(66 reviews)
Inverness, Scotland

6 to 8 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

This is a private tour for 1–7 guests. Solo travellers are welcome, with a 2-guest minimum charge. The more guests in your group, the lower the per-person price. Savings start from 3 guests, with the best value when all 7 seats are booked. Travel at your own pace, enjoy plenty of photo stops, and experience the Highlands without sharing your day with strangers.

Your guide brings Culloden to life with years of first-hand experience at the battlefield, where he taught Highland history and demonstrated period weapons. As a local Highlander, he shares its stories, traditions, and clan history in a personal way. The day can also include Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle, Highland cows at a local farm, Beauly, or a whisky stop, depending on your chosen route and available time.

Weather, opening hours, private events, or road conditions may occasionally require changes. If so, we'll provide an equally worthwhile alternative.

    The Singleton Distillery

    Scotland is well-known for its whisky distilleries. We'll visit one that produces a 12 year old, 15 year old and 18 year old single malt whisky exclusively available to the Southeast Asian market only. If you want a Glen Ord whisky, you'll only be able to buy it from Asia or in the distillery itself. They offer their own respective tour to show how their whisky is made and for visitors to taste the distinct flavour of their whisky for additional fees. We leave this up to you to decide as you can alternatively choose to simply wander about their stunning grounds and enjoy a tasting at your own leisure in their cozy bar.
