★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 189 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $180Our pick

Travel from Invergordon in a small van with guides such as Avril and Lorraine. Visit Cawdor Castle, Clava Cairns, Culloden Battlefield, Loch Ness, and Highland cows near Beauly. The day lasts about seven hours, includes port pickup, water, and ship-timed return, but castle and battlefield admission cost extra.

“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!”

“What a fabulous day with Ritchie! He was the perfect guide. Eight of us traveled fairly comfortably in his mini van. Do be aware if there are large people in your party, probably should only be 6. We visited the Clava Cairns and stones where Clare went through the stone in Outlander. Very different from Stonehenge which we saw a couple of weeks ago. Then on to the Culloden battlefield which was extremely moving as Ritchie related the history. Lovely visitors center there. Urguhart castle was magnificent to behold. A short film sets the scene for the castle. We had a delicious lunch in cafe along the way and got…”

“If you are lucky enough to have Bob as your guide you will have a Wonderful day. David went out his way to make sure we all had an awesome time. He was born and bred in Inverness and knows all the history. Our Culloden battlefield experience was historically accurate and enhanced with person knowledge that you cannot get from just anyone. Bob knew the best ways to maximize our day extra time here, less time there. As Bob knows the area so well he knows all the secret places off the beaten path for the best views and least crowds. We wish we could have Bob as our guide…”
