I want to thank Len for the amazing tour we took with him last July. Sorry it took me so long to write Len!! We had a fabulous day. Len's knowledge of the tour we chose ( Outlander, Battles, Castles and Nessie) was really appreciated. Great driving with him, the tour highlights were beautiful...especially the drive up Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle. And I just have to say, I loved the " Harry Cows" and "Tablet" fudge at the end of the day. I also want to thank Len for taking the time to seek me out, after our tour had ended, and while I was shopping, to return a backpack I left behind in his van. Five stars for Len's services. Ask for him.

Really Great. We chose to do this instead of a cruiseship shore excursion and it was absolutely the right decision. It was a small group tour in a van not a big coach. Rona, our guide was beyond fantastic. It felt like we got to do what we wanted not just go to A, then B then C. We would do the tour again. Can?t recommend them enough.

Len is a terrific guide. He grew up in the area and shared lots of interesting information along the road to Dunrobin Castle and the other stops. Len was personable and a good driver. We had a great day thanks to him.

Maxine, June and their team are fabulous. We opted to do one of their private tours Scottish Castles & Loch Ness Tour and it was much better than I was expecting. We stopped at Culloden, Clava Cairn, Cawdor Castle and many other places. But my favourite place was Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle. It was so magical and mysterious. Thank you June we really enjoyed spending the day with you.

The beginning of the tour was a bit disorganized - we weren't sure what bus we were getting on and where we should wait. However, the tour overall was quite good, if a bit rushed. We went to Cawdor Castle, Loch Ness and Inverness. My major criticism was the minimum time we had in Inverness - we were dropped back to the cruise port almost 2 hours early, and it would have been nice to have some time in Inverness to explore - we literally had 45 minutes or so, and were just able to grab a rushed lunch. But our guides, June and her associate were very good!

Mo was a superb tour guide for our trip to Inverness. She was so knowledgeable, could answer any question. She was kind, funny and just incredibly awesome. Would recommend this tour to anyone. We traveled with 2 groups of grandparents, a toddler and his parents and she was accommodating to everyone

What a great tour we had today! Our local guide has amazing knowledge of area history, architecture, religion, agriculture and the economy. The tour was called Secret Loch Ness, but it includes so much more. It was in a comfortable Mercedes van, with just 4 of us, so photo stops were impromptu and plentiful. Ask for tour guide Len Bray - he?s top notch!

We had the Culloden, Inverness ,Clava Cairns , Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle tour (8 Hours) from Thistle Excursions with Becky as our tour guide . And it was the best tour I ever had !!!! She had an answer for all our questions and gave us sooo much information about every site and Scotland itself !!! I am so happy we booked that tour ! Also the contact with Maxine before the tour was very caring and professional! I can absolutely recommend Thistle Excursions ! And whenever I will come back to Scotland I will definitely contact them again ! 10 from 10 stars ??

Great service, recommended without reservations. Our trip to Loch Ness was well organized by our tour guide Mo. She managed to fulfill all of our wishes, organize the appropriate tickets for us at short notice and let us experience a perfect day in Scotland. Thank you

We visited Culloden Battlefield, Inverness, Clava Cairns and Loch Ness with Urquhart Castle with David, our tour guide. Since there was still enough time, David was so kind and made three more photo stops with us. We had enough time at every stop, David explained everything very well and made the day unforgettable. Absolutely recommended!
