Best Isle of Skye tour day - Right from the beginning of our emails and trying to figure out what tour to do, Billy was so amazing, helpful and very patient while we made our decision. We did a full day tour of the Isle of Skye and we can't say enough about our great day and tour with Billy. He was so informative, great to converse with and was so accommodating for the stops we had to make along our journey. If you happen to get Billy for any tour you will be very fortunate. We all would highly recommend Highlander Private Tours and we definitely use them again. Thanks again Billy for such a memorable day, we talk about it often and will never forget it or you.

Magical tour, excellent company - Lawrence was an exceptional guide. He was flexible, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Very family friendly tour and adaptable throughout the day if there was a specific site we wanted to see or extra time we wanted to take at certain spots. He always had recommendations for food, beverages, snacks and scenery. Would recommend his tour to anyone visiting Scotland!

Outstanding Day with Billy & Hamish the Hairy Coo! - A group of five took a wonderful day trip out to Skye with proud Highlander Billy McLean accompanied by his trusty assistant Hamish the Hairy Coo. He was very entertaining and so informative with genuine knowledge and history of the Highlands. We experienced Loch Ness, Eilean Donan Castle, Old Sligachan Bridge, Portree, the Quiraing with a peak at Old Man Storr. According to legend, he even demonstrated how to stick your face in the water under the Old Sligachan Bridge for 7 seconds and let it dry off naturally to be granted eternal beauty. Two more brave souls engaged! We were picked up and dropped off at our stay outside of Inverness and he was ever flexible with the itinerary. We're sure that any of the other tours would be equally amazing! Thank you Billy & Hamish!

Amazing Hihglands trip with Highlander private Tours - SELECT customer_id, first_name, last_name, age, country FROM customers WHERE country IN ( SELECT country FROM customers GROUP BY country HAVING COUNT(country) > 1 ); We had the most incredible experience with Highlander Private Tours, traveling as a family of three with our energetic three-year-old. From start to finish, everything was seamless, thanks to the fantastic coordination by Lawrence and the exceptional hospitality of our guides, Billy and Kevin. We booked a three-day tour, and every moment was filled with warmth, excitement, and breathtaking sights. Day 1: Isle of Skye – Billy was our guide, and he was absolutely fantastic.We went from Inverness via North of Loch Ness to the Eilean Donan Castle and onwards to Sligachan, Portree, Uig bay and looped back via the Quiraing. Weather was great so we got to see the Old Man of Storr. His deep knowledge of the area's history, combined with his infectious enthusiasm, made the journey even more special. It felt like he was just as excited as we were! He covered our entire itinerary effortlessly, ensuring we had an unforgettable experience. Day 2: Loch Ness & Chanonry Point – Kevin led our tour, and he was brilliant! He was full of energy, engaging, and even took us to hidden gems beyond our planned itinerary. His friendliness and passion made the day extraordinary, and our little one had an amazing time playing with both Billy and Kevin—they truly treated us like family. Day 3: Falls of Foyers – Once again, Kevin was outstanding. He was incredibly patient and allowed us to explore at our own pace, never making us feel rushed. This was something we deeply appreciated throughout the trip—both Billy and Kevin ensured we could soak in every moment without ever feeling hurried. Highlander Private Tours made this trip truly unforgettable, and we cannot recommend them enough! If you're looking for a personalized, family-friendly, and genuinely heartfelt tour experience, look no further. We’d book with them again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Billy, Kevin, and Lawrence, for making this adventure so special! Billy and Kevin, we will meet you soon again!
