We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Inverness is not a large city and is largely picturesque, ideally suited to walking tours. Our guide, Elaine, was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable and dealt with our largish group of mixed abilities very well. Highly recommended.

Simon was a charming guide. He made Inverness more interesting than I’d thought it was. He does need to know a bit more church history: that the cathedral is dedicated to St Andrew and who St Andrew was, opening hours, etc. Same with the Old High Church. We enjoyed our time with Simon.

The guide was very knowledgeable and funny, super helpful with restaurant recommendations and just a nice guy overall. We were in the middle of a protest for the independence of Scotland, making the tour even more engaging but causing us to diverge a little bit from our route (but he still covered every place and story he originally planned!)
