Wonderful Day and Adventure with Cath!!!

Published on Mar, 2025

When I first began communicating with Cath I knew our time with her would be top notch!! Cath is from Inverness and knowledgable of all the rich history and sites of the area. She is a warm friendly joyful lady that loves people. She pays attention to each detail from her customer and creates an itinerary that suits specific interests. Spending time with Cath and learning more about the area while seeing the beautiful highlands area was a highlight of our trip! We spent half a day with her while visiting Culloden Battlefield, Loch Ness, Beauly, The Black Isle, and a short drive around Inverness. Highly recommend Cath's Inverness Tours!!!

Charmingly informative tour with our new friend Cath!

Published on Oct, 2024

Cath is an incredible tour guide. She greeted us with such warmth and brought history to life through storytelling. She shares background and then incorporates reality so that you have a thorough understanding of each site you visit. We loved touring Culloden, Clava Cairns and Cawdor Castle with her and cannot wait to visit again and plan another fun tour.
