Best day in the Highlands! - Our tour guide, Stuart, was so fun and informative. He did a great job of routing us around the big crowds when possible and really made the most of our time on Skye. I would 10/10 recommend this tour!

Great castle visit - Beautifully kept grounds, clean area, excellent audio tour option, decent parking. Really appreciated the flow of traffic being channeled through the castle, it allows for one to see as much as able.., as well as go at their own pace. It was really nice to not have to figure out what room to see next. Also enjoyed the history and artifacts that were included on the tour.

One of the best tour guides ever! - Despite the pouring rain and high winds, our driver and guide Fiona made it a great day. She was very knowledgeable and clear speaking. Her instructions and information about what to do at each stop was also clear and useful. The upside of the rain was that the waterfalls were in full flow and quite spectacular.

Highlight of my Scotland trip - This tour was the highlight of my Scotland tour. Not only is the Isle of Skye one of the most majestic places to explore, Owen made the trip even better through all his knowledge on the history, the random Scottish beliefs, the jokes and general conversations. I felt like I got a true Scottish experience thanks to him!
Highly recommend this trip and thank you again Owen!

Excellent in every way - Excellent tour, fun and facts combined. Everything worked like clockwork, plus we got much more than expected from a one day bus trip. Thank you, Stewart!

Great tour despite the rain! - This was a day of interesting sights, despite the rain and the heavy mists that kept us from viewing The Old Man of Storr rock formation. We even had a few bonus stops thrown in (a view of Urquhart Castle, a field of Scottish Highland cattle, Lealt Falls)! Our guide and driver, Mike, was a wealth of information and anecdotes! I also really enjoyed his playlist of Scottish and Irish tunes during the long bus ride back!
The only negative was the VERY cramped seating on the bus. Worse than an airplane.
