Stunning scenery, Gaelic speaking guide
Katherine_D
, May 2022
The best thing about this tour was being able to soak in the scenery of this beautiful place for an entire day! Our tour guides, Kyle and Luke, had plenty of information, background stories, music and jokes to share. Kyle is an experienced driver (which really helped since I’m prone to travel sickness) and had extensive knowledge of the history and language of places we visited. We especially liked hearing him speak Gaelic and explaining what the names of places meant. We made plenty of stops to breathe in the fresh air, walk around and take pictures.
Response from Host , May 2022
Hi there, thank you for your review!
Skye is really beautiful, so I'm glad you enjoyed it with Kyle and Luke! It's great to hear that Kyle was a great driver which helped with your travel sickness and that they were full of knowledge about where you're visiting! You'll have to start Gaelic lessons so you can learn what even more Scottish place names mean. Hopefully we will see you on another tour soon as well to show you even more of Scotland!
Best wishes,
David
Great!

Great tour guide!! Very informative and educational. Great tour if you like getting out a lot to take photos outside of the bus although after a long day can be tiring. Was not aware the price included the bus and to the castle but not actually to get in the castle itself.
Response from Host , May 2022
Hi there, Amy. Thank you for your review!
We do keep the prices of the optional extras out of the main price of our tour to keep it fair for those who may not want to take part in those activities. I'm really glad to hear that you had a great driver-guide and that they were really informative and educations. I hope you got some brilliant photos and hopefully we will see you on another tour some day soon!

Marita, our tour guide, was super nice and funny. She made the experience extremely pleasant even though the weather didn't cooperate to give us the best views. The weather did allow us to see some amazing waterfalls, as the rain was rather consistent all day.
Even with the rain is was a beautiful experience and one I would recommend to anyone!

I loved the photo opportunities, just make sure you bring something to wipe the lens with to dry off the rain when you get back to the bus.

We picked the worst day to take this your as it rained the whole day. Our driver Ryan was great and made the most of it, but some things we just couldn't see because of the cloud cover. Still was a great time anyway.
Response from Host , May 2022
Hi there, Mary. Thank you for your review!
I'm sorry to hear that you weren't so lucky with the weather, but it does give you that authentic Scottish experience I suppose! I'm glad it didn't ruin the tour though and you still had a great time with Ryan as your driver-guide. Hopefully we will see you on another tour soon - with better weather!
Best wishes,

The trip is totally worth every penny! Our guide, Ryan, was entertaining and very informative. He made the experience special by providing historical information as well as helpful hints and funny stories. He added a personal touch by including some stories about his own experiences. The scenery is beautiful and cannot be imagined without taking this trip in person. Thanks Ryan!

Day spent with Amazing views and photos at isle of skye
shikha_S
, May 2022
Julian was our guide and it was a big bus with around 30+ people. Even with so many people on board everyone was on time and the trip went on as scheduled with lot of photo stops and breaks. Eilean Donan castle was amazing and so was the Isle of Skye. We stopped at lot of places to capture the beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean, waterfalls, Old man of store, kilt rock etc. Only suggestion is that the guide should speak bit loudly on the mic so that he is audible till the last seat.
Response from Host , May 2022
Hi there, thank you for your review!
It's great to hear that Julian was such a great guide on your Isle of Skye tour from Inverness and that everything was on schedule despite being a bigger tour. The sights on Skye are stunning, so I'm glad you had plenty of stops to appreciate them and get some great photos. Thank you for your feedback about the mic as well. Hopefully we will see you on another tour some day soon!

Hi there, Shona. Thank you for your review!
I'm happy to hear that your guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I'm sorry there was no where available to eat in Portree, we always recommend taking a wee packed lunch along with you just incase! Hopefully we will see you on another tour some day to show you even more of Scotland!
