Urquhart Castle, Culloden Battlefield, Inverness & Loch Ness
Overview
Return journey:
We WILL have you back to your ship around 1 hour prior to its departure time. We nearly always arrive back BEFORE the ship’s own buses. We’re very efficient and have been doing this for 7 years, serving thousands of cruise passengers every summer season.
You’ll see Clava Cairns from Outlander fame, Culloden battlefield, Urquhart Castle, Inverness, Loch Ness and the famous highland cows at Beauly.
This tour is taken usually in an 8 seater minivan but sometimes up to a 33 seater which is still a small bus.
Our tour is based on a quality experience from feedback from our customers in 2019. We are a new company who aim to please and our guides will offer you local knowledge and answer all your questions.
Our tour will depart 30 minutes to 1.5 hours after the ship’s arrival.
This tour can be in anything from 8 seaters to 33 seaters depending on numbers.
You will love our experienced tour guides in their purple uniforms or tartan and kilt attire.
