5.00The tour could not have been better. Cliff was a fantastic tour guide he was telling us all the history of every part of Scotland that we passed through to get to Isle of Skye. He is also a very good hiker and photographer and gave us tips to get the best photos of the stunning scenery. Will recommend to everyone who is visiting Scotland.
We would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wanted to experience an authentic Scottish Highlands experience

5.00The Isle of Skye 3 day tour was fabulous. We saw so many breathtaking places, experienced a mixture of weather & had a fantastic guide/driver in Dusty. Dusty was very knowledgeable of Scottish history, it’s myths & legends which kept us entertained & he had a Scottish playlist for us to listen to on the mini bus when he wasn’t doing his commentary, which added to the atmosphere. The tour was everything we had hoped for and more.
Amazing trip through...
