Phenomenal We scheduled this tour last minute due to other schedule changes along our travels. Since we were early in the season and they didn’t have ab entire tour booked, we ended up doing a private tour with Stuart. Not only did we get to see everything, but Stuart made each stop and everything we saw along the way completely come to life! He’s obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about the highlands and the history of the Scots. One of the best tours I’ve ever been on; can’t wait to come back and learn even more!!

Bucket list trip to Scotland Craig was our personal tour guide for the day. This was the best and most informative tour we have ever been on. Craig was very knowledgeable, friendly and even had a few good jokes :). We highly recommend spending the time and money with Happy Tours. Thank you for the memories

Wow, such a great tour! This was an incredible tour and a great way to experience the Highlands of Scotland!! Craig was our tour guide and he was so personable, engaging, humorous, and knowledgeable! He truly was excited to be taking us on the tour. The 8-person tour is a great number too, super intimate and personalized! I wish I had been in Inverness a day longer so that I could have booked another trip!

Great tour, would totally recommend Stuart was our guide on this tour. He was great! He was very knowledgeable about the historical facts and also about outlander. The tour was compact, and the group was small which added to the fun of this tour. We had lunch breaks and tea breaks. The tour started at 9:00 AM and ended at 5pm. I love that at the end we toasted with local drinks and shortbread.

Great Isle of Skye tour with Robbie We loved our tour! Robbie was funny and a wealth of historical knowledge. We learned so much and felt like we were able to see a ton and get a good taste of the region. Great option if you only have one day to spend in the area!

OUTSTANDING This was the best tour we've booked on Trip Advisor! Our tour guide, Craig, was such a pleasure! He was very excited to share all that he knew about the places we visited. You couldn't ask a bad question that he wouldn't answer. SO funny and really loved to engage with us. I would solely do another guided tour for Craig! Had a fantastic group of 7 on the bus. The 8-hour tour sounded daunting, but it flew by. Thank you to Happy Tours for such an amazing tour of Inverness! I hope to come back someday.

It was nothing short of brilliant I apologise for the late review, but I needed to say what a wonderful day we had with Craig as our tour guide. It started as a rainy day, but our spirits were not dampened as Craig made the tour a real pleasure, he was so knowledgeable and a real gent.
