It is located on the Lochalsh peninsula, at the entrance to Loch Alsh, opposite the village of Kyleakin on the Isle of Skye.

We hired Cameron to show us around for three days in Oct and we were very happy we did so. He picked us up at the ferry and took us to our B&B the first day. The next day he took us for an all-day tour around Isle of Skye and the places he took us left our mouths on the floor. The scenery is amazing there. Another day he drove us all the way from Portree to Edinburgh and dropped us off at our apt rental. Cameron is a lot of fun to have as a driver and he knows the area well. You'll be happy you hired him as were we. Thanks, Cameron!! We miss you already.

My husband and I had a wonderful day last week (Oct 2020) exploring the Northern Highlands from Inverness with Craig. Prior to our visit, I communicated with Craig via email to plan our day. I had a few things in mind that I wanted to see, such as the Culloden Battlefield, Clava Cairns and Dunrobin Castle, but mostly explained that we wanted to get a sense of the history and culture and stop and take in the beautiful landscapes and take photos. Craig delivered all that and more, exceeding our expectations, with his knowledge of the area and his delightful stories. In addition to all of the above, Craig whisked us off to a surprise visit to fascinating Wardlaw Mausoleum to learn more about the Clan Fraser (Outlander fans will understand!), Beauty Priory, Shin Falls to see the salmon leaping (yes, we did get to see actual salmon!). We had another surprise at Dunrobin Castle with a Falconry demonstration, which normally would not be operating this time of year. Many stops along the way to see beautiful vistas, Loch Fleet World Heritage site where we had a good view of the seal colony, and Clootie Well. Craig was the ultimate host, picking us up and dropping us off at our Inverness hotel, driving us in comfort, complete with safety measures of hand sanitizer and masks, and more importantly a picnic hamper full of snacks. He was very responsive and communicative before and after our trip. I highly recommend Craig as your personal tour guide to the delightful Highlands.

I booked Cameron to provide a tour of Isle of Skye for my husband and father-in-law, for my husband's 40th birthday. They had an amazing time with Cameron and said it was a trip of a lifetime! From my end, Cameron was so helpful in planning, responded quickly and pricing was reasonable for services. He also provided me updates and photos once he located the boys, so I knew that everything was going as I had planned.

Enjoyed an hour at Speyside. Knowledgable guide with a reasonable tasting ... wasn't my favorite whiskey but a nice experience.
10. Romantic Eilean Donan Castle
Leaving from Inverness, we will travel on the Great Glen, reaching the little village of Drumnadrochit on the shores of Loch Ness. After our visit, we will head west to reach the romantic Eilean Donan castle after about an hour and a half drive. Visit in the castle and lunch is a must. On the second part of our journey we will cross over to the Island of Skye and Portree and experience the island life. Please note that this is a long day and it would be ideal as a day tour rather then a shore excursion but if you would like it to be a shore excursion it can be altered to suit your requirements. This tour can be booked from Inverness, Invergordon or Portree with the necessary alterations.
