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 travel north to the historic town of Dornoch visiting the cathedral and the Jail. We continue north spotting some seals en-route if we are lucky to Dunrobin Castle at Golspie in time for the falconry display in the grounds. We then visit the magnificent castle itself which is reminiscent of a French château. From Dunrobin we continue to a whisky tasting at the famous Glenmorangie Distillery which stands near the shores of the Dornoch Firth at Tain. After leaving the distillery we conclude the tour by taking a scenic drive over the mountains to "Millionaires' View" for a spectacular view of the Dornoch Firth, returning to your cruise ship at Invergordon via flower-filled Alness. This tour takes around seven hours and it can be amended to fit your requirements.
An excellent way to see some of the countryside - castles, falcons and hawks, cows, seals and a bit of whisky. Comfortable vehicle that accommodated one family member in a wheelchair. John knows lots but tunes his commentary to his guest’s interests and background. We are very pleased with this tour and will engage John again if in the area.
John is a fantastic tour guide. We spent a lovely day in the Highlands. The setting of Dunrobin Castle was magical. John explained everything brilliantly. He took us to lovely small distilleries and museums. We will never forget this wonderful day.
Jonny was simply the best! We really enjoyed the tour he provided us. He went above and beyond to ensure that my elderly father, who has limited mobility, was able to enjoy the entire tour. He took great care in attention to him also while the rest of us explored a bit further. Jonny is very knowledgeable about the area, passionate about history, and one of the nicest people we've ever met. He's just great. Do not hesitate to book a toor with him!
We had an amazing shore excursion with Jonny, we saw amazing scenery, dunrobbin castle, the township of Dornoch and a whiskey tasting at Glenmorangie, Jonny was the perfect guide and a very safe driver, his vehicle was modern and clean. The whole day moved at a leisurely pace, we were never rushed nor did we have too much time in places Jonny was very kind and thoughtful, I would highly recommend him for a tour in this part of the world, he has extensive knowledge but in a very easy style to listen too.
Once again Jonny did not disappoint. Excellent guide, great stories, good driving skills and very receptive for change. Highly recommend him…..
Johnny was excellent! He provided a wonderful tour and was very informative. We would book Johnny again and would do this tour again!!
