Review of the Loch Ness cruise and Urquhart Castle tour from Inverness, with practical advice on timing, value, guides, weather, and what to expect.
“We were apprehensive about doing an Organizer trip but this exceeded all expectations and was fabulous. Kieran was absolutely fantastic. He was informative and fun. Everything was clear and the time at the castle was just right, not too long. The route back differed which was great as we also had an amazing unexpected experience feeding the local Highland Cattle. Absolutely brilliant.
