Things to do in Inverness

my guide and driver for the day was Keith (09 May 26). I chooses the lochness and highlands tour . the drive was very informative and educational, I am able to appreciate the history of Scotland and the highlands . The areas that we went to and nature was beautiful too. The drive felt safe and I was also able to appreciate the scenery along the way .

A great tour, highly recommend it! Easy pickup and drop off with no issues. Sam was a great guide. The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is the Loch Ness Cruise but this is an optional add-on.

The tour was great - we had a smaller van and the seats were comfortable. Our tour guide was Nicky and she was wonderful. She was funny and welcoming, and shared lots of facts and stories about Scotland's history. All the places we stopped were great. The weather was completely wild! We had snow and rain in the morning, and then sun in the afternoon - but this just added to the experience. We also opted for the Loch Ness cruise and it was worth it. The views were amazing and there was more facts shared. I would definitely recommend this tour.

A delightful tour, long but not tiring or boring. All locations were managed according to plan, and we even had an extra visit at the end to see the Hairy Coos again, as we were too busy shopping to take photos at the beginning of the tour. The price was quite competitive, and the tour team was professional. A good experience.

Compliments to our driver/guide Kevin for a safe drive and highly entertaining day. His experience and familiarity of the roads allowed many more photo stops than anticipated. Thank you for the wonderful memories, Kevin. It felt warm to be back despite the cold…

The itinerary was awesome—definitely a better tour compared to the one from Edinburgh. The tour from Inverness covered more places and offered even better scenery. We were lucky to spot Scottish cows and see the castle beautifully lit up at night. The weather was perfect, with plenty of sunlight. Mike was friendly and a great driver—we felt very safe and comfortable throughout the journey. Although there were small hiccups in the morning due to the bus being late from operational issues, the tour eventually turned out really well. No regrets traveling all the way north to Inverness for this tour.

Sonia was a very good guide! Funny and smart. It was very beautiful. We had good weather so that was also a good thing haha. I really recommend the tour!

This cruise tour is a must if you're in Scotland! Although, you may not see Nessie, you will see some beautiful views of Loch Ness and the castle. The Clansman Hotel has a great bar and restaurant, so I would recommend starting your tour there. I took the Ember bus which is efficient, however, you must book your specific stop and pickup. They will not stop, unless you specifically book The Clansman Hotel. My return pickup was missed as I booked the wrong pickup point, costing me 45 minutes. Ask someone if you don't know how to book this bus or find a different mode of transportation. Getting there is not difficult. Being a tourist, I found out the hard way, however, they had some great Scotch in the bar while I waited. Good trade off. Enjoy it!

Starting from the canal, with a stopover at the castle, this comfortable cruise boat offers captivating guided commentary while you admire the magnificent views of Loch Ness. It's a very relaxing sightseeing activity. It would be even better if the activity included time for a castle tour.
