Luxury Private Tours
InvernessTours.com is perfect for the visitor who wants a tour of Inverness and other northern towns combined with the very best that Scotland has to offer. They are exclusive, can take you one way or on a round trip and include collection from the airport, station or your accommodation. Yet, although it is your own personal tour, amazingly, for family/friends groups of five or six, our shorter tours can cost as little as £12 per person. Our InvernessTours.com is also fascinating reading for anyone visiting the area.
Our Exclusive Tours are personally guided by Tony Harmsworth who is a a local historian who has researched, designed and staged exhibitions on the Picts, Scots, Ice Age, Jacobites, Macbeth, Great Glen and much more.

All exclusively for you.
Here are a few examples of what Tony can offer you:
'Inverness, Culloden and Cawdor Castle' – an all day tour taking in the sights of Inverness and then the moody location of the last major battle fought on British soil where Tony will take you on an informative guided walk, followed by a visit to Scotland's finest medieval keep - the romantic and exciting Cawdor Castle.
'Glen Shiel, Isle of Skye and Western Highlands' – a long, but spectacular all day tour taking in some fabulous scenery including the romantic isle and a ferry journey. Also the stunning Eilean Donan Castle.

‘Forts and Castles’ – a day or half day adventure taking in castles such as famous Cawdor, peaceful Brodie, ruined Uquhart, restored Eilean Donan or the magnificent fortress of Fort George.

A Loch Ness Cruise can be added, plus visits to Urquhart Castle and the Loch Ness Exhibition.
