“The guide was top-notch. Very knowledgeable, but not too much kitsch, which I appreciate. The boat trip to Loch Ness and Urquart Castle site visit were well organized. The longer trip back was beautiful, picturesque, and packed with great historical information. I would have loved enough time to stop in at some of the smaller towns and sites, but I would book again. Thanks! Great value. book again. Thank”

Cruise Loch Ness for one hour, hunt for Nessie with sonar, and see Urquhart Castle from a comfortable boat near Inverness.

“The one-hour cruise fully met my expectations for our adventure on the waters of Loch Ness. While it's getting chilly this time of year (and I'd suggest a lined wind-breaker or other waterproof jacket with a hood), the upper deck was manageable. If it hadn't been, the fully enclosed lower deck would have accommodated all of us comfortable. Polite crew, good navigating, interesting lessons on the public-address - just right!”

“Absolutely brilliant day out. Amy's knowledge of the history of Scotland is contagious. Amy made the Culloden battlefield come alive with her story telling and passion for Scotland. I went as a child to Culloden but returning as an adult was sobering and reflective. I would 100 percent recommend Atom Tours, ps loved the Scottish snacks she gave us!”

Review of a private Invergordon tour covering Culloden, Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, whisky, Inverness, and Highland scenery.

“Emma was a great guide. We had a private tour with 6 in our group. She planned oyr day to what we wanted to see. She even had a wee dram of whiskey for us. The weather was rainy but we were still able to see the dolphins. Highly recommend doing the private tours as you aren’t stuffed on a bus with 50 other people.”
