Perfect organized tour! - My husband and I booked a tour (Dunrobin Castle, Dornoch, and the Distillery) with Avril. Everything went perfectly, from the pick-up at the port to the timely return. Thanks to Avril, the trip was very informative and relaxing. However, there were only four of us. We had plenty of time at both Dunrobin Castle and Dornoch. In Dornoch. We even had a coffee (Cocoa Mountain - highly recommended). We also made stops to watch seals or take a few photos. In addition to the tour of the Whisky distillery, there was even a private tasting with Avril i.a. of Winston Churchill's favorite Whisky
All in all, we highly recommend Avril's Travel.

I'd give this tour 10 stars if I could. A must do in the Scottish Highlands - Avril provided us with the most insightful, info packed tour of the beautiful Northern part of the Scottish highlands. The tour is a small group tour and will suit anyone looking to get the most fun packed into a single day. Avril went way beyond the call to ensure she delivered her itinenary and surprised us with a few bonus items as well. We loved the day out and highly recommend Avril's Travels to anyone wanting to learn more about Scotland. Thank you Avril.

Invergordon small group tour - My husband and I took the tour with Avril from the cruise port. I would say it was the nicest tour we took on our trip. Because it is a small group tour, we spent much more time exploring and experiencing the sights then gathering up passengers like we did in large bus tours. It was also wonderful having a local tour guide that explained the history of the area and was always available to answer questions. I highly recommend this tour.

An absolutely amazing day out. - We were met at our German cruise ship and realised very quickly that language would not be a barrier to a great day out. We did our best in broken English and Avril used translator apps when needed.
Avril is a very warm, kind and friendly guide who was extremely accommodating to our personal preferences. She had everything organised, including entry tickets, quite honestly she was amazing and of all the trips we did off the cruise ship, this was by far the best. We cannot rate tnhis trip highly enough and have no hesitation in recommending it, you will definitely not be disappointed.

A day to remember - Avril made a very interesting tour and I am so thankful that she did not cancel the tour because it was only me alone. We both had a good day together with a nice castle, a beautiful garden and a falcon-show, seals,,a cosy village with a famous cathedral and a drop of old whisky and especially the very beautiful landscape of Scotland - and everything in bright sunshine.

Perfect - We had a very nice day in small group with Avril. She is very friendly and humorous and told us a lot about the region. Especially recommended as a cruise trip, as it is very straightforward and has adapted accordingly.

Great tour - Enjoyed the tour, Avril is very organised & was waiting for us as arranged. The van was comfortable, spacious & clean. Water was provided.
Avril had a little surprise for us so we would understand the different whiskeys. Avril shared her interesting history with us.
Best thing about Avrils tour is Avril. And she speaks slowly so very understandable.

Our tour started with seeing the bright rainbow flag and walk to the bright colored van. - Avril was a delight.
She was very informative. Took extra attention to covering as much as possible for our tour. I highly recommend using her service. You will see and do more with free time to eat and shop.

Experience Scotland privately - We found the trip mega.
Pick up by bus from the port area first stop and there was already the rainbow umbrella.
We were 4 adults as a family and there were 3 more people.
Here we go.
Many photo stops, vantage points and mega seals on the sandbar.
Castle worth seeing from the inside and outside and for our adult sons of course the whisky distillery.
The tasting went to Avril's car still in the 2nd round.
Mega
Just dare to do something private away from the cruise excursions.
From us 5 🌟
