What To Expect
The Old Man of Storr
Old Man of Storr – Isle of Skye’s Most Iconic Landmark Discover one of Scotland’s most photographed and instantly recognisable landscapes on this unforgettable visit to the Old Man of Storr. Towering pinnacles of ancient rock rise dramatically from the rugged Trotternish Ridge, creating a scene straight out of a fantasy film. Whether bathed in golden morning light, shrouded in mist, or dusted with snow, the Old Man of Storr offers spectacular photo opportunities at every turn. Standing beneath its towering spire, you’ll understand why it has captivated travellers, artists, and filmmakers for generations. Highlights: Hike to Skye’s most iconic natural landmark Enjoy panoramic views over the Sound of Raasay Perfect for photographers and nature lovers alike
Kilt Rock
Kilt Rock & Mealt Falls Perched high above the Sound of Raasay, Kilt Rock is one of the Isle of Skye’s most striking coastal features. Its towering cliffs are made up of vertical basalt columns and horizontal bands of sandstone, creating a pattern that resembles the pleats of a Scottish kilt — a breathtaking tribute to the island’s heritage carved by nature itself. From the viewing platform, you’ll also witness the spectacular Mealt Falls, a sheer cascade that plunges 60 metres directly into the sea below. Highlights: See the unique basalt cliffs of Kilt Rock, shaped like a tartan kilt Watch Mealt Falls tumble directly into the sea Take in sweeping coastal views and spot seabirds

5.00David picked us up at our hotel and showed us all around Isle of Skye. He was very knowledgeable. The weather was not great, but we managed to hike the fairy pools and he accompanied us and took pics for us. We all enjoyed his tour, and would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a private tour.
Unforgettable Day Exploring Skye !

5.00We had an absolutely incredible experience touring Northern Skye with Dave as our guide! He was so accommodating — picked us up right from our stay and treated us to a full day exploring some of the island’s most breathtaking spots. Without him, we would have had to face the challenge of driving those winding roads ourselves! Our adventure included hiking across Skye’s legendary Trotternish Peninsula, climbing the Old Man of Storr and hearing the story of how a fairy’s spell turned an old man and his wife to stone so they could be together forever. 💕 We also stopped at the dramatic Kilt Rock cliffs, hiked down to Lealt Falls, and explored the surreal terrain of the Quiraing and the wonderfully windy Fairy Glen! If you’re visiting Skye, don’t miss a tour with Dave — his local knowledge, flexibility, and love of Skye truly made our trip unforgettable!
Fantastic experience, beautiful views.

5.00Me and my girlfriend had a great time checking out the local sites with David. He was very knowledgeable and up for a laugh. We also stayed at their Airbnb (The beach house) in the cabin outside which was very lovely and had spectacular views, also a sauna and a hot tub! We would definitely recommend this tour and if you’re looking for somewhere to stay the Airbnb is spot on too. 10/10
Amazing day

5.00David was an amazing guide and was incredibly accommodating. He was able to provide a great itinerary but also provide suggestions on spots and things to do impromptu as the tour went on. I would highly recommend him as a true professional and ability to guide your group based on their interests

5.00The time we spent exploring the Isle of Skye with David was absolutely unforgettable! We did a 2 day tour, experiencing the magic of both North and South Skye. David shared his love of the Isle, showing us stunning views and special hidden spots. His passion for the island made every moment special. We felt like we were touring with a friend instead of a tour guide we had just met. We enjoyed every stop at our leisure, never feeling rushed. David drove us all over the Isle sharing interesting information along the way. Be sure to prepare for the changing weather. We had sun, mist and a bit of heavy rain, It all added to the experience. If you find yourself in the Isle of Skye, I highly recommend you book tours with David and experience the magic. He will provide the perfect tour for you!

5.00We had an incredible experience with David on the Isle of Skye. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and so easy to work with as we customized our tour. He knew all the best spots for sightseeing and guided us on some beautiful hikes we never would’ve found on our own. Having a driver was truly the best way to see the island—it made the whole experience relaxing and unforgettable. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Skye!

Superb Comprehensive Tour of the Isle of Skye

5.00We wisely decided to leave the car in the hotel parking lot and hire a private tour of Skye. I have to say it was one of the best decisions we made on our trip. David was an outstanding guide and really took great care of us. He took us to all the major sites on Skye and provided very informative and interesting commentary. With David doing the driving too, I was able to relax and enjoy the magnificent scenery without having to worry about treacherous roads (which describes most all of them) and parking. David made it a superb day for us and we have many great photos and memories of this truly remarkable island. If we go back, not only would I hire David again but I would also stay in one of his BnB units. I am confident his attention to those would be every bit as good as his attention and care for his tour guests.
