Inverness Guided Tours: Starting in Invergorden or Inverness
Whether you’re staying in Inverness or disembarking a cruise ship in Invergorden, these Inverness guided tours won’t disappoint. See bucket list sites like Clava Cairns, Culloden Battlefield, and Loch Ness in a day.
Activity Overview
Why We Think It’s Great:
We get it, you want to be able to see Clava Cairns, Culloden Battlefield, and Loch Ness, but you don’t want to rent a car. Or, you value the skill of a local tour guide who will make the trip more memorable.
This tour is an excellent option for cruise passengers dropping off in Invergorden. If you’re already staying in Inverness, this is a great way to see these sites without a rental car as the train station is in the center of Inverness.
Aside from the convenience, having a knowledgeable guide to narrate along the way provides excellent value. We used to be strictly DIY travelers, but now we love mixing in a few guided tours for sites that interest us the most! You can see the best of our 18 Inverness Things to Do with a local guide!
