Invergordon Cruise Excursion to Dunrobin Castle, Dornoch and more

Posted By : Sanjoy_H
We really enjoyed our tour with Alistair - he's very knowledgeable, very well-spoken and easy to get along with (and also, very funny). This part of Scotland is gorgeous and the sights and sounds kind of sold themselves but, if anyone were to ask me what my favourite parts were, my answer would be the gardens at Dunrobin and the very story-book quality of the little town of Dornoch where we stopped for lunch.

This was a sort of primer for us on the charms of Scotland and we were definitely sold! We'll be back, for sure!

Our cruise ship was 30 minutes late, but Go Highlands waited and sent us on our way in the private van with 5 of us. We were told ahead of time that George would be our guide, but he wasn't, unfortunately. Our guide was ok, but we couldn't hear him in the back seats, and he just didn't seem that interested. First stop was Glenmorangie Distillery, but it wasn't open yet. (You'd think the guide would have known that.) We did get to see the Millionaire's Viewpoint and lots of scenery before reaching Dunrobin Castle. It is an amazing site inside and out. Wandering throughout the castle was informative and each room was full of interesting items. The gardens are spectacular. We ended up back in Dornoch where we were left on our own to explore the cathedral and the small town area. Our guide did offer to stop by Glenmorangie on the way back to the port, but we were running short on time by then and declined. Overall, a good way to spend the time in port to see The Highlands but, to be honest, this particular private tour experience didn't compare as favorably to the many others we've done elsewhere.

Alistair Kennedy was a very personable & knowledgeable guide. Interesting facts about all the places we visited. Plenty of time at Dunrobin castle. We would highly recommend his small group tour!!

Our day with Allistar was outstanding. His knowledge of the region and his desire to deliver a great experience for us prevailed through the 7 hours we were together. The castle and gardens were quite beautiful. The falconry exhibit was a highlight. We were given lunch options and subsequently chose a delightful cafe that served a sumptuous lunch. So glad we took this trip. You will not be disappointed in this company and their services.

It was a nice trip. A visit to an interesting castle and a very pretty village. A bit of Scottish banter along the way. My only gripe is the price £125 each for a coach trip. This may be the going rate but it is still a bit steep.
