About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- E5327HQcarolinec0 contributionsPerfect introduction to the city and its historyOur guide, Sue, was friendly and the perfect person to get us up to speed with local history. Felt I didn't need to read up on Nessie or Bonnie Price Charlie as we got an entertaining potted history on the way. I went off exploring on my own afterwards so it was a good way to get orientated. Good value and not too long. Would recommend!Written 23 November 2024

A very interesting and informative tour through Inverness. Our tour guide Elaine spoke very clear English, which meant she was easy to understand. The walk through Inverness wasn't too long and we got to see places we wouldn't have seen otherwise! A really great experience!

We had a great private tour with Elaine. We were 15 minutes late because we got turned around with our directions but she was very kind and called and waited for us. She was extremely knowledgable and we learned so much about Inverness and its rich and diverse history! A great tour that I would highly recommend.

My husband and I were fortunate to be introduced to Inverness on our first full day by Christine. Her knowledge of Inverness and Scotland’s history is deep and broad, and she brought it to life as we walked to the various sites in this charming small city.
