Enjoyable and fascinating time away

Our guide Aussie Mark was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared fascinating stories about Scotland's history and culture, making the journey even more enjoyable. We never felt rushed and had plenty of opportunities to stop for photos and take in the incredible views. It was a great trip all round 😊

Wonderful

The trip was planned amazingly. The Aussie Mark(driver and guide), kept us hooked up all the time with the stories of highland places. Only downside is the hotel bookings ! I booked the tour with accomodation(b&b with family) on the site it was written it would cost anywhere between 70-110, but reaching the accomodation they gave us two rooms(cause we were 3) which is fair but that went to 155 per room per night which was 620£ just for two nights. Instead is being between 70-110 per person for 2 nights ! Make sure to confirm with the your operator once before booking.

Isle of Skye and Loch Ness fantastic tour!

This tour to the isle of Skye is amazing! Andrew, our tour guide, stopped at many famous places on the way and the way back, national parks and lloch ness and a castle near the isle of Skye so it was a wonderful trip. The isle of Skye has gorgeous waterfalls and fairy pools and beautiful scenery plus charming villages. The accommodations were also fantastic with different b&b’s reserved by the tour operator for the guests. Andrew played gorgeous Scottish music and regaled us with stories about Scottish history along the way. Highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic and lovely trip to Isle of Skye ☁️

My family had an amazing three-day tour with our tour guide, Scot from Scotland, who made sure that we will never forget him–and what a comedienne he is. We saw beautiful sceneries in the Highlands, especially the Isle of Skye. Scotland is now my favorite place to go. As with our clever guide, I learned a lot from him and he takes good pictures! Highly recommended! 💯

Would definitely recommend

Jack is an extraordinary guide, funny and knowledgeable, always ready to answer our questions. He explained all the places we saw, and shared many stories with us. He took us to less busy and more memorable spots, and did everything to make our tour enjoyable for our group.

Highly recommend!!

As a first time visitor to Scotland, this was an incredible experience. Our driver was professional, funny and most on time. We got to see so many of the sites both popular and off the beaten track. Stunning scenery and perfect weather. Scott was very knowledgeable and provided a good mix of information and music for the drive to put us in the Isle of Skye mood.

Great Tour

Andrew was a great guide, friendly, knowledgeable and informative. We were delayed about 6 hours getting to Skye because of car crashes on both roads leading there, but he found some alternate things for us to see. Skye and the Highlands were breathtakingly beautiful. The accommodations provided were also very nice. I would definitely recommend this tour to others.
