The Isle of Skye is a Mystical and Magical place that has long been associated with Fairies. This day long tour from Inverness takes you to some of these places where you can spend time walking and soaking up the Atmosphere.
The Fairy Pools at the foot of the Cuillin mountains where some visitors are tempted to swim. The Fairy Glen on the Trotternish peninsula is a lovely peaceful place with some magnificient views and beautiful walks. The Fairy Bridge where the chief of Clan Macleod saw his Fairy wife for the last time before she returned to Fairyland. The Fairy Flag can be seen in Dunvegan Castle - home of the Clan Macleod for more than 800 years.
On our way to the Isle of Skye we will also stop at Eilean Donan Castle for a photo opportunity. When Dunvegan castle is closed we will go to Portree instead of the castle and The Fairy Bridge.

A Wonderful Day Trip

5.00This is a great trip from Inverness, but note it is a long drive to the Isle of Skye and there is a lot of driving once you are on the Island itself. Weather can also be a big factor and can change suddenly. On the day we went it rained the entire time. We still had a wonderful time and our guide did a great job trying to adjust for the weather.
Best tour in Scotland!

5.00100% recommend! Billy was an amazing tour guide. The van we traveled in was well stocked with snacks, clean and safe. The knowledge and stories were amazing and we had great conversations! It is well worth the cost! Plus they let you make changes within reason to the private tour, so if you want a bit more time somewhere you can.
10/10 MUST BOOK

5.00We had a comprehensive, scenic, unforgettable tour of the Isle of Skye. If you want an intimate tour of all the main landmarks of Skye in a day without feeling rushed and feeling satisfied that you got to see all you could, this is your tour. As a side note, Dalmour 12 tastes especially good when standing on top of Quirang.

5.00I am not usually one to write reviews but I truly loved my tour with Skye Fairy Tours! It was a misty day but it was brightened up with Lawrence’s insightful knowledge of the local area and history, and his warm personality. It can be nerve racking at times travelling solo but I felt at ease with Lawrence instantly and was able to enjoy a fun filled day. We went to many sights but my favourite were the fairy pools and fairy glen. It was an amazing tour! I had researched and could not find any other tour that hit so many of the iconic spots in one tour. It is worth your time and money, you will not be disappointed!
Fantastic, would def recommend

5.00It was a great full day! We had Graham as our guide and he was fantastic. He was flexible with what we wanted to do and informed us at each stop what we were looking at and what the time frame looked like. We were travelling as a group of 5 and one being a 3yr old and Graham was so good with him!
Amazing

5.00I would 100% recommend this tour in any tour that this surface provider offers. They were extremely knowledgeable about each site. They were flexible with request, offered to take pictures, brought you a great local food establishments for lunch. The tour operator was extremely patient and helpful the entire day. I have gone on several tours in this quite possibly is amongst my top three. Each side was stunning and I could not have imagined it being a better time.

5.00Incredible tour of the Isle of Skye! We had Lawerence as our driver and he was amazing! He was so kind and thoughtful and provided lots of great info at all of our stops. He knows what he’s doing and has a lot of passion for his job. The stops were amazing, all the views spectacular. We even got to see some of the Highland Coos! Absolutely recommend, and a big thank you to Lawrence
