Ole of Skye

We booked the small group tour but were told passed the time to be able to cancel that we would be on a big bus instead in a large group. This cut down on where we could get and increased time getting on and off the bus. Harrison was our guide and he was fantastic. We were just disappointed with the size change that really made a difference.

Best tour guide ever

Harrison was the best and most informative tour guide! He took us to a couple hidden spots off the beaten path and it was absolutely magical. He's also very funny and has great taste in music.
