We weren’t sure how we wanted to spend our day in Inverness.… read more Susan took us all around and made our day so enjoyable that we ended up staying with her all day!!

Cheers from your West Palm Beach Florida crew! Xoxo

Highly recommend.

28th June 2024We came to Invergordon on a cruise ship and we were spontaneously looking for a local private taxi tour to explore the highlands.
Therefore we called Scotland Taxi Tours which… read more is the only company allowed to be located directly at the port. So very convenient. We were told that it would be possible to get a private tour to be arranged next morning even as we called just the day before. In the morning we arrived at the office and were immediately introduced to Ian our driver for today. The car was a very nice, new larger Mercedes. We booked the 4 hours north tour with stops at a wonderful beach, Dunrobin castle, visited the smallest cathedral in Scotland, passed through very nice villages as Dornoch and had spectular views of nature and wildlife (seals!!!). And Ian was phantastic as he made the tour for us to an unforgettable experience. He knows so much about the Highlands and the people living here and had lots of stories and anekdotes to tell us. And last but not least he drove us to a little restaurant (Corner on the Square in Beauly) where we had a perfect lunch with one of the best fish chowders since long. Thank you very much again Ian for this great day.

Went to the Glen Morangie Distillery in a private taxi. It was a lot less expensive than the cruise excursion.

20th May 2024We took advantage of Scotland Taxi Tours when we ported at Invergordon.
Iain was our driver and he was amazing! We wanted a Scottish driver that could tell us… read more facts and stories about the area we were visiting and Iain did not disappoint. Having been from there he showed us above and beyond what we ever imagined.
We visited Urquhart Castle, Loch Ness, Culloden Battle field and Inverness. But between all those stops, we stopped and looked at highland cows, drove by Beauly Priory and a couple of gorgeous estates. We didn’t feel rushed and we were throuroughly entertained with Iain’s childhood stories.
We definitely recommend going with Scotland Taxi Tours just for Iain but also if you are porting in Invergordon, they are the only taxis that are allowed inside the port.
27th October 2023A wonderful way to visit and see many places base on our interest. We booked in advance with Les and Ian was our driver. Ian knows and loves is country.… read more We had a wonderful day seeing Loch Ness, Uruquart, Inverness, Dunrobin, old churchs and many other places. I highly recommand Scotland Taxi Tours.

We booked the 4 hour North Tour with Scotland Taxi Tours, whose Highlights included: departing from Invergordon (port), Glenmorangie Distillery, Millionaire’s View, Falls of Shin, Dunrobin Castle and back… read more to the ship.
The tour was very convenient as we were picked up right outside the port gate, just a short walk from the ship. This company actually had a small stand advertising their tours and it seemed that they were dealing with several bookings. Our driver was quickly assigned and his car was just parked nearby.
We proceeded to the distillery where we had a one hour tour and then proceeded to Duronbin castle through the beautiful countryside, most times near the coast line (North Sea). Although we didn’t have time to visit the castle, we took wonderful pictures outside and our driver even took us to a private road near the sea with straight views to the castle. We were told that only authorized vehicles like our taxi were allowed to use this road and the best pictures of the castle are taken from this side.
Our driver, Billy, seemed to be at ease with these tours and was very accommodating on arranging alternatives to the itinerary. To compensate that we missed the Millionaires View (due to a very cloudy sky) and the Fall of Shin (as we didn’t have time), he took us to see the Mermaid of the North and took us to a place where we were able to watch a group of seals enjoying themselves on a sand bank (with the help of some binoculars that Billy had ready in the trunk of his car), We also visited and enjoyed some free time on a small village (Dornoch). Billy has his own taxi in Tain.
In summary, it was a very good tour, exactly what we wished for and we don’t hesitate to recommend this company to anyone arriving on a ship.
17th October 2023We highly recommend Scotland Taxi Tours.
Our tour with Les was amazing! our group of 4 got off our cruise ship just planning to walk around. But… read more we met Les and his tour company, and we started talking about how we wanted to see Highland cows. Les showed and explained some different tour options. We hired him on the spot. Les tailored the tour to our group’s preferences. He was mindful of our schedule. He made stops along the way when we asked. We got to see beautiful Cawdor Castle, Culloden Battlefield, Loch Ness, Inverness city, and lovely towns along the way. And Highland cows!! There was something for everyone in our group. Les was professional and personable. Our van was comfortable and roomy. Thank you, Les, for a memorable tour! We plan to come back to see more of beautiful Scotland.

From the initial coordination with Les, who took his time to understand our objectives, to our Driver Ian, who made it a reality, this was a memory to last a lifetime.

Les picked us up (family of 7… read more including 2 under 2) right at the port and took us to seven stops in the Highlands. Including 2 castles, Loc Ness, shopping in the town of Inverness, some outlander stops we requested and a farm to see the Highland cows! This tour made everyone in our group happy & our wishes for the day come true. Les grew up in the area and takes pride in his country and it shows. We hands down recommend him and his team for everyone’s Scotland tours of the Highlands. For half the price of what the ship was charging we got to ride in comfort and see 3 times the amount if things! He also kept a perfect time schedule and got us back to our ship with plenty of time to spare!!

Our driver Mark… read more was AMAZING, taking us along the coast, saw thing we never would have on a big bus. Mark was so helpful with Bruce, getting in and out of the car and pulling up close so he didn’t have to walk as far. This was absolutely the best thing we did in our month long cruises in Europe. He was able to customize what we saw and we let him pick most things (take us to places you think are beautiful, must see etc.). Thanks Mark for a wonderful experience! Bruce and Beverly

Even the drives, from place to place, were spectacularly scenic and very comfortable in our luxurious and very roomy van. What a fabulous day!
