A Trip and Tour Guide You Should Not Miss!

5.00Fiona was an outstanding tour guide! The bus was clean, comfortable, and Fiona provided beautiful music. Our group arrived at our starting location early, so we departed early. We were able to visit so many sites! We never felt rushed to complete a hike or a visit. Fiona was familiar with busy times at specific locations and daily weather changes, and managed to get us to and from our locations before sites were busy or rain was impending. She provided historic, cultural and necessary information before every site. The Isle of Skye is so beautiful, and we're happy we were able to be with a small group. Our accommodations were included in the two day trip to Isle of Skye. We stayed in a lovely, centrally located B&B in Portree. The room was large and clean, and the breakfast was amazing. Highly recommend!
Amazing Adventure

5.00The trip went really well and it was well planned. Our guide, Karen, was excellent and that made all the difference. She was engaging and made sure everyone was well taken care of. She knew a lot about Scottish history and kept up an interesting commentary. Highly recommend and if you can, try to book a tour with Karen :)
A fantastic trip. Though...

5.00A fantastic trip. Though it’s a bit pitiful that we only spent around one hour on Quairing, the rest of the trip is enjoyable. The landscape is absolutely stunning and weather is cool. It took a long time traveling between viewing spots, but our bus driver Stewart is very talkative and knowledgeable, so the time on bus is also interesting.
A really nice tour in an unique part of the world
