5.00We had a lovely time with my family. It was always our dream to visit The Isle of Sky and this tour was a perfect fit for us. Dave Mac was our guide, and he was a great storyteller. We learned a lot about this history of The Highlands and we were able to see breathtaking landscapes. I would definitely recommend 100% this tour!
Great trip with great guide

5.00Kevs was an absolute superstar as the driver and guide. We learned a lot of history, culture, and humour too. That’s made up for the unfavourable weather along the journey. Highly recommend this tour!

5.00Every part of this trip was fantastic. Beautiful views at every stop, and Duncan kept us entertained and informed the whole way. The sampling of Scottish music and history podcasts during the road trips was a nice touch, as well as his personal stories. He has great time management skills as well, and despite having a short winter day to work with, he still got us to the top of Quiraing with enough daylight to get a great view of the surrounding hills and valleys. Duncan was also great at keeping an eye out for the local wildlife, both from a viewing and driving perspective. Excellent trip all around.
