3 Day Tour to Inverness and Skye - Sep 2026

Booked the 3-day tour to Inverness and the Isle of Skye with my sister, and we had the best time ever! The tour guide was super fun and knew A LOT about every place, including some legends and interesting stories. We had “bad weather” on one of the days (lots of rain and wind, but it was already expected), and yet the tour guide made our experience great! The B&B that the company booked for our 2 nights in Inverness was also the best: super cute and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Mountains, monsters, lochs and bagpipes!

This is a very focused tour of the Scottish Highlands which provides first time visitors with a great feel for the famous lochs and mountains. Glecoe and Quairing are absolutely breathtaking and they were rendered even more magical when our tour guide/driver, Hugh Mackay, dressed in a kilt, began playing his bagpipes. He’s a true son of Scotland with deep knowledge of the land and its history. Although we didn’t glimpse the Lochness monster we got great views of castles and ruins and learned a lot from Hugh. The accommodation was excellent as was the breakfast. This was a small group tour, only 15 of us, so was cozy and we had lots of opportunities to ask questions. If you want to explore individual places like Portree or Piltochry then this might not be the one for you But if you’re happy with everything taken care of and a great feel for the highlands then go for it. You won’t regret it!

A Great Guide Makes A Great Trip

Our driver and guide, Dougie, was a delightfully enthusiastic fountain of humor, local knowledge, Scottish history, and wee helpful tips that enhanced our trip. I truly miss his silliness. The beautiful Scottish countryside is not to be missed - there’s nothing like it. We’ve had several great experiences with Viator… I highly recommend them.

A great tour of the Highlands

Chris was an excellent guide and driver. He was entertaining, knowledgeable, and passionate about Scottish history and culture. In booking this tour, you are choosing breadth over depth but I loved how much of the country we were able to see, the magnificent landscape, and breathtaking sights. I liked that I got a sense of the country outside of major cities. It's definitely a lot of time on the bus but Chris made the trip fun and educational. The accommodations were fine, our group of about 30 was split up among 6-8 B&Bs.
