Review of the Invergordon Highland tour to Cawdor Castle, Culloden, Clava Cairns, Loch Ness, and Highland cows.
“We had an absolutely amazing tour with Avril. It wasn't like any other tour we've taken as it was a small and much more personal experience. Avril even made sure we made it to Cawdor castle before the crowds, which gave us more time to really explore the castle and its grounds at our leisure. She was extremely knowledgeable, very communicative (even before the tour), and had a wonderful sense of humor. This was by far our favorite excursion of the entire trip and would highly recommend it to anyone cruising to Invergordon.”
