We are a group of 6 and had a very enjoyable trip to Isle of Skye. Thank you to Brian, our tour was very informative and fun at the same time. He was very helpful all throughout the tour and made sure we are all comfortable. He even shared local snacks and a whiskey with us! Cheers!
A day we will remember all our life! Tony, our guide, gave us so many explanations and tips and he’s an historian at heart! What more could we ask? Being with someone who knows and likes his country so much is a definite Plus to any tour. I highly recommend this tour! Thank you so much Tony for having made this tour one of our most beautiful memory of our stay in your country! Dany Lafrance
We had terrible weather conditions for our day tour of the Isle of Skye, but Bryan was an awesome guide and did his best to keep our spirits up! He provided many options for things we could do if we decided not to try to see the sights based on the weather. He was also a safe driver and kind person.
our guide and driver Bryan was really nice, very friendly, He explained everything really well, even some stuff that wasn't included in the trip. We highly recommend this tour.
Bryan, our guide, was excellent. We saw far more than expected and had a wonderful day. Would definitely recommend this tour.
A full of experiences day tour with a very knowledgable guide, Bryan, who took us through the history of rhe places we visited and took the best pictures. Being in a small group certainly worth the additional cost.
Tour was great with John. He is local and has good knowledge of history. Highly recommended this tour
This was SO fantastic! It might have been the highlight of our trip to Scotland. The places we visited were absolutely stunning. Due to the small size of the tour we were able to actually see the places we visited and interact with our guide. Speaking of, our guide, Bryan, was great! Extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. I highly recommend this tour if you want a stress free way of seeing the highlands
Gordon was awesome! He was extremely knowledgeable, well-traveled, fully kilted, an amazing "vibrant" driver (always aware of making the best use of our time!), and truly loves the area he is showing you. We wondered how a long bus trip would fare with young people, but he made every mile an adventure. We didn't stay long at each place, but plenty long enough for photos and stretching our legs. The scenery is absolutely stunning, and he took us places that not everyone gets to go. He saved the best for last with the Faerie Glens! Though rainy and muddy (i.e., slippery!), we made it through every stop and enjoyed every single chilly second. The real test was at the end of our trip I asked my young adult children what was their best memory of Scotland and they said "The Isle of Skye trip" at the same time. We have photos and memories and much admiration for Gordon and his tour. We would do it all again if we're ever privileged to come back. Well worth every penny spent. The only tip I could give for improvement is to stock hot drinks on the bus or provide time to get some at the shops and cafe caravans (and not sacrifice toilet breaks or photo shoots to get it!).
My niece and I took this tour on a recent trip to Inverness and I have to say that it was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide Bryan was incredible, sharing his local knowledge and providing great information on all the places we visited. I have taken many tours while traveling around the world and have to rate this one at the top because of the areas visited and Bryan. This was a small tour with only 8 people, which added to the pleasure of the tour because everyone complied with instructions and we were able to see everything on the agenda. We made a few stops along the way for comfort breaks and had a great lunch in Portree. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting the Scottish Highlands.
Had a wonderful time. Every bit was full of entertainment. Gordon is the best guide. He did a great job. Very convenient comfortable trip . He covered all the main areas with very interesting tales. Perfect!!
