Excellent tour

Sep 2022

We went on your trip on Wednesday from Invergordon to Culloden battlefields, Culloden Viaduct, Clava Cairns, Inverness, Cawdor Castle and Lock Ness. We wanted to say how much we enjoyed the trip and what good value for money it was. Mo was our tour guide and she was brilliant telling us all about the area we were going through. I had inadvertently booked our trip for 2023 and not 2022 but your staff were so helpful and said not to worry and got us on the trip with no hassle what so ever. They were all so helpful. The bus driver was so kind to a lady in a wheelchair and sorted her out whenever she wanted to get off.Great value for money.

We would recommend your tours.Excellent.
