Review of a private Loch Ness and Culloden tour from Inverness, with Urquhart Castle, whisky, Clava Cairns, and practical booking advice.

“This tour had a lot of interesting stops. Our driver William was fantastic and made the experience well worthwhile. He worked tirelessly for 8 hours to keep us informed, laughing and at times tearful. Clava Cairns, Culloden, the whiskey stop were the highlights of the tour. The hairy coos and Urquhart castle were less impressive. Our stop for lunch and the priory were a lot of fun. William was the greatest highlight of all. He told us so many stories. You could fill a book.”

Highly recommend and would definitely request him again next time we're back in London.”
