great guide. He customized it from the start, so my wife and I saw what we wanted to see, including his recommendations. He knows all the history, but doesn't overdo it. Mostly, he personalized it with Scottish music (asked us first), fun stories and great rapport. Each time we take a cruise, we splurge one day with a personal guide, and I'd recommend this one to anyone. A great day in the Scottish highlands!

Probably one of the best tours I’ve ever had anywhere!!! Made me wish I could cancel some of my other plans and just hire him for the entire trip🫶. I will be calling him again when I am back this way! Thank you again Ryan!!
