Loch Ness er kendt som hjemmet til Loch Ness Monster (også kendt som "Nessie"). Den tidligste rapport om et monster i nærheden af Loch Ness fremgår af Adomnáns liv i St. Columba, skrevet i det sjette århundrede e.Kr.
En gang på Isle of Skye gør vi vej op mod østkysten af øen. Tag den fantastiske udsigt over de røde og svarte Cuillin bjerge, og øerne Scalpay og Raasay, som vi leder syd-vest gennem mange små landsbyer, ned ad single-track vejen mod Fairy Pools.
Gå i skyggen af Cuillin-bjergene, med overnaturerne gennem eventyrlige landskaber og deres mest berømte bade, Fairy Pools. Puljerne ligger i et af de mest dramatiske landskaber på Skye. Eventyrene bader her regelmæssigt i de krystalklare grønne puljer af Floden Skør. Vejret tillader det, du kan svømme i flodens pools, en af Storbritanniens bedste vilde svømmehaller. Hav det sjovt at dykke under naturlige buer og vandfald, men vær venlig at ikke spionere på feerne, da de let kan tage lov!
Talisker destilleri baseret i Carbost var det eneste whisky destilleri på Isle of Skye, whisky er en single malt Scotch, med en meget karakteristisk Peaty-smoky smag. Vi skal gå gennem besøgscenteret og hvis der er ledig prøve, er en af de fine whiskys produceret her.
Vi vil tilbringe lidt tid i den lille havneby Portree, hovedstaden i Isle of Skye med sine farvestrålende bygninger ved siden af en malerisk havn, der minder om byen Portree's besøg i King James V i 1540 det at det oprindeligt blev kaldt Portray og blev antaget at have været beboet så langt tilbage som den mesolithiske periode.
Eilean Donan Castle er en af de mest anerkendte slotte i Skotland. Strategisk placeret på sin egen lille ø, med udsigt over Isle of Skye, på det sted, hvor tre store hav-lochs mødes, og omgivet af Kintails skovklædte bjerge, er Eilean Donans omgivelser virkelig pustende.

We had a very pleasant trip with a friendly, very professional, fun guy as a driver and guide.
Thank you. Driver/Guide is a pro. Thanks again
This was our first visit to Scotland, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our small group departed on time, and Rab’s insights and candid commentary provided a superb introduction to the region, giving us a clear understanding of where we were going and what to expect along the way. Travelling alongside Loch Ness, we made our way to the stunning Eilean Donan Castle before continuing our journey through the breathtaking Isle of Skye. One of the highlights of the trip was visiting the magical Fairy Pools, whose crystal-clear waters and dramatic scenery made for a truly memorable experience. Throughout the tour, the landscapes were spectacular, and Rab’s knowledge, humour, and storytelling brought Scotland’s history and culture to life. It was a fantastic introduction to the Highlands and a trip we will always remember.
So glad you enjoyed Rab's company and our beautiful country. Looking forward to seeing you again.
Bus never showed. Tried calling several times but never answered. Double, triple, and quadruple checked date, time, and location to make sure I did not miss anything. So not only did we miss out on the Skye tour our day was wasted.
Awful review. If you do not leave we can only contact you by email. You may be on holiday but need to check your email.
Our guide and driver was almost the best part of our whole day tour. Very interesting hearing about Skye, from rock formations, history and fairies to stupid tourists in rental cars:) We had perfect weather and a very enjoyable day.
The tour was wonderful and we saw everything we wanted to on the Skye. The highlight would be the fairy pools and Talisker Distillery. The only thing not so good was the tour guide. .
Oh, that is strange our driver guides are highly trained and are professionals, you can't keep everybody all the time. Glad you enjoyed the tour though.
Richard was the best tour guide! He knew so many stories and facts about Scotland and we loved every minute! And would recommend for anyone going to the area. We got to see so much and hear so many stories that we loved!
Tour cancelled on the morning of departure with unusable notice. I booked the “Best of Skye” tour from Portree for my only full day on Skye. I arrived at Somerled Square before 08:30 and waited at the pickup point. There was no Tour Skye bus, no driver and no representative. I called several times, but nobody answered. Only later did I find out that the tour had been cancelled because the driver/guide was sick. The cancellation email had gone to spam, and there was no phone call or usable warning before departure. By that time I had already lost the chance to easily join another tour. Tour Skye did issue a full refund, which is correct, but the communication and operational handling were poor. A refund does not fix the lost morning, the stress, the cold wait at the pickup point, or the fact that I only had one full day on Skye. The problem was not that a driver got sick. That can happen. The problem was the lack of clear, timely communication and no practical backup for customers already waiting at the departure point.
The tour was cancelled. You were sent an email the moment we knew about it and a full refund was issued immediately. Poor communication? we even hooked you up with another tour company so you could tour and not loose a day on Skye. We could not have done anything else but appologies for the inconvenience.
Amazing tour! Mitch was an amazing guide, tended to our every need, just amazing. Would do same tour again when back on Skye!
Thank you for taking the time leaving a review. Mitch will be so happy as that was his first ever tour. Safe travels.
We had a tour guide change up, an older gentleman from another company but he was great and enjoyable to listen to. He took us to a local eatery for lunch and was good with timing. The fairy pools don’t look like the picture but that could have been time of year. Regardless it was a beautiful hike and an enjoyable day!
The booked excursion was unfortunately cancelled at very short notice, one day before. This was very annoying as we could not book a new excursion at such short notice. Am a bit surprised TripAdvisor has no knowledge of the cancellation. I hope that at least the refund will be quick and hassle-free. Anyway, we were very disappointed. The trip was one of our highlights on our Scotland tour.
