Isle of Skye Private Tour from Portree
Description
The Isle of Skye is known for its ragged landscapes, picturesque fishing villages and medieval castles. Don´t forget to bring walking shoes with you. One of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the Isle of Skye is Quiraing. (Big coach cannot stop at this attraction; it will be replaced by the Neist Point). On our way back to Portree village we stop at the Old Man of Storr. After this long walk you deserve a rest at Portree village. Your tour guide will take you to a typical restaurant in the area to have some lunch. Once you have recovered your energy, we will visit Portree harbour. Our visit to the Isle of Skye would be incomplete without going to Dunvegan Castle & Gardens. PLEASE NOTE: long walks involved MISSING YOU ALREADY!!

Itinerary
The Quiraing walk is a loop which passes through some of the most spectacular landscapes in Scotland. The ridge was formed by a massive landslip which has created high cliffs and pinnacles of rock. Get your cameras ready for breath-taking views. (Big coach cannot stop at this attraction; it will be replaced by the Neist Point).
Old Man of Storr gets its name because the rock outline and the protruding pinnacle resemble that of the face of an old man. Is located in the north of the Isle.
Portree harbour which is still used by fishing boats as well as pleasure crafts.
Is the largest town and capital of the Isle of Skye in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland
Dunvengan Castle and Gardens. This award-winning castle and Highland estate steeped in history and clan legend; it has been the ancestral home of the Chiefs of the Clan Maclead for 800 years. Ticket included.

Our guide, Willie, was really accommodating about making sure we hit all the spots that were on our wish list for the day. He mapped out a route that allowed us to see everything and was open to changes along the way. He was also flexible with the timing at each stop and easygoing about our request for multiple coffee stops :).

Fiona is a lovely lass, great driver and Isle of Skye native who answered every possible question about her homeland with humor and insight. She guided us to all the beautiful natural wonders of the Isle. She took care that we were comfortable, had rest stops and arrived at Dunvegan Castle with plenty of time to tour and have “a wee bit” of refreshments. Would definitely recommend her tour!

We loved our tour around the Isle of Skye with Willie. There were 5 in our group and all had a great day. He was very knowledgeable, kind and patient. He took us everywhere we wanted to go, and to places we did not think about. No worries about parking, he would drop us off, and we would spend as much time as we wanted in any location. We were able to visit many places in just the one day, and we never felt rushed. -impossible to do that ourselves! And having a local guide was the best! Definitely recommend this tour to get the most out of your time on Skye.
Dear customer, We are very happy to know you like our tour experience.. Willie is very please & say you are very good clients many Thanks & hoping see you soon again Pilar Gonzalez Top Private tours
Had the best tour with Rab, we covered a lot of ground with the limited time we get from the ship. We covered popular areas and off the beaten path sites. Such a beautiful area and it was great doing it with a private guide, miss the crowds and control what you want to see.
Dear customer, Thank you so much for your comments... Portree is a very interesting area to visit, it is so natural area...Rab & Willie are our main suppliers on the area, great professionals .. Glad you enjoy your experience Many Thanks & hoping see you soon again Pilar Gonzalez
Willie was a fantastic guide and gave my family a very enjoyable day out. We saw quite a lot of the Island and Willie was quick to accommodate our interests and adjust to site availability as we made our tour.
Dear customer, Thank you so much for your nice comments.. glad to know you enjoy your tour experience I will pass it over to Willie .. I am pretty sure he is going to be delighted Many Thanks & hoping see you soon again Pilar Gonzalez
