Super nice day! We saw the castle in Loch Ness, and then we moved to the other castel, and finally to the Skye Island. We saw a lot of bautiful spots. Nature and culture in a single day. If you are lucky, you will have as guide Donnie. Really reccomended tour.

Fully recommend this tour to anyone who wants to visit the Fairy Pools and Dunvagan Castle - you'll get about 01h 30m at each site. The tour alsl goes through some of the most breathtaking areas of the Island of Skye. Our tour guide - Torquil - kept us entertained with historic facts and tales of Skye and also introduced us to some great Scottish music!

It was a great tour, very interesting and full of great impressions. Well organized with enough breaks and times to visit the individual highlights. Torquil was a very sympathetic tour guide with many interesting facts. The bus was very comfortable and a manageable group.

We had an absolutely lovely experience the whole time! This tour makes for a very long day, but it is certainly worth it! Every stop we made was beautiful and interesting. Our tour guide, Torquil, was so welcoming and engaging throughout the entire trip. He presented lots of information, but of course threw in a few good (and bad) jokes to keep us engaged. I would happily recommend this tour to anyone interested!
Great day in Isle of Skye

Torquil was an amazing driver, sharing both his knowledge and music. We had sunny weather and managed to walk more than 18,000 steps. I highly recommend this trip!

Our guide (Torquil) was quite the character! Always a story to tell, humor, and so nice. The trip was wonderful, a bit wet, when you know you know. The Scottish landscape is so beautiful and this tour is the perfect choice if you want to discover it without effort.
Fun, Faeries, and the Isle of Skye

Had an awesome time with Sonia and the small group! Sonia did a great job pacing the day due to the varying Highlands weather and kept us truly entertained with stories during the drive. Thank you so much!
