Overview

An amazing 5-day Private Guided Tour (your group only) from Aberdeen to Orkney and then Inverness.
Your guide will pick up in Aberdeen and take you on a fascinating historical tour on route to the Ferry Terminal in Aberdeen. The route will depend on your pickup location.
We spend two days in Orkney exploring the amazing historical sites. The tour is private and will be set to your own pace.
On Day 4 we return to the Scottish Mainland via a short Ferry Journey and on route to Inverness, we will visit Dunrobin Castle and the Culloden Battlefield.
Day 5 we start the day with a Loch Ness cruise which includes Urquhart Castle and a hunt for Nessie. We then head to Aberdeen for drop off.

This is a private tour for your group only and route/itinerary can be changed to suit.
