Not what we expected

3.00The tour was very long and mainly driving, there was not really any information about how long a stretch you would be in the bus for. The guide didn't really go into too much history and talked a lot about himself and whisky, yes the scenes were dramatic and beautiful but there was so many places that deserve stopping at for a photo opportunity but we just drove on past
Very nice tour, highly recommended

4.00A great route, with very interesting stories about the region, its inhabitants and its history! Our driver Shawna was great! For my long legs the seat spacing was too small, hence a star deduction.

4.00We had a nice time on this full day tour. It is very long - leaving early and returning late with a lot of time on the bus. That is not a complaint as it is necessary to fit in all of the stops and to get to Skye. We enjoyed the Eilean Donan castle stop and the sightseeing stops in Skye although the rain in the morning and the frigid weather with the wind made it tougher. The stop for lunch in the main city was just ok as the restaurants were all crowded and finding a place to sit was tricky. There was little time to do anything but eat. The tour guide was decent. If you have the time to spare and want to see Skye it truly is a beautiful place.
