Day Tours
The keynote of these tours is flexibility to fit-in with
your arrangements and to visit the gardens that are at their best at
the time of your visit.
The tours are well suited to two or three people who are staying in
or around Inverness, the capital of the Northern Highlands. Larger
groups can be accommodated.
You will be picked up in the morning and transported, by private car, through some of the best Highland scenery, to the gardens.
The car will be my own or it can, with prior arrangement, be your hired vehicle.
The most popular tour is one that visits the world renowned Inverewe Garden and the two private gardens of Gruinard and Dundonnell Houses.
It is essential that you contact me in good time so that I can make the best possible arrangements for your tour.
