Invergordon - private tour - recommendations needed :)

Hello,

Wow, I cannot believe how many tours we want to do on our upcoming British Isles cruise.

Can you recommend a private driver guide for Invergordon? We would like to go to Dunrobin area vs Loch Ness.

Thank you!!!

We had a fantastic day with this company. Small groups personal service.

oops, the THANK YOU was left behind... I hit the submit button too quickly

Our excursion was with Dougie of Highland Tours https://www.highlandtours.info/quint...land-tour.html The gorse and broom were in full bloom so everywhere we went had bright yellows flowers in the hedgerows. An early stop was Millionaires View — a wow moment. We drove through tunnels of trees and over hills to the Falls of Shin and it’s new visitor centre.http://www.kyleofsutherlanddevelopme...unity-project/ They opened a little early for us to pick-up lattes and head on the road again —it was the only place we encountered midgies. Our next stop was Dunrobin Castle for the amazing Falconry exhibition at 11:30 am where we had front row seats. We had a quick snack in their cafe and then headed to our 2 pm Balblair distillery guided tour https://www.balblair.com/ by way of Dornoch and saw lots of seals on the sand bars and swimming in the loch. It was intriguing to see how single malt whiskey is made and sample it —it had a lovely floral aroma but was fiery as it went down! Definitely small sips for that one. At some point in the day we stopped at Dornoch Cathedral and viewed it’s beautiful stained glass windows one of which was in memory of Andrew Carnegie who grew up in the area —it’s other claim-to-fame is it where Madonna married. http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.u...ral/index.html We had a lovely day with Dougie and were so glad we chose this particular tour.

We also did a tour with Dougie of Highland Tours. We visited Dunrobin Castle, which was fabulous, as was Dougie. I highly recommend him.

Last May did a private tour with Scotland Taxi Tours. Had a 7 hour tour and with 8 of us cost $50.US p/p. Some of the places we visited were Urqhart Castle, Cawdor Castle, Culloden Battlefield, Beauly and Dingwall. I was impressed at how much we did see in 7 hours.

Thanks for your recommendation LTC. We are going with them July, so nice to hear from someone who has used them. We hope to pretty much see the same sites you did .May I ask where you stopped for lunch? Did you go to Inverness at all?
