Great way to spend your day in Inverness! - Neill picked us up at our hotel right on time and from the very beginning we knew it was going to be a great day! He was very friendly and easy going. He told us all about the places we stopped at, shared great stories and local folklore. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

Great tour, even better tour guide - Neal was an amazing guide. Not only does he know the history and folklore of Scotland, but he’s also an entertaining storyteller. My family thoroughly enjoyed the day we spent with him on the isle of Skye. I highly recommend this tour.

Sea to Skye! - My husband and I, along with another couple, did the Isle of Skye tour with Niall and it was outstanding! The scenery was remarkable and Niall was a top tier guide. We will never forget putting our faces in the river to the cheers of a bridge full of people! I cannot recommend this tour highly enough if you want to see the Highlands, Skye, and learn a lot along the way, Niall is the best choice you could make!!!

Fantastic Day Trip - Niall was an amazing guide of the Highlands! Though the road to the Isle of Skye was closed due to a major accident, he made our trip very memorable. We love off-the-beaten-path stops and he knew of a place in the small fishing village of Plockton. We had a lovely lunch and got to enjoy the countryside. He chatted with us to understand what else we have planned while in Inverness to make sure we would be seeing all the major spots. And since we were trending early with the road closure, he took us to a whisky distillery to cap off our adventure day. I would highly recommend taking any tour with Highland Legends Private Tours!

Dreamy day in Skye - Niall was a wonderful driver. He worked with us to make sure we hit our wish list spots and even found a couple extra stops for fun. He shared many interesting folklore and history stories and we so enjoyed hearing him play bagpipes. We would absolutely reserve a tour with him again.

Unparalleled experience - Just returned from 3 nights in Inverness, on tour with expert and local guide, Niall. What a wonderful experience! My 3rd visit to the Highlands, but this one far exceeded my expectations and previous visits. For those who are adamant that a day trip to Skye can’t be done, Niall proved it not only can be done, but it can be done masterfully. From the Rogue Falls, to the “real” fairie pool, and from a very local Portree chippy shop to a private bagpipe concert, so many bucket list boxes were checked. And all the expected stops weren’t forgotten, either. All with the humorous and accurate commentary of a genuine Highlander. Mix in some unexpected and extraordinary personal touches, our time spent was unparalleled.
