Great time with John - John accepted us at last minute booking to this tour and was so friendly. We visited 3 distilleries, had whisky tastings and beautiful sightseeings during travels.

Incredible Tour - My wife and I were in Scotland for our Honeymoon and booked a couple of tours during our stay in Inverness. We expected this to be a group tour, but either we got lucky or didn't realize it was a private one. Johnny was one of the best guides we've ever had. He was able to make some ad-hoc changes to the itinerary to fit what we wanted. We had a great time at the distillery, but the highlights for us were the hikes and castle tour. We'd highly recommend the tour and Johnny!

Superb! - Johnny and his ability to make things interesting, provides suggestions, take little detours to show off his country. What a delightful day. Strongly recommend booking with him.

Great eastern Inverness area and distillery tour - Johnny, our driver made the trip as he proudly showed us his home area. The sea side visits, the community stops to see how the residents shared their heritage and cared for their communities, the area history and Sutherland Clearances and current economics all made our journey through the Scottish countryside memorable. And it was topped off with a great tasting at Glenmorangie! The personal touch included special wee stops at bridges which, as an engineer, i especially enjoyed. We highly recommend this tour and more importantly our driver, Johnny.

Unsurpassed local knowledge! - When we booked this tour we thought the highlight would be the distillery tour. Not so! Johnny also took us to small fishing villages, Dunrobin Castle, Falls of Shin...and so much more. He takes you off the beaten path- and his local knowledge is unsurpassed. Not your cookie cutter tour! Definitely recommend!

Excellent tour! - We had 2 lovely days in the highlands and we were luck enough to have George as our tour guide. George has a second to none History knowledge and he shared every single detail about the Highlands and the Scottish culture with us in a very passionate and enthusiastic fashion. Further, George were flexible enough to adapt our tour in order to accommodate a last minute request from my husband (another visit in a Whisky distillery). We will definitely come back to Scotland and will make sure that we book our tour in advance with GoHighlands so we can continue to explore and learn more about this beautiful country!

It worked out, thanks to John B. - The unscheduled Balblair Distillery tour. Our tour operator showed that our prepaid trip was cancelled. I called Viator and they confirmed it was still on. We were too late to do the Glenmorangie distillery tour. His alternative was excellent. We were also late for the castle tour, but took nice photos from the grounds. It worked out well, considering the circumstances.

Very disappointing. - Definitely not what was expected or outlined in the tour description. We were expecting a well-guided tour to the expected spots highlighted on the website by someone who knew what they were doing. Instead, we basically got a driver, who wasn't a local, not from Scotland, and didn't know any history or facts about the area. He picked us up, asked us where we were going and just drove us around for 5 hours, dropped us off where we knew we were suppose to be and waited for us in the car every stop. Definitely wasted money and time. Some great reviews speak of a "Johnny" or "George" that had what they expected......but that was definitely NOT our experience.

Disappointing - I would love to provide you some feedback regarding our tour today. It was a very big surprise to find out our tour guide was someone else. I understand things change but having someone take over that has no idea what they needed to do. We had to tell him what the tour was about. The 4 of us that were part of this tour, that was totally unplanned and a total waste of time and money. I do not know what happened but this was not what was sold to us. We felt is was a bait and switch. The reviews were all very good and well worth it. That is why we signed up with this tour in the first place. I would suggest you refund at least one of our tickets for this very disappointing, unplanned, and no tours of ant distillery’s were attended since nothing was arranged or planned. Very unfortunate.
