A great time in Scotland

Alex our Tour Guide and driver was excellent. Very knowledgeable, entertaining and a major help with accommodating my wife’s special needs. We had a great time and would thoroughly recommend Alex and the team at Highland Experience.

Isle of Sky

First of all the Isle of Sky is beautiful! Our guide Hugh made the experience amazing his knowledge and love of the highlands created a exceptional trip for all of us. He entertained us with interesting history and lore of the area, and top it by playing the bagpipes. Our B and B were also great

Unforgettable and worth every penny.

Fabulous trip that felt far longer than 4 days, due entirely to the fact our guide Kenny jam packed the entire trip with little extras, whether it was a great view of the Kelpies, or a picturesque back road. Excellent history lesson along with amusing anecdotes. 15/10.

Stunning Isle of Skye

This 4-day Isle of Skye trip exceeded my expectations! Our kilted guide Stewart was a very entertaining and knowledgeable guide. The small group size was perfect. We had plenty of time to explore (and sketch!). I really enjoyed the ferry ride and Jacobite train trip as well! Our accommodations and hosts were great. It was all inclusive so all you had to do was sit back and take it all in. Great for solo travelers, couples and families. I had a memorable time!
