“Excellent tour. Excellent tour guide. It was a 7-8 hour day. Lots of driving through the stunning countryside of Scotland. So far the most beautiful country I’ve seen. Nick our driver was full of the dickens! Very knowledgeable and extremely fun. Highly recommend him and the tour.”

“We booked this tour for a cruise port stop. The tour is provided by Avril's Travels. Avril sent meeting instructions which were easy to follow. I highly recommend this tour. We saw so many things and had plenty of time at each stop.”

“You can't really blame the guide nor the tour but it was just one of those days. The bridge was closed so we had to make a detour of almost an hour. Thus threw off the timing of the entire tour. The road to Inverary was being repaired from a rock slide so we had no time at Inverary castle and there were no tickets any way. We spent hours driving with short stops and an hour break to get lunch in a town with overcrowded restaurants and few options. With a time constraint to get back to the ship topping it off. It was definitely not worth the money…”

“Nice time ferried around by Avril. Castle is well worth your time. Dornoch is a cute little village. The distillery is quite nice. Met and returned on time. Would recommend it.”

“John, our driver was wonderful and very knowledgeable. One of the best excursions we have ever been on!!”

“Our tour guide, George, was so very knowledgeable. He took us to all the places we really wanted to see and filled us in on all the local lore.”

“This was an experience of a lifetime. Finn and Michelle were absolutely incredible and accommodating. Finn is a native of Inverness(Highlands) and her knowledge about the area and the history of the Highlands had a personal twist along with humor and expertise. If you are in the area, book these two young ladies for an amazing experience of Inverness, Loch Ness and surrounding areas. They were fun, knowledgeable, personable and professional. We had a true Scottish experience with these young ladies.”

“We did not ever receive a response from the tour guide once we reached out due to the cruise port issue.”

“Really enjoyed meeting George. The castle and falconry display were great. We enjoyed lunch at the castle as well. The stop at Clyneish distillery was fun. Afternoon attractions were a bit remote for us. But we had a good experience of the highlands and the heather”

“Richi picked us up on time at the meeting point and we were back on time to the ship. The day was super organized and we were able to determine the process ourselves, how long we wanted to stay where. Communication went great. Highly recommended 👍🏼Auto-translated”

“Beautiful trip!! The village of Loss is breathtaking and the Loch. Stirling castle was beautiful. Perfect day and our driver Craig was the best!”

“1. It was very difficult to find the bus because no one was waiting with a sign as advertised, so we left late while waiting for everyone. 2. The tour guide was unable to do the tour which we totally understand as there was a medical emergency. Read more”

“There were seven of us traveling together and we made up the entire group. It was nice to have the personal touch and to not be just one of a huge coach. Ritchie was so professional and knowledgeable, funny and friendly and he wore a quilt! He was great about sharing information for our destinations and the area as we motored along. We had lots of questions and he answered them all patiently and with good information. The scenery and stops were excellent! I would highly recommend Ritchie's excursion!!”

“James, the owner of Alba Experiences was wonderful! So wonderful, he left us all wanting more. He is so proud, knowledgeable, and in love his country which made our shore excursion fantastical. He was rich with information and showed us a great deal of his favorite spots which made our experience magical!”

“Emma was a great guide. We had a private tour with 6 in our group. She planned oyr day to what we wanted to see. She even had a wee dram of whiskey for us. The weather was rainy but we were still able to see the dolphins. Highly recommend doing the private tours as you aren’t stuffed on a bus with 50 other people.”
