    We had a great time on this tour with Steven in Inverness! It was our first time in Scotland and only had 2 days to cram as much sight-seeing as possible. This tour covered so much and I would do it over again. Steven was informative and funny with his dad jokes. We had plenty of time for pictures and to explore at each stop. I believe it was our third stop when we stopped for coffee/tea/food, there was the Cluanie Inn/Cluanie Farm across the road. I was so surprised that we got to feed a few highland coos! For me, this was the one of the highlights of the tour. I loved the fairy pools as they reminded me of my visit to Iceland in Oct 2023. My partner loved the castles. Definitely recommend if you have limited time in Scotland and want to see all the touristy places. I do want to note we visited mid October and the day of the tour, we were lucky and had perfect partly cloudy weather all day.

    It was a lovely day on the beautiful Isle of Skye, but beware… the path to the Fairy Pools is not an easy one. There is a steep hill down and then you have to climb up the other side to reach the pools. It is totally worth it, but it could be challenging depending on your fitness level.

  • Amazing tour experience

    If you are fortunate to have a sunny day this excursion to Loch Nesd and the Isle of Skye cannot be beat. Our tour guide and driver, David, was very knowledgeable and took us to some interesting places and experiences. Just a fantastic way to spend a day in the Highlands.
