Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a 2 hour private tour with Cath, who was a delightful tour guide; interesting and informative, with a lovely sense of humour. The weather was a little unkind during our walk, but it didn’t matter at all - we thoroughly enjoyed it. Best of all, Cath tailored the walk to suit us, taking us around parts of the city which we hadn’t already discovered. I suspect if we had had twice the amount of time, we still wouldn’t have managed to see everything. We would happily engage Cath again on a future visit to learn some more.

Yes, I could take you on an 8-hour tour of Inverness but I think you'd want to run away halfway through :) It's good to know a bit about my walkers so I can tailor the tour to people's interests. Thanks for taking the time to review my tour.

The driving tour I took of Culloden, the Clava Cairns and Fort George was like being taken by a neighbor on a visit to where she grew up. Cath herself is instantly likable and very attentive to your particular interests whatever they may be. More important, she really did grow up in the area and knows it like the back of her hand. Not only does she know the area, she knows all the old stories, whether it’s the details of the Battle of Culloden or the stories about her family and her neighbors in the historic environs of Inverness. Her attention to historic detail is superb and her love of the area is infectious. I highly recommend her tour.

Thank you for this great recommendation. I hope that I can bring the area alive through our history and my own lived experience. I'm not exactly ancient :) but things we believed and our language have changed so quickly that if no one talks about it this info will also be lost forever.

Cath was brilliant. Her driving tour was really informative, friendly and personal. It felt like a family friend showing us around. She was also really patient and kind to my mum with mobility issues. Thanks Cath!

Hi Karen, Lovely to meet you all. I like to make sure everyone in the group enjoys their tour and make it accessible for all. Hopefully, I you'll visit the North of Scotland again and visit some of the places I told you about. Happy New Year Cath

We were guided by Cath and had a great experience. Cath explained all the history and was highly knowledgeable and good fun. She took photos for us and sent them on and really helped us understand the relevance of all the places of interest we visited. Well worth doing

I would recommend taking this walking tour as soon as you get to Inverness. Cath leads you all around Inverness, showing you the historical sites, and giving so much information about the area. Once you have been on her tour, you will not get lost, and you will know a lot about Inverness.

Thanks for taking the time to write such a great review. As an Invernessian, a native of Inverness, I have many local stories to share. Our City is changing every day and it is fantastic to meet so many people, from all over the world, interested in finding out about Inverness and the Highlands.

Being a local I completely underestimated the amount of history within Inverness. Cath is a fountain of knowledge, enthusiastically portraying tales gone by. I joined a group tour myself and Cath made me feel more than welcomed into the group. I highly recommend this tour to locals and visitors of Inverness.

Social distancing and safety measures were also subtly enforced and I felt more than safe for the duration of the walk. Thank you Cath!

Thanks for your amazing review. It was lovely to meet you. Being outside and everyone distanced from each other allowed us all to stay safe. Glad you enjoyed your walk :)
