Andrew gave us the best experience on a trip out to Cawdor Castle from Inverness. He was on time, helpful with my elderly mother, kind, full of knowledge and just plain welcoming. He picked us up at our B&B in Inverness, promptly at the time arranged, told us all about the castle during our drive out there, and told us if we needed more time at the castle, to just let him know and he could adjust as needed. On the way back to Inverness, since it was my mother's first time in Scotland, he drove us by Culloden battlefield to take a look at the site as well as the hairy coos there at no extra charge, even though we were his last trip for the day and it took time out of his own personal schedule. He was a gentleman in the truest sense of the word and I would highly recommend him and his car services and tours to anyone who visits the area. The prices were reasonable, the service outstanding and you definitely won't be disappointed.

The ceilidh on the last night of our trip was spectacular. We met characters from the Outland series, we ate authentic food from the Scottish Highlands and we danced all night. The castle was beautiful and The Bard sang for us. A Sassenach's dream!!

We were very disappointed to cancel this tour when our cruise was cancelled but were EXTREMELY pleased when we were given our refund instantaneously and heard from the owner. She expressed her disappointment about not being able to take us on the tour. This is definitely a company that cares about its customers and we will be booking with them when we travel again

We were so lucky - we had George to ourselves! As he said himself prior to picking us up from our hotel he was easily recognisable, resplendent in his kilt. First stop was Clava Cairns, an almost mystical prehistoric burial site in a beautiful setting. Then on to Culloden where we spent time wandering the battlefield, made more emotive by seeing where various Chieftans had fallen. Then on to something completely different - the Caledonian Canal at Dochgarroch Lock before heading to the Loch Ness Exhibition Centre (and yes, we did see Nessie!) Our final stop was at the ruins of Beauly Priory. As promised it was fun and full of interesting stories. Many thanks again George!

We went to Scotland last month during the first week of September 2020 and we are still talking about this amazing trip we did with our guide George. The Highlands were even more beautiful thanks to him...we had the chance to view all the best spots, secluded and historical sites, astonishing views all in one day! We would highly recommend this tour, we will definitely go back to Scotland and book another trip with George; who is very knowledgeable about Scotland’s history and the territory itself, you feel like you are taking part in a great documentary customized for you :) Thanks again for the best tour George! -Your small family from Turkey-
