It was a great day tour with our tour guide Alex who is very knowledgeable. He drove us through all the scenic routes, telling stories and history of places for us to relate. I would recommend this tour if you want to cover all the main attractions of Isle of Skye within a day without hiking.

Fantastic tour that ran like clockwork and showed us the amazing beauty of this part of Scotland. Our guide Alex was incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable and he made our experience very special. We almost tried to do a similar route on our own by public transport and are so so glad that we booked the tour. Highly recommended!

I think that one day was the perfect amount of time to see Isle of Skye. It was a lot of fun and I had a great time! Our driver Alex was a wonderful, friendly, and a humourous guide. He had great advice based on his experiences, taking us off the route to give us short detours for amazing photo opportunities. The bus was very new and comfortable for a day trip.

Alex was a perfect and very patient guide (and very sensible driver). Our tour was well-timed and Alex made sure to give our students just enough history and some great tips of all the viewpoints along the way! Highly recommend

One day was the perfect amount of time to see Isle of Skye—I had a great time! Alex was a wonderful, knowledgeable, and humourous guide. He maneuvered hard roads with ease and I never felt unsafe. He had great advice based on his experiences, taking us off the route to give us short detours for amazing photo opportunities.

The experience itself was very good, unfortunately due to a mechanical issue the tour bus never showed up and no replacement bus was available. They had to reschedule to the next day and part of our party was not able to make it.

This tour was amazing! Our guide Karen did a great job explaining the history of the area and the scenery was absolutely stunning! The Isle of Skye is a must see when traveling to Scotland!
