Invergordon Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

This was a wonderful excursion and we learned so much about the area. Ian was our tour guide and he was great. Very knowledgeable, but presented everything in a entertaining and informative way highly recommend this tour and guide.

Good tour, somewhat disorganized at the beginning. Bus microphone didn’t work for the first part. Disappointed that we didn’t have enough time to see the Urquhart Castle. Plenty of time in Inverness. The tour guide was good and knowledgeable.

This was a great tour and our guide, Tony, was the best. It was a private tour, just 3 of us, so he was able to make the tour personal. He showed us places that the big buses can't go. He treated us to Scottish treats, even a homemade one made by his mother! We all said this was our favorite tour because of Tony! Now we are hoping to go back someday and will definitely use Tony to show us other parts of beautiful Scotland!

An unforgettable day trip! Johnny was an absolutely brilliant guide - super welcoming, funny and highly knowledgeable. He made sure we saw tons of nice spots. Dunrobin Castle was great and the falconry show was very interesting and absolutely worth seeing. It was just an all-around great day trip. We would book again anytime !

Your time during traveling is precious and it is important to maximize it. In order to do this, my wife and I highly recommend that you book Ronny as your personal guide when you are in the Invergordon area.Ronny will make your visit come to life as he shares his deep local knowledge while you visit this magical land. In fact, Ronny has actually written a book, "Echoes of the Landscape," that covers stories, folklore, and special places, from the Cromarty of Firth to Tarbat Ness.This tour is not a "cookie cutter" trip that goes from spot A to B. Ronny customizes your tour to your individual interests. During our visit, Ronny was able to adjust on the fly, making sure we not only got to see all of the "must see" highlights. He listened to what we were interested in and made sure we got to see places most tourists never experience.At the end of the day, Ronny took us to Tain, where he introduced us to a local expert on clans and the rich history of the local area. The time with Ronny flew by and before we knew it, we had to say farewell.If you are looking for a once in a lifetime experience, let Ronny guide you on your Scotland journey.

We emailed and Andy answered right away. Very good at communicating with us! We couldn’t have been luckier to get him as our guide! Very educational and Andy let us do whatever we wanted. He picked us up on time and dropped us off on time. You can go wrong with this tour! Our favorite!

Johnny was a great guide. Knowledgeable and friendly. Adapted the itinerary to our requests. Was a wonderful day.

We had a bit of trouble identifying our guide, but once we got in the van, it was absolutely amazing! Dave was funny and knowledgeable, he showed us all of Scotland and made a lot of great recommendations. We would highly recommend this tour to others, especially if Dave is involved!

Johnny our tour guide was wonderful and very accommodating. The places he took us were great. We wanted to see highland cows so he took us to a place where we could get up close to them to get photos!

Tony was our driver. I have to say, I've taken quite a few excursions but this one is at the top of my list. Tony was very knowledgeable, not only about the locations we visited, but the history of the Highlands. He was flexible in going wherever we wanted. I was with three others, and we are unanimous in our opinion this was the best excursion we took in our visit to Scotland and Iceland. I would book this again in a heartbeat. Do yourself a favor and book this excursion.

A great full day from cruise ship. Driver was easy to locate at end of pier with marked sign. Comfortable seating. I loved the small group experience with ample time to explore cites and get a history review. Lots of great pictures to remember beautiful day. Weather was perfect. Rare, I guess!

We all had such a wonderful time. Susan provided such a pleasurable experience during our stop in Invergodon. She made sure that we saw all the must-stops and educated us along the way. Our time in Invergorden was by far our favorite excursion on this entire trip.

Great tour, like a sampler platter, saw a lot of the Scottish Highlands and historic sites. Aleman was a great and knowledgeable guide that took his time explaining the sites and allowing us enough go time to explore. Well done!

Our whisky tour with John was a highlight of our Highland trip! He was incredibly knowledgeable, fun, and entertaining—and somehow managed to connect everything we saw and did to our heritage. I laughed A LOT and had an absolute blast.John took a genuine interest in our Scottish heritage, which became a wonderful theme throughout the day. We discovered that he and my husband are both part of the Clan Chattan Confederation, so they bonded immediately. I, on the other hand, am apparently descended from the savage and mad MacDonalds. Needless to say, this tickled me more than it probably should have.What made the day special was John’s knowledge and obvious love for the area. He didn’t just give us a history lesson—he pointed out places, shared stories, and explained the things he clearly loves about the Highlands.He arranged a fascinating tour at Tomatin Distillery, along with tastings at Glenmorangie and Singleton. He never rushed us allowing us to linger wherever we wanted.Along the way, we stopped for spectacular Highland views, fun shops, and, of course, photos of a Highland cow (or two!). John even taught us how to properly pronounce Gaelic words so we could sound a little more Highland and a little less American.If you want more than just a whisky tour—if you want history, scenery, laughter, great whisky, and a guide who genuinely cares about making your day special—John is your guy.

Fabulous Personal tour, very informative, we totally enjoyed the experience. Cool Destinations used Andy of Highland Tours and he was wonderful. Highly Recommend
