★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 330 reviews · 6 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $206Our pick

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…”

“On a Princess cruise. This day trip was great. Our guide was Murdock who works for this small family owned business. Modern bus with ac and usb ports. Murdock was very entertaining, extremely helpful, and accommodating. He provided historical information that helped bring meaning to the various stops. Not a typical drop iff and explore on your own, he actually went onto the battlefield and cairns to provide information and answer questions. At castle and Loch Ness he was around to support as needed. In Inverness, he provided personal recommendations but stayed with the bus. Great tour, great price. As our first time to Scotland, this was a great excursion!”
