1.Cawdor Castle, Inverness, Culloden, Outlander and Loch Ness Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 330 reviews · 6 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $207Our pick

Review of the Invergordon Highlands tour to Cawdor Castle, Culloden, Inverness and Loch Ness, with practical advice on timing, value and comfort.

“Wasn't really expecting all the Outlander stuff. Thought it would be more of a historical tour. It was quite good in that our guide Emma was historically knowledgeable as well. She was friendly with all on board. Two stars removed for the following reasons. The coach was small and brutally uncomfortable especially for those unlucky enough to land in the back row. There is a step at the back not clearly marked as an elevation change and 2 of us fell on it twisting knees and ankles (fortunately not seriously). Instead of ramming us in like sardines, we needed a bigger coach/fewer people on it. Thistle tours cuts it WAAYYYY…”

2.INVERGORDON PORT Tour of Culloden, Cairns & Cawdor Castle

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 189 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $181Top rated

Review of the Invergordon shore tour to Cawdor Castle, Culloden, Clava Cairns, Loch Ness, and Highland cows in a small group.

“We were a group of 11 from Canada on a cruise and this tour was an absolute highlight of our trip. With only one day in Inverness/Invergordon, we wanted to maximize our time, and this tour delivered. Our guides Lorraine and Avril were both fantastic: knowledgeable, engaging, and great at answering questions. The five stops were perfectly timed, with beautiful scenery and history shared along the way. The small-group vans were comfortable, well organized, and felt very safe. Most importantly, we got back to our ship with plenty of time to spare. Highly recommend!”

Review of a private Highland tour from Invergordon covering Loch Ness, Cawdor Castle, Culloden, Clava Cairns, Inverness, and whisky tasting.

“Lewis was absolutely wonderful! Very informative about all the areas we visited. Loved having a private tour with 4 of us in a minivan vs the large tour buses. He was one step in front of the large tours the whole time so our stops felt very private and personal. Touring with Lewis felt like driving around with a family friend. Had us back at the cruise port in plenty of time. Never had any worries! Highly recommend this tour company and Lewis as well. Thank you!”

Review of the Invergordon Loch Ness and Outlander tour, with Clava Cairns, Culloden, Urquhart Castle, gin tasting, costs, and tips.

“By far the best tour I’ve ever been on. Our guide, Sarah, was absolutely wonderful, very engaging, and knowledgeable of the Scottish Highlands. Her local knowledge of all the sites we visited made us feel like we were family visiting from the USA. The banter with her dad, owner of the tour company and who was hosting another group in a different van, was sweet and again played into feeling like we were family. The Clava Cairns surpassed my imagination with all the stories that were shared about its history and the mysteries behind it. My mom who is an avid Jaime & Claire fan from the TV show, loved…”
