    Great trip with interesting stops. Way better than the Hogwarts train tour. Be prepared for significant weather changes in the highlands. Such great scenery throughout the entire trip!

    We left from Inverness and went to the aisle of Skye. This was about a 12 hour tour, most of which was driving due to the distant but it was completely worth it. Our tour guide was Alan ( not 100% sure of the spelling of his name), but he as great! He made enough restroom stops and snack breaks. We had lunch in Portree which was super cute! I definitely enjoyed this excursion and I think you will too!

  • Must Do Tour!

    Experience to do at least once, we saw so many different places in a single day thanks to the many stops, we saw the most famous lochs such as Ness, but also the less known ones, our guide Mike was prepared and nice, passionate about his work
