I genuinely enjoyed all Shawna’s stories and her skilful driving. The places we visited were all what I’d imagined. The misty weather made them more alluring.

We had a wonderful tour, albeit a long day (about 10 hours — shorter than advertised because of an amber alert owing to high winds and storm off the coast). Our guide, Nick, was excellent — very informative, witty, and knowledgeable. Our transportation was first class. We truly enjoyed a fabulous day — the sites are amazing and awe inspiring. The landscapes are so beautiful. We had a nice lunch in Portree as well. All in all a terrific day.

Brilliant tour from start to finish, our driver guide Dave Mac was brilliant, full of knowledge, was amusing and chatty. Dave couldn't do enough for us, we visited everywhere on the trip that was listed and a little bit more. Well worth the money spent. Would highly recommend.

Helen was a fantastic tour guide. She was hilarious with her jokes and wonderful stories. She made a 12 hour tour seem like a short day. I had such a wonderful time on the tour. We listened to Scottish music and had great fun. The bus was full but didn’t feel crowded. It was windy and rainy but I still had a great time. Wear layers and a raincoat! ;)

This was an eleven hour tour from Inverness to visit the key sights on the Isle of Skye, Portree, Lochness and Eilean Donan Castle Our guide/driver Helen was one of best (if not the best) tour guide we ever had. Interesting histories, movie histories, great music and fun stories. She was also an efffctive, conscientious and safe driver at the same time. Simply made the time on this long 11 hour tour float by. Simply the best way day trip to get a great taste of the highlands, Portree and the Isle of Skye.

It was so worth it! Ryan was an excellent, funny, interesting guide who made our first trip to Skye such a delightful experience! We felt like we were able to see so much in one day. The weather was temperamental, but we were able to see EVERYTHING and more thanks to Ryan and his planning. We dunked our faces in the the river for 7 seconds to get the wisdom and beauty of the faeries, saw stunning waterfalls, sheep, rock formations, and had the best fish sandwich of our lives in Portree! I would recommend the trip to anyone traveling to the north of Scotland:)

What a spectacular island Isle of Skye is! Even though it was a rainy day when we went, the views were incredible. Dave Mac was the perfect guide, a master at multitasking. He drove, narrated, and provided music (which was a nice balance with such a long trip). He took care of our every need throughout the trip. Don’t miss this tour to such an “unearthly” beautiful site!

What a beautiful tour of a beautiful land. Scenic waterfalls, towering mountains, picturesque villages. Each stop of the tour provided a unique setting with its own highlights. Our tour guide provided a well-rounded dialogue; humorous stories, insightful explanations of landmarks, etc. We covered a lot of ground in one day. We certainly would have enjoyed seeing more sites on a multi-day tour, but we felt we got our money's worth for the one-day tour.
