Great tour guide - Iqbal was a great guide, he was very informative and very kind and patient when our two year old was fussy. We could not have asked for a better tour guide. We had a great day even the the rain showers.

Excellent Tour & Tour Guide! - My friends and I enjoyed a Half-Day tour with Iqbal. And may I say it was absolutely amazing!!! He was the most knowledgeable tour guide ever! He told us so much about the history and culture of beautiful Scotland! It is so obvious he enjoys what he does and truly loves passing on his vast knowledge and experience to his clients. Iqbal was also friendly, flexible, and most patient with our group when we made him wait almost an hour so we could finish shopping! He kindly picked us up from our hotel to start the tour and was on time at arrival. And he helped us take some great photos of our group during the tour, giving us precious memories to look back on. It was truly an incredible experience my friends and I won't soon forget!! Thank you again, Iqbal, for giving us this opportunity. We would do it again if we ever have to chance to do so.

Lewis was an amazing tour... - Lewis was an amazing tour guide! We were the only people on the tour and he personalized it to our preferences. He was easy going/personable, very knowledgeable and such a delight to be around! Would do this tour again for sure as long as he was our guide. We were only here for a short time but we were able to squeeze in a lot of the “must-sees”, making it all more memorable!

Rainy and beautiful sights - We loved the scenery, even on a cold and rainy day. Our guide, Richie, did a wonderful job keeping us out of the rain and cold as much as possible. We really appreciated his flexibility, friendliness, and knowledge. Highlights included the priory at Beauly, the Loch Ness Exhibition, and the Clava Cairns. We would definitely recommend this trip.

Amazing tour of the Scottish Highlands - We had an amazing time on our private tour with Tony! He was prompt picking us up and curated our day to fit our interests, even going out of the way to show us some great local spots and giving us recommendations for local restaurants to try. Our Highlands tour was the highlight of our ten day trip in Scotland, and a must book if you are visiting the Inverness area!! Thank you Tony for the best tour!

Wonderful tour - We had a lovely day with Tony. He was very accommodating and made sure we saw the things that we needed to see—castles, Loch Ness, hairy coos, Clava Cairns, the battlefield, gin and whisky tasting and lunch at a local pub where we could try haggis and tatties. He was a lot of fun and filled us in on the history of the places we went. All four of us agree that this was the best of the eight tours we took on this trip. And a shout out to Mike who I texted many times ahead of the trip to ask questions. He always responded quickly and I really appreciated his help. I didn’t realize how far Inverness was from the port and Mike was very helpful in taking care of us. I definitely recommend this company.

The Best Tour of our 12 day British Isles cruise - We are so grateful for the experience we had today with our driver/guide Johnny. He was absolutely fantastic. We were able to see everything we wanted to see at our pace — Black Rock Gorge, Highland Cows, Urquhart Castle, Condor Castle, the Cairns, Culloden Battlefied, and the Singleton scotch whiskey tasting room. The tour operator and our guide were by far the best we encountered on our British Isles cruise and we highly recommend them.
