A wonderful tour. Our guide Craig was very knowledgable and a lot was learned of historical facts. Would highly recommend this tour...
Wonderful Highlands Experience

So happy to have booked this tour. It was an excellent introduction to the Highlands. Our guide John was so knowledgeable and gracious; it was a pleasure spending the day with him. With a maximum of 8 people the tours feel very personal. We saw Loch Ness, a view of Urquhart Castle, Beauly, Highland cows, Culloden Battlefield, and Clava Cairns. If I'm lucky enough to be back in Scotland I will surely book more tours with the Happy Tours provider.
A fantastic tour to see a lot in a day

Bill was amazing! Given his career teaching history in various levels of school, high school, college etc; it showed in his knowledge and passion for sharing the history of Scotland. A wee dram, homemade shortbread and a toast to the memory of the fallen at Culloden was a lovely touch on such a dark period in history. Thank you Bill!!
A memorable experience

Everything was perfect on schedule. We has an amazing day. Stuart was a kind, knowledgeable and trustful guide. He brought into life the terrible Cullon battle, it moves me.
At Clava Cairns he spent time telling us about all the facts but also the miths.
My raincoat was soaked and not only did he gave me his, but he gave it to me as a present! So nice of him. He made the tour a blast. Thanks a lot.
Wonderful day trip in the Inverness area.

Great day tour of the Inverness area. Craig was a fantastic guide with his mix of information and humor. He is very knowledgeable about each of the stops and I was particularly impressed with our visit to the Culloden battlefield. He not only walked us through the battlefield but narrated the battle as well. He was also very willing to engage in discussion and answer questions. There were no fees at any of the sites other than to buy food at lunch and a wee drink of whiskey at the distillery. This is a wonderful day trip.
Great outing with awesome guide!

Our guide/driver Dave was fantastic! Made the trip a wonderful experience. All of the locations were excellent. Would have loved extra time to go inside the castle instead of the distillery stop!

Bill went above and beyond to make this tour special. As a retired university professor ion history, he is an expert and we learned a great deal. Scotland is such a beautiful country, that you owe it to yourself to take a tour and learn more about it.
Excellent

David with Happy tours was very knowledgeable and personable. He brought to life the history behind the Culloden civil war battle. We made several stops including the castle on Loch Ness. For lunch we had a choice of two restaurants. The delicatessen was delicious and affordable. We do recommend this full day small group tour. He even helped us arrange our travel back to our cruise ship.

We had s fantastic day with our guide, Stuart, visiting the Loch Ness, Urquhart castle, Singleton distillery, Culloden battlefield and the Clava cerns. Stuart was an excellent guide with great sence of humour. We learned a lot about the region and it’s history on a warm and sunny day in the Highlands.
