My wife scheduled us to take the 1/2 day tour and it could not have been a better trip with an awesome guide. Richie picked us up at our hotel and then we picked up the other 2 people as we made our way to Clava Cairns. Richie expertly navigated us across the Weak Bridge on our way to the Cairns for our Saturday trip. He got us there before the herds of other tourists arrived and we had a bit of quiet for the first 20 minutes there. He gave us the history of the Cairns as he walked us through the park. He then shuttled us over to Culloden Battlefield providing highlights on the way and then gave us time to explore the site. The site is well maintained and does an awesome job paying homage to everyone involved. Richie then drove us to the banks of Loch Ness with a quick stop to see the Harry Coos and then to Urquhart Castle. We visited the Great Glen Distillery on the way back to Inverness and the stop was well worth it. The gin was tasty and smooth and of course we could not leave empty handed. Urquhart Castle did no disappoint. We purchased our tickets to the Castle ahead of time to ensure we had access during the trip. We'd recommend anyone heading to the area to book a tour with Richie. We found their website to provide more information on all of their tours as well as the history of the company. Well worth the visit before you make the decision to book. Thanks again Richie, for making our first visit to Scotland that much better!
