Lovely experience. Stories were entertaining. Seating was quite comfortable but get there early because the bus fills up quickly.

Excellent introduction to Isle of Skye and Eileen Donan castle. Very long day but full of wonders. Dont look for “Viator” sign or bus at train station. Look for a third party transport. Ours was a “Timberbush” bus. Our guide Atis was knowledgeable, capable, and amusing. We really enjoyed the day.
