I'm Neil M., your private tour guide in Inverness

Guide #38228

Hi there! I'm Neil and I've lived in the Highlands of Scotland almost all my life. More than 8 generations of my family have been born and bred here and my clan, The Munro clan, is one of the largest in the area - you don't get all that without picking up a bit of local knowledge in the process!! I can driver-guide you on any tour you'd like to take from castles to distilleries, amazing views to quiet beaches and the famous Loch Ness to the scenes of Outlander, Scotland has it all. Local knowledge and stories that they don't always put in the history books really make the places we visit come alive and will stay with you for years to come. I will collect you from your accommodation, whether that's central or rural, or directly off your cruise ship from the ports of Invergordon, Edinburgh, Portree or Ullapool and return you there at the end of your tour. I drive an air conditioned, 8-seater Mercedes-Benz with leather interior, privacy glass and charging points for your convenience. Travelling this way ensures that everyone is comfortable, has unrestricted views and your tour is personal, friendly and allows access to some of the less visited gems that Scotland has to offer. I love the challenge of tailoring bespoke tours to my passenger's needs so don't be afraid to ask for something different! I've lived and breathed Scotland's history, culture and heritage for most of my life and it's my love for my country that I enjoy sharing with others. I've worked in the tourism industry for over 15 years guiding walks and tours and hosting visitors to our area. I'd love to help you make memories of Scotland that will last a lifetime, all you have to do is sit back and enjoy your tour! ToursByLocals guide since 2019 and have worked in the Scottish Tourism industry for the previous 15 years. Member of the Scottish Independent Tour Operators Association (SITOA). Member of the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM). I don't have any restrictions on my tour.

    Neil went above and beyond to make sure everyone in our group was happy with the excursion. Friendly, accommodating - I can’t say enough how much better an option a tour like this is, over what is available through the cruise line. Highly recommend.

    Neil M was such a knowledgeable and humorous guide. He worked with us to create a great itinerary, patiently answered 8 million questions, and was super friendly! All 6 of us agree it was the best day of our trip and highly recommend!

    Neil was the best tour guide we had during our entire London/Scotland trip by far! His love of Scotland and his knowledge of the Isle of Skye was quite helpful for all of us to both learn and enjoy the time we had together. He made sure we were comfortable and engaged us in stimulating conversations with his wit and passion for the area. He provided us enough...

    Hi Linda. We all had a really great day out together and i really enjoyed your company and enthusiasm throughout. You made my "job" easy and i thank you all. Not even TBL could clear the rain, but i guess thats part of what makes Skye the magical place it truly is. Thanks very much for your very kind words, Neil Munro.

    This was our 2nd excursion with Neil and we specifically chose him because of our previous wonderful day. He is gracious and knowledgeable and makes sure everyone has an exceptional experience. To top it off, one person in our group lost a hearing aid during the excursion. The next day he found it in the vehicle and mailed it to us in the United States. Who does...
