Super tour!

Amazing tour, very worth it! It’s a bit rushed, but it’s nice to get to see so many things. It rained A LOT, which kind of ruined a few stops, but it’s part of being in Scotland, I guess. And you’ll probably get many beautiful pictures with rainbows thanks to all the rain. The scenery is the best part. Just riding the bus and looking outside already feels magical. Our bus driver and guide, Ewan, explained a lot to us and picked great tunes during our trip. He knows a lot and also shared some personal stories of living in Scotland. We also felt super safe with him. Some roads are very narrow but, surprisingly, it’s a two way, so it takes a lot of dancing for the cars. My favourite parts of the tour were the hairy coos (so cute!), the Loch Ness boat trip, kiltrock, glenfinnan viaduct and the highland folk museum (besides the beautiful scenery, with the mountains, lochs, sheep everywhere, cows, etc). I won’t lie, be prepared for the Scottish accent. It was hard to understand, even though I’m used to the Irish and British accents.

Wonderful 3 Day Isle of Skye tour

Wonderful Three-Day Isle of Skye Tour We had a fantastic three-day trip from Inverness to the Isle of Skye, including a memorable visit to Loch Ness. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the entire tour was well organized and enjoyable. Our guide, Craig, was wonderful—funny, knowledgeable, helpful, and always focused on our safety and comfort. His sense of humor and engaging stories made the journey even more special. It was a great trip from beginning to end, and we would highly recommend both the tour and Craig!
