As you can see by the photograph of myself these mountains are my front garden in the beautiful village of Lochcarron Wester Ross in the Scottish Highlands close to the famous Applecross peninsular. I became a tour guide about twelve years ago because of my love of the highlands, its history and its beautiful scenery. I have been organising tours for clients arriving at Invergordon Ullapool and Portree by cruise liner also staying at the many quality hotels such as the Torridon Hotel nestling in the majestic Torridon mountains Bespoke tours have been arranged to places as varied as Loch Ness, Cawdor Castle, Isle of Skye, Applecross, Dunrobin Castle. and Speyside Whisky Tours My informal friendly style has given me 5 star ratings with all my clients as I always try to make sure that they have a memorable day. The vehicle that I use is a Ford Transit minibus with air conditioning and comfortable seating for eight passengers I also use a microphone linked to the sound system if required. I have installed a covid screen in the vehicle and the minibus is sanitised before before every tour for your safety. I am fully licensed by the local Highland Council and also fully insured. I do not accompany you inside castles distillery etc but will give you an insight as to what to look out for and give directions to entry points

We had an excellent fill day tour with John that took us to our chosen sights: l Clava Cairns, Cawdor Castle and Urquhart Castle, along with a drive through Inverness. We also had a lunch stop at the lovely Cawdor Pub. John is a very thorough and pleasant guide and I would be very happy to recommend his services to anyone.
John was a wonderful and friendly guide. He shared insights and interesting information along the way as we traveled to and from our stops. We thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent Dunrobin Castle tour and the Falcon demonstration. Very interesting! A nice lunch in Dornoch. The distillery tour and tasting at Balblair was great! Informative and the guide provided explanations how to experience the differences in whiskeys~ really helped understand the differences in what you are tasting. We loved this stop. Last stop was Genmoraignie distillery for a tasting. Overall we loved the full day tour.
John was outstanding! Our tour was impacted by the remenants of a hurricane but John was able to adjust our itinerary and still make it very interesting and informative. His knowledge of the history and culture of Scotland was outstanding. His delivery of this knowledge was spot on. He has a good sense of humor and is very personable. Highly recommended.
My friend and I booked a private tour with John. He was awesome and we had a fantastic day. We went to Urquhart and Cawdor castles, Beauly Priory, saw coos, fed Clydesdales, and stopped at interesting sites along the way that we would have never known about. John was very knowledgeable about history—we completely enjoyed ourselves!
John helped create a custom tour experience with my family of 8 after I gave him a list of all the places we were interested in seeing. Great driver, great conversation and overall a wonderful time. Would highly recommend John to anyone looking to explore the area with a local!
John provided a wonderful experience for our family's trip to Scotland. The bespoken format he specializes in enabled us to customize a vacation that fit our desire, perfectly. John went above and beyond what would customarily be considered 'services rendered.' He did this by seeking out additional information that proved to be quite valuable in our effort to learn more about our family's history in the area. Just a damn fine job!
