Went to the fairy pools without a guide and it was stunning. Weather wasn’t great but water was so clear and beautiful. Would have been a better experience on a warm day. Wear decent footwear as when raining it gets slippy

I wanted to book a trip where myself and my husband were the only passengers but I wasn’t paying stupid money, and this trip fitted the bill. We had an excellent trip with George, who went out of his way to find us as many distilleries as he could. Unfortunately because of coronavirus many had shut their doors to visitors. Unsurprisingly none of the distilleries we did visit were doing tours of where they do production, but the ones we visited for tastings were well worth it. The highlight for us was Glenmorangie. We’d highly recommend a day with George, a true gent and Highlander.

Originally booked for May 20, the course was moved to May 21 after an unfortunate incident with a Deer on the Rannoch Moor. This was moved no problem. When the course finally came around we had some unseasonal weather for May. This was overcome no problem as Scott used his very good expertise to work out what we would do on each day to work round the testing weather conditions. Scott was exceptional on constantly giving tips and advise each day as we made our way through my lists of hills. The whole experience was definitely one of my highlights of all my 35 years of hillwalking. Honestly can't thank Scott enough and would highly recommend anyone to use him if they're planning a trip to Skye for the Cuillins. Thank you!

Where to start? After a year of planning our itinerary with Nick of Aura Journeys, we put it into play with 8 days of touring with William. William is professional, but he knows how to have fun with you after he sizes you up. His humor was like spending a week with your best friend from college. Subtle, but pointed, we traded barbs and laughed away the week. No worries about spending a week with a stranger when your guide is William! His knowledge of the area was deep but if he didn't have an answer to your question, he'd look it up and have it for you quickly. He soon got to know what we liked and what we didn't, from meal times and toilet stops, to type of food and sightseeing preferences. We had daily itineraries but we would often adjust based on our own energy level or suggestions from William. Nothing was ever a problem for William. We went to several places William had never been to and he thanked US for taking him there. We ended as good friends and hated to leave him at the end of our journey. Highlights: * Always arrived early with a clean van and lots of water * Very safe driver * Served as photographer when asked - we finally have trip pictures with both of us * Flexible and accommodating * Knowledgeable - great suggestions for restaurants, activities, places to visit and places to skip * He did all the work and let us be tourists rather than trying to drive and read guidebooks while we flew past sights. Worth every penny on this 50th wedding anniversary trip

My husband and I had a wonderful day last week (Oct 2020) exploring the Northern Highlands from Inverness with Craig. Prior to our visit, I communicated with Craig via email to plan our day. I had a few things in mind that I wanted to see, such as the Culloden Battlefield, Clava Cairns and Dunrobin Castle, but mostly explained that we wanted to get a sense of the history and culture and stop and take in the beautiful landscapes and take photos. Craig delivered all that and more, exceeding our expectations, with his knowledge of the area and his delightful stories. In addition to all of the above, Craig whisked us off to a surprise visit to fascinating Wardlaw Mausoleum to learn more about the Clan Fraser (Outlander fans will understand!), Beauty Priory, Shin Falls to see the salmon leaping (yes, we did get to see actual salmon!). We had another surprise at Dunrobin Castle with a Falconry demonstration, which normally would not be operating this time of year. Many stops along the way to see beautiful vistas, Loch Fleet World Heritage site where we had a good view of the seal colony, and Clootie Well. Craig was the ultimate host, picking us up and dropping us off at our Inverness hotel, driving us in comfort, complete with safety measures of hand sanitizer and masks, and more importantly a picnic hamper full of snacks. He was very responsive and communicative before and after our trip. I highly recommend Craig as your personal tour guide to the delightful Highlands.

10. Craigs 4 day Highland Whisky Tour from Glasgow - Inclusive of up to 6 Persons

Highland-Excursions

This luxurious four days tour provides private and exclusive travel to the destinations inclusive for up to 6 persons and is conducted by a well presented and trained driver. Default vehicle is a Luxury Van Type MPV but this can vary depending on requirements at that time but any substitution will always be of the highest quality. Tours are very flexible and even on the day flexibility can be employed by the customers to chop and change destination distilleries. Day order of tours may vary, for example customers being collected from Edinburgh or Glasgow will tour the Perth-shire distilleries on day 1 with the other falling on the subsequent 2 days. Day 4 is your return to the South of Scotland to your nominated place of drop off. Regarding your accommodation, I would suggest Inverness which has a great choice of Hotels and Restaurants and you can book this at a standard which suits you and your group personally - required for three nights from the end of day one of your tour.

Inclusions: Door to door collection and drop off, Snacks and water provided, Air-conditioned vehicle, Private transportation, WiFi on board

Exclusions: Accomodation, Cost of Meals, Tastings and Tours not included
