The best review I can give you is this was the 3rd time I’ve toured with Niall, and it never disappoints. As a veteran travel advisor, I can attest to what makes a great guide, and Niall checks all the boxes. As a real Highlander, Niall provides a take on the area that is unmatched. His knowledge, his itineraries, his customer service all combine to make an adventure that WAY exceeds expectations. You want an authentic tour that gives you a unique and unforgettable experience in the sublime Highlands? This should be your first and only choice.

Niall was a wonderful guide for this moving excursion. He's a storyteller & made the tour better for it. If you have an interest in Scottish history, I definitely recommend him.
Niall was absolutely fantastic! He met us right at the Inverness port and whisked us away for our tour. Once we got into the van, he placed a headset on, and everyone onboard could hear all the facts and stories he was sharing. He was thorough, as well as entertaining. We remarked afterward how glad we were that he was our guide. It was probably the best tour of our entire trip!
Had a fantastic tour with Niall seeing the area around Inverness. He had wonderful stories and great historical facts and input in addition to more modern insights. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him, you can't go wrong with booking Niall for your trip.

What are terrific tour. our guide Niall was fantastic. He provided great stories about the history of Scotland. Unfortunately we did not see Nessie. lol.
It was a wonderful tour. We saw everything we were expecting, had sufficient time for food, shopping and restroom breaks. Niall was an amazing tour guide / driver. As we reflected on our day, there was nothing that could have been improved, even the rain was light. Niall made sure all six of us had everything we needed. His history lessons on the monarchy over centuries as well as the Battle of Culloden was fascinating and just enough to understand. He regaled us with a bagpipe demonstration, was the consummate professional. He even let me buy us wooly coo from his dashboard when I passed on buying the same one at the Battlefield gift shop. That was memorable. He is an asset to the Thistle Tour Company. We were in great hands all day.
Great way to see the sights. Loved the personal tour. Donald was very friendly informative and a great escort. Loved the kilts too
Nialll was incredibly knowledgeable and pleasant. The pace was good and taking in Culloden More was fascinating.
Niall took us around the Speyside whisky distilleries. He is knowledgeable and a great storyteller. We had a wonderful time.
