We 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.
