    Scotland Highlands and Isle of Skye are amazing 😍 so beautiful and unique landscape, the countryside is so serene and scenic. We were so lucky to have 3 wonderful guides : Tom, Ryan and Robert. Thank you to all the 3 musketeers who made our experience so special and awesome. Scotland has so much history and fascinating tales, myths and legends. Every day we learnt something fascinating about the new places that we visited. Tom and Robert also taught us a few Gaelic words and played Scottish traditional music. Robert even sang his own song to us. We really enjoyed our 5-day tour in Scotland Highlands and Isle of Skye with them. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see Scotland.

    Absolutely amazing experiences! Scotland is lovely - the locals are friendly and helpful, the scenery is spectacular, the history is dark and deep resulting in such depth I haven't seen elsewhere. Our tour guide was phenomenal - knowledgeable, witty, humourous and well organised. He knew so much of the history, the routes and alternatives around winter closures - Owen, thank you for making this such a great trip!
