From Invergordon, you’ll visit Cawdor Castle, Culloden Battlefield and Inverness, then cruise past Loch Ness looking for Nessie. Guides such as Mo, Emma, June and Seoris bring local stories to the drive. A small coach reaches sites larger buses cannot, though the full day can feel tightly timed.

“After a somewhat chaotic start, we launched off on a fun, informative day. Guide Mo was absolutely hysterical and kept the flow going well all day while Handsome John brilliantly piloted our coach thru some harrowing spots. Mo was very informative and it was a great way to see the whole region and learn about its history. It would be very helpful were the meet up site set up better, as several in our group wandered the streets of Invergordon looking for us. Each guide should be lined up w signs, with a greeting host sending us off to line up w our appointed guides. Thank you for a memorable…”

Travel from Inverness in a 16-seat Mercedes mini-coach to Clava Cairns, Culloden Battlefield, Glen Affric and Beauly Priory. Your guide, such as Scott, Clare, Nick or Duncan, handles the driving and brings Scottish history, local stories and Highland scenery to life. Expect walking, narrow roads and changeable weather.

“Our tour guide, Nick, was absolutely amazing! He was very knowledgeable and entertaining! He made the trip a great day! We would absolutely recommend this tour!!! Lots of walking, up and down hills over somewhat difficult terrain. This is easy for young people in shape, but not everyone. Nick was great to help make it challenging for those who could handle the hikes, but checked on and assisted anyone struggling. He made sure everyone was taken care of and saw all the sights. Lots of fun! We even got to see Highland Cows!!!”

Decked out in proper kilt, he was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and helpful. We put ourselves in his hands, and saw everything we had planned and then some. Do not miss Cawdwer Castle and plan for a wonderful lunch in the Cafe with everything homemade. We would use Viator again. More than worth the money for a private tour for four in a comfortable van.”

Unforgettable and amazing! Great job everyone! Many, many thanks! P.S. Did not see Outlander sites because we had to help stranded tourists. I had no desire to see that, anyways, and it felt…”
