Perfect Tour to fill a Day

I had an amazing day touring the route up to and the isle of skye with my wife on our honeymoon! We had Tabbie as our tour guide and she had great stories and was an incredible driver throughout the entire day! Always made sure to inform us about times, pickups, what to see, and what to eat. It was an incredible relaxing day and recommend anyone this tour!

Great Itinerary for variety and pace

I felt safe and entertained by guide Callum. I highly recommend this tour to hit the hot spots and some short stops along the way as well so you are never on the bus for long periods. Portree is a great lunch stop.

Fabulous Tour, highly recommend

Tabby our tour guide was fun and knowledgeable! The tour had many stops, some short photo ops and others longer. The Eilean Donan caste was beautiful and shrouded in misty clouds making amazing photos! We saw 11 rainbows on our tour! The fairy pools were absolutely amazing! Sun , cloud and rain made the day exactly what I expected. Isle of Skye was different than what I imagined but still exceptional. A fun little quick final stop had a beautiful creek with a tinkerbell house! A great finish to our day. Tabby's music selection when she wasn't talking was upbeat and fun!
