5.00Torquil was the best guide! We explored so much of the Highlands in one day while listening to folk tales, Scottish music, and facts about every mile we traveled. Informative, breathtaking views, ample breaks and time to stretch your legs with the fairy pools being the absolute highlight. Worth every penny. Book if you want to see highlights on the Isle of Skye and so much more.
Great day

5.00Karen was a wonderful guide for a long, interesting tour. She never lost her enthusiasm for telling us about the sites we visited even though the tour was over 12 hours. The tour included so many interesting sites and experiences and traveling in the 16 passenger van was comfortable.
