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.

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.
A great trip to Skye, an excellent experience!

5.00We had a wonderful trip on our journey to Skye. The price point was a bit expensive, and we feel it was worth it. Graham was our tour guide and he was lovely. Kind, considerate, accommodating and informative. He tailored the trip to our interests and needs. I think mom said it the best: it felt like we were traveling with a local friend. Highly recommend him!! We were very grateful for our rainpants, raincoats and waterproof shoes (hoka GTX) in the fair pools. It was rainy and windy and ultimately n return to the van still felt dry. Graham was great to coordinate a lunch at The Old Inn and we always thoughtful about giving us times to next stop and toilet access. We truly had a great day. It’s a bit longer of a day (12hr+) and completely worth it.
Best way to see Isle of Skye

5.00Our family really enjoyed spending the day with Lawrence, who drove us ALL over Skye chasing fairy magic. We loved hiking the Ferry Pools, climbing the Fairy Glenn and taking in all the sights along the most scenic routes. Lawrence helped us find a wonderful lunch spot, and even made us reservations while we were inside visiting the castle. Lawrence is so smart, funny and well read…and his wonderful storytelling kept us entertained between points while he was driving. We were so glad we did not do the drive ourselves, as it allowed us to truly enjoy the drive. Lawrence dropped us off at entrances, and was waiting for us when we finished which helped us to make the most of our day. We covered so much territory, but we had such a blast and the day just flew by. We will treasure the pictures and memories of Skye. Thank you Lawrence!
Fairyland!

5.00We had an amazing day travelling to Fairy Glen…the Highlands is incredibly beautiful. The cold, blustery winds and drizzle didn’t dampen our enjoyment of this tour. Our guide Lawrence was outstanding…friendly, thoughtful and professional. A must visit!!
