We had a great time. Gordon timed it so our arrival at the castle was just as it opened. Very nice to be able to walk through before it was busy. Gordon really knew his history at the battlefield. Made it interesting even for those of us that don't watch Outlander.

Gordon was great. I was so glad that we did this trip as opposed to the one with our ship. We were first at the castle & I was glad to avoid the crowds. Gordon was a font of information & made the trip great.

Rob was an EXCELLENT guide - we thoroughly enjoyed our full day tour with him. We got to see a lot of places, Cawdor Castle was great, and we stopped for the best view if Loch Ness - highly recommend!

Awesome experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable, transportation was very comfortable. Everything was great.

Excellent day with Gordon our guide / driver. Very informative day excellent value for money.
