5 Day Tour of the Highlands, Isle of Skye!

5.00We had a wonderful tour of the Scottish Highlands and Isle of Skye with Noel as our guide. Noel is extremely knowledgeable, patient and funny. His love for Scottish history is contagious. From climbing to the top of Neist Point to get our pictures in 75 mph winds to having us find eternal youth by dipping our faces in the sligachan river to surprising us with delicious local tablet (only the best for my guests) Noel was the perfect host. We asked to extend the 3 day tour to 5 and Noel was able to accommodate us. He helped to find lodging and food reservations at local spots when all seemed to be filled. Really, couldn’t ask for more!!
Six stars for Bonnie Scotland!

5.00So glad we booked with Bonnie Scotland Tours for this truly magical adventure! Noel was just an amazing, knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating guide who made this fantastic tour all the more enjoyable. His planned itinerary was perfect, packing a lot in without us every feeling like it was too rushed or overwhelming. Having the private tour also allowed us to stop a few places of our own preference. Starting with the initial booking the communication was helpful and friendly, from knowing what to pack to where to make reservations for dinners. During the trip, Noel had fun tales to tell, great music to play, and much information to share about each place we visited and Scotland's history. Especially in Skye with its narrow roads, we were grateful for his driving expertise. The trip through the Highlands and around Skye with all of the incredible sights and history is most definitely a worthwhile way to spend three days (or four if you have them), and Bonnie Scotland provided something above and beyond the experience we have had on other guided trips. I couldn't recommend more highly!
Great team - great tour

5.00If you're dreaming of a magical trip through the Scottish Highlands, look no further than Bonnie Scotland Tours! From the very first contact with Noel, the owner, I knew we were in for something special. Unlike other tours with rigid itineraries, Bonnie Scotland Tours offers a completely customizable experience. Noel worked tirelessly with us to craft a 4-day itinerary that perfectly captured our interests. He was incredibly accommodating to all our scheduling requests and changes, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. It felt like he was genuinely invested in creating the perfect Scottish adventure for us. The star of the show was definitely our tour guide, Stuart. His kindness and knowledge were only surpassed by his passion for Scottish history. Stuart wasn't just a guide, he was a captivating storyteller who brought the past to life. We learned so much and were constantly entertained by his engaging tales. Throughout the entire trip, we felt cared for and looked after, and by the end, we were sad to say goodbye to Stuart's wonderful company. I cannot recommend Bonnie Scotland Tours highly enough. This experience exceeded all our expectations, and it's safe to say we left a part of our hearts in the Scottish Highlands. One thing's for certain: when we return to explore more of this majestic region, Bonnie Scotland Tours will be our first and only call!

5.00Stuart's three-day tour was incredible! The 16-year-old Scotch whisky was delicious, and the opulent van made us feel like kings. A real highlight was the trip to Dunvegan Castle, where the masterfully narrated tale of the Fairy Flag was presented. Stuart's cultural insights added an extra layer of significance to the experience. We will always treasure the memories, and we are incredibly grateful for the amazing experience. This tour is highly recommended by us!

5.00Our 3-day private luxury tour through Glencoe, the Isle of Skye, and Loch Ness was an absolute thrill ride! What made it truly exceptional was the way the tour was tailored to our preferences. From the dramatic landscapes of Glencoe to the enchanting Dunvegan Castle and the boat trip on Loch Ness, everything was perfectly aligned with our adventure-loving spirits. The rugged grandeur of Glencoe left us in awe, while Neist Point offered breathtaking views of the coastline. But it was the visit to Dunvegan Castle and the opportunity to hear the enthralling story of the fairy flag that added a touch of mystery and history to our journey. What's more, Noel, our guide, was an absolute gem. He was not only knowledgeable but also attentive to our preferences, ensuring we got the most out of each location. His sense of humor and passion for the Island added a layer of joy to every moment. If you're an adventure enthusiast like us, seeking a personalized experience, this tour is an absolute must-do.
