Inverness, its History, Legends & Beauty

We (5 adults) came in on a cruise ship and want a more personal tour than the typical packed cattle bus that the cruise ships offer. After several positive reviews, we decided to go with Neil M. We booked an all day tour. Neil was very professional and very informative. He communicated with me prior to the tour so we were prepared and experienced no unwanted surprises. He met us once we were off the ship. His vehicle was new and clean. Neil was very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable of the Inverness area. We enjoyed driving by Loch Ness as Neil explained the history. We also visited Cawdor Castle and Gardens which we thoroughly enjoyed. The castle is furnished and currently being lived in. The audio tour was very interesting. Different than the other castles we had visited. The gardens were incredible. I would highly recommend a visit here. We also enjoyed Clava Cairns and the Culloden Battlefield. Neil did a great job explaining the history of both. Neil also offered us a wee bit of whiskey tasting towards the end of our tour which we enjoyed. While we were concerned about getting back to our ship an hour before it sailed, he made sure we did. We felt very comfortable, safe, and educated the entire time. I would recommend Neil Munro (Whiskey and Tweed). 5-stars!

Our entire multi-generational family of 7 really enjoyed our full day with Neil. He met us at the designated cruise ship location with a nice vehicle that was well-stocked with comfort items, including water. Neil did a wonderful job of comfortably keeping us on schedule while ensuring we hit all the important sites of the day, including Loch Ness and the fascinating Clava Cairns. Neil has a great knowledge of the area- his long family history on the Isle of Lewis really shined through. He was very kind in accomodating the mobility needs of our family and even made a special stop at a tweed shop that was delightful! We would, without hesitation, recommend Neil to other groups- he is a true professional Thank you, Neil, for an unforgettable day!

We had a delightful and informative time with Neil, exploring Inverness and the surrounding sites, particularly the Culloden battlefield. Neil was a wealth of knowledge. The tour was everything we expected and hoped it would be. We highly recommend Neil.

Neil was a wonderful guide and very casual but professional. Very knowledgeable and had some nice touches , like cold water bottles for all of us. Very obliging to our needs. Very clean Mercedes Van. Great tour.

Neil was an excellent guide! He was very knowledgeable, personable, and a great driver. We thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with him.

If you're searching for tour guide who is kind, personable, accommodating, and full of intimate knowledge of Inverness and Scotland's history, look no further! Neil is absolutely WONDERFUL and extremely professional, while still making you feel like he could quickly become your friend. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour, especially in Neil's nice, spacious, air conditioned van! We were sad when it was all over because of how much we enjoyed ourselves. Neil is the real deal! You won't regret booking with him.
