A1 Inverness Tours Private Loch Ness and Glen Affric Tour from Inverness. History, Mystery and Heritage with Natural History and Wildlife - Nine Hours

The "Spirit" one of the boats used during our Loch Ness and Glen Affric Guided tour.A tailored tour to Loch Ness and Glen Affric picking you up from Inverness airport, station or hotel and building in the very finest day tour in the whole of Scotland. You choose your detailed itinerary which can include a Loch Ness cruise, the Loch Ness 2000 exhibition, Urquhart Castle and many other local attractions. If you prefer to avoid the tourist traps we can do that too, taking you to isolated prehistoric stone circles, magnificent viewpoints, waterfalls and other fascinating locations. Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, Ranil Wickremesinghe and his wife on a Loch Ness and Glen Affric Tour

After time for lunch in the charming village of Drumnadrochit we head west into Glen Affric for some short walks in the last of the great Scottish Caledonian Forest. Enjoy walks beside rapids, waterfalls, among magnificent Scots pines and through heather to incredible Highland viewpoints. 

This is almost an identical tour to that taken with one of our independent guides in 2003 by the former prime minister of Sri Lanka, Ranil Wickremesinghe and his wife. Here they can be seen on one of the lovely heather lined paths through the most stunning scenery.  Don't worry though, a team of inconspicuous armed bodyguards were always within twenty metres. They were none too amused when they discovered that there was no mobile phone signal anywhere in this nature reserve! The Wickremesinghes, though, enjoyed some well-earned peace and quiet.

All the time you are in the company of a history enthusiast or historian who can present the Loch Ness story with authority and inside knowledge. Our guides also have a great understanding of the region's natural history.

It is possible to visit Glen Affric by self-drive, but with our independent guides you will learn all about the saving of this forest from destruction in the nineteen fifties and how it has been nurtured back to a state of natural regeneration. In addition, without the concern of having to negotiate our narrow or single-track roads, you will thoroughly enjoy your experience instead of missing all of the fascinating scenery as you concentrate on driving. Dr Curran's Red Deer photograph taken while on a walk during one of our Loch Ness and Glen Affric tour.

Today Glen Affric it is a nature reserve and a wonderful place to visit, with regular sightings of deer, osprey, red squirrel, heron, foxes, golden eagle and pine marten. This picture of a deer was taken by one of our passengers, Dr Kathy Curran. It has been neither cropped nor zoomed as can be seen from the depth of field!

If your itinerary will permit you to take an all day tour, then this really is the crème de la crème. 

Price: £240 for up to six passengers.
