Traveler reviews
Not Worth It
We were able to get on the bus and had to sit up too because all of the seats downstairs were soaking wet. Because of the amount of people we sat in the open air portion where we were constantly getting hit by tree branches and rained on from the trees. Then we missed our stop for Inverness Castle because the stop was never announced. We then ended up getting off the bus at the cathedral and walked to the castle for our tour check in. We never returned to the bus deciding it was just better and easier to walk around then trying to figure out where stops are.
Gives you a good idea of the city
Pleasant enough. The info isn’t always in sync, so not easy to see what they’re talking about. Linda on board was very helpful. The bus stops by where the boat tour goes from. We didn’t feel like walking much so served its purpose. Sat downstairs and got good enough views.
The tour bus driver and...
The tour bus driver and helper were very nice and funny. However, the bus ride itself felt a bit boring.
Nice way to see city
I enjoyed the bus, clean, well maintained, driver and attendant very friendly and helpful! Would do again for sure!

Got kicked off furthest point from the start because the driver didnt want to finish the route, 2h 20 walk back to bus station
