Super Day on Isle of Lewis

5.00Just a fantastic day and guide. Donald was fantastic and helped us see everything we had hoped we would get to visit. From a last-minute visit to a small operating Harris Tweed Mill, to a Blackhouse Village and multiple other stops - our visit exceeded our expectations.

5.00It was an awesome tour! So fun to have a local who grew up on the island! Alan was really knowledgeable and quite honest about what was worth seeing and what was an overpriced tourist spot. His English was fabulous (sometimes it is tough to understand the accent of some guides!) and a great sense of humour. Thanks Alan! We will look you up next time we visit!
Fabulous tour!

5.00This was a wonderful tour and our guide Alan was very informative and fielded a myriad of questions from our group of 6 people. He was personable, knowledgeable, and truly flexible about allowing our group to make some unplanned stops when we saw something of interest. We saw all of the usual highlights and more, including a very old church, a brief stop to see alpacas and a lunch stop for amazing vegan pizza (“Crust” pizza located in a shipping container). Our day was busy but we never felt rushed. He also tried to time our stops to avoid the large tour buses which was an added bonus. We had a lovely day and would wholeheartedly recommend the tour!
