★★★★★
My teen (age 17) son and I just finished a 3 day tour of isle of Skye. Our pick up was in Glasgow and our end was Edinburgh. Derek was our guide and he was the absolute best. Literally an encyclopedia for all things Scotland. This tour was probably the highlight of our amazing time in Scotland. … Highly recommend them to anyone trying to decide.
★★★★★
I booked the 5 day trip to the Highlands and Isle of Skye and what a magical trip! All the stops, locations and landscapes were spectacular (thanks to a sunny and dry weather!). Jim, our guide, is an exceptional guide who accompanied us in all activities from start to finish … His deep knowledge of the history of Scotland, Highlands and the Isle of Skye, filled with great stories and jokes, made this journey unforgettable.
★★★★★
We did the 7 day Isle of Skye/Outer Hebrides tour with Dan in Sept and it was amazing. Big shout out to Dan he was the icing on the cake. What a great guide and group we had!
