TAXI SERVICES

We offer a fully licensed and insured taxi service to and from Strathglass, Glen Affric, Inverness and the surounding areas. We can meet you from the airport, train station, bus station or pretty much anywhere in the surrounding areas taking you to your chosen destination. Booking is recommended especially for any unsocial hours. Please use the Contact Us page.

Please note that we can no longer offer short runs from Cannich as we no longer have a driver based in Cannich.

TAXI TOURS

Are you visiting Inverness or Invergordon in the Scottish Highlands? We offer a customised tour for "up to four people", "up to six people" and "up to eight people", going where you want to go, seeing the things you want to see and spending as much time in these places as you want. We are not like the tour buses which shove you on a coach going round at the pace of the slowest person. You control the tour - it's your day after all! If you are arriving at Invergordon on a cruise ship we can meet you outside the port and return you back at the gates or within the town centre for you to explorer the murials.

Minimum tour duration from Inverness is 6 hours depending where you are going. Tours from Invergordon are all day tours. Why, I hear you ask? The attractions in the Scottish Highlands are quite wide apart and sometimes you may have an hour's drive to get there so please bear that in mind.

Tours are charged in 3 categories, 1-4 passengers, 5-6 passengers and 7-8 passengers. If you want a larger vehicle than the number of passengers the higher amount is payable. Contact us for prices. We may be able to accept €uro and US$ (based on the Post Office's buy back rate on the day). Please also look at the "Frequently Asked Questions" at the bottom of this page.

Frequently Asked Questions about our tours...

Q. How do I secure a booking?

A. Once we have discussed your tour and agreed on timescales We'll send a PayPal invoice for 10%. This secures your car. Balance payable on the day. Deposit refunded if the ship fails to dock (cruises only). Please also refer to our Terms and Conditions. Paying a deposit confirms you have read and agree to these.

Q. Can I pay the balance by card?

A. Due to costs incurred by the processing company we are no longer able to accept card payments in all cars. We accept cash in sterling (£) although we may be able to accept Euro and US Dollar at the Post Office Buy Back rate on the day. This is driver dependent so please ask if you would like to pay this way.

Q. Should I tip the driver and how much?

A. Tipping is not obligatory in the UK but no driver is going to refuse it from you and it shows them you have appreciated their time and knowledge. The best way to look at it is have you enjoyed your day and has the driver been courteous, knowledgable and fun? If yes, then by all means consider a tip. How much? Well make your starting point 5% of the tour price. If your driver was above average consider giving more if you want. If below average maybe a little less. Be assured that 100% of your tip stays with your driver.

Q. Where can I leave comments about my day?

A. If you have not had a great day please come to us first so we can discuss things first. If you have had a great day let others know on TripAdvisor. The link is *here*.

**Nature is a beautiful thing up here and many forms of wildlife can be seen on our tours but because everything is in their natural surroundings we cannot guarantee sightings.

# Time permitting.

PLEASE NOTE: My aim is to get all passengers back to the ship 45 minutes to an hour before the ship is scheduled to leave. If you choose to do additional activities to the agreed itinerary or take longer inside venues and it means that you miss the boarding of your ship, I and any driver working with me or on behalf of me, cannot be held responsible for any additional costs that may be incurred by yourself to re-board the ship AND that the agreed amount for the agreed tour with myself is still payable to myself or my driver at the end of the tour.
