Amazing custom experience! - Gus was informative, flexible and knew the best “off main road” places for tremendous views! We requested the fairy pools and they did not disappoint. We needed coffee and stopped at the best bakery/cafe. Car was comfortable and he was great company.

Incredible experience!... - Incredible experience! Our guide Regan was wonderful, very friendly and courteous. He encouraged us to ask questions and answered everything he could. We wanted to go to the Fairy Pools and he made sure we got there safely along with plenty of incredible sights and stops along the way! 10/10 experience, would do it again and fully recommend it to anyone considering.

Exceptional tour of Skye - Keith was an amazing guide and we highly recommend his tour of the island of Skye. He gave us the history of the area and let us customize what we wanted to see and how long we wanted to spend at each sight. Well worth the price particularly if you only have one day to see everything.

Isle of Skye tour & Scotch Tasting tour - We did a full day at Isle of Skye. We were picked up at our airbnb outside Inverness and spent a full 10 hours seeing the Isle of Skye. Regan was an exceptional driver/tour guide. I highly recommend using their service. We also used them for a day trip for our scotch tasting. All 4 couples loved the two days we spend with Regan as our driver.

Awesome day out on the Isle of Skye - Had a very wet, cold & windy day trip across to the Isle of Skye but we had an awesome tour guide, Keith. We did a loop stopping at Glen Sligachan to stretch our legs and see a sculpture of 2 pioneer climbers then up through Portree (stopped for lunch & a look at the shops), passed the Quiraing Walk (too wet!), saw The Old Man of Storr just through the low cloud, stopped at Kilt Rock, visited the very interesting museum of early life in Skye, had pics with hairy coos before heading back via Uig.
Keith was very friendly & easy to get along with. Made our family day out a lot of fun. Thank you!

Incredible experience touring Skye! - We had an incredible experience on our day trip around the Isle of Skye with our guide Gus. He was so friendly and highly knowledgeable about the island's history, geography, and culture, and he was able to provide fascinating stories. Not only did he expertly navigate us through the island's breathtaking landscapes, but he also offered fantastic recommendations suitable for my six-year-old son. Gus even researched my grandparent's family name and tailored the experience.
It was a truly unforgettable experience, from the castles, dinosaur bones and footprints, waterfalls, and hidden gems that we would have never discovered on our own.
Gus's passion for the Isle of Skye was genuinely infectious. His deep knowledge and love for the island were evident throughout the tour, leaving us with a strong appreciation for its beauty and history. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable exploration of the Isle of Skye.
