Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Når vi forlader Inverness, dukker Highlands mest berømte farvande op: Loch Ness. Vi vil omfavne kysten, mens din guide bringer legenden til live - fortællinger om sightings, videnskab og en sprøjte af skam - øjne skrællet for hende!
Vores første stop er ved det ikoniske Eilean Donan Castle. Dette slot er øjeblikkeligt genkendeligt verden over, da det har været med i mange film og utallige skotske souvenirs! Vi stopper ved vores foretrukne udsigtspunkt her for at give dig mulighed for at tage nogle billeder og beundre den majestætiske skønhed ved dette ikoniske syn i dets vidunderlige kystnære beliggenhed. Bemærk venligst, at der IKKE vil være mulighed for at besøge slottet.
Ankomme i Portree og hovedet til havnen udsigt - kue pastel-perfekte huse og omfattende udsigt over bugten. Dyk ned i mærkelige lokale butikker, hyggelige caféer og havnebaner; 45 minutter her flyver forbi. sulten? Tag en friskbagt frokost eller en velsmagende takeaway og tank op som en lokal. (Hvis du har forudbestilt frokost hos os om morgenen, vil vi hente det her og levere det til dig på minibus, hvilket sparer dig værdifuld sightseeing tid).
Kilt Rock er en udsat havklippe, som minder om den traditionelle højlandskilt, og som aldrig undlader at imponere vores gæster. Det kan også prale af et vandfald, der fosser 60 fod (180 m) ind i Sound of Raasay nedenfor - et helt unikt syn, og især når vinden blæser vandfaldet tilbage op ad klippen!
Mens vi kører mod nord, vil vi stoppe ved et udsigt over søen for din første kig på Old Man of Storr - en slående 50 meters top, der stiger fra den dramatiske Trotternish Ridge. Du kan genkende dette ikoniske landskab fra film, herunder 47 Ronin, Macbeth, Snehvide og jægeren, Prometheus og The BFG.
Du vil have tid til at vandre op til denne smukke serie af pools og vandfald. Den naturskønne sti til den første pool er forsigtigt op ad bakken og tager omkring 20 minutter (0,7 miles), med det mest imponerende vandfald kun 5 minutter længere på (0,9 miles i alt). De fleste gæster forbliver her, med Cuillin Mountains som en fantastisk baggrund til det krystalklare vand i pools. Uanset vejret, er der fotomuligheder på hver tur! Bemærk venligst: Ud og tilbage gåtur er omkring 1,5 miles og tager omkring 40 minutter, så et moderat niveau af kondition er påkrævet.
Efter at have nydt Skye's showstoppers, krydser vi tilbage over broen og vender mod øst, trådende gennem bjerge og storybook glens. Mens landskabet svulmer omkring os, bringer din guide de mørkere kapitler i Highlands til live - de blodige omvæltninger, der tømte engang blomstrende samfund og efterlod disse glens uhyggeligt stille.
Vi slutter på en høj - bogstaveligt talt. Kig ned på Urquhart Castle, dramatisk placeret på en halvø, der når ind i Loch Ness - en passende afslutning efter en dag med spektakulære seværdigheder på Skye. Derefter er det en hurtig køretur tilbage til Inverness, der bærer den bedste souvenir af alle - minder om en uforglemmelig dag på Skye.

This tour with Andrew and WOW Scotland was absolutely outstanding. This was my 2nd day tour of Skye (different travelling companion) and it included stops (Urquhart Castle, and Loch Ness for photos) which my past tour with Rabbies did not include (the driver told us parking was too difficult). The absolute highlight (besides our fantastic guide) of this WOW Scotland tour was the Fairy Pools - I am so very glad we saw this. Andrew, our guide, was entertaining, thoughtful, professional, and genuinely strived to ensure each passenger's comfort and enjoyment. He gave us a fascinating and well-told account of some of Scotland's history on our way back, which was the perfect way to accompany the stunning scenery we passed along the way. This is a quality and well-structured tour and I would recommend it highly. Seeing the Fairy Pools is really a must-do, and ask for Andrew if you can!
The tour to Isle of Skye was exceptional and we saw so much. What made it an incredible experience was our caring, humorous, knowledgeable and accommodating guide, Colin. Along with having deep knowledge and history of the area, he also brought the fun and kept us lively and engaged the entire 12 hours. I highly recommend this tour and with Colin!
Amazing tour! Tour guide Andrew is extremely knowledgeable and well spoken. Purchasing a sandwich from Lisa from Skye Bakery was delicious and efficient. Long day but well worth the effort. It just kept getting better. Would recommend. Our 13 year old son loved it too!
This was by far the best tour my wife and I went on during our trip to Scotland. Andrew our tour guide was not only super knowledgeable he was also extremely entertaining. On our way back to Inverness he told us the true story of Braveheart. We also got a bonus stop at Eilean Donan Castle which was not part of the tour description. He said we were such a good group and had been on time all day we had time for one more stop. We would definitely go on another tour with WOW and if possible have Andrew be our tour guide.
Andrew was an amazing tour guide. He kept us entertained the whole day with humour and educating us on Scottish history and landmarks. Our kids felt very welcomed and also enjoyed every minute. The actual experience was second to none. Bakery lunch was delicious and very filling. Thanks, Andrew and the team at WOW.
The tour was very well organized, punctual, and followed the planned itinerary perfectly. Andrew was an excellent guide—friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about Scottish history. The vehicle was comfortable and in excellent condition, and the driving was safe throughout the trip. I highly recommend booking a tour with Wow—you can do so with complete confidence!
This was a fantastic day tour and one of the highlights of my trip. It was informative without ever feeling overwhelming, and the guide shared plenty of interesting facts and local insights throughout the day. Everything was well organized, and the itinerary was timed perfectly, giving us enough time at each stop without ever feeling rushed or bored. As a solo traveler, I found it to be a great experience. It was easy to meet other people, and the friendly atmosphere made the day even more enjoyable. I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone, especially if you’re traveling on your own and want a fun, well-planned day out.
Our tour guide Andrew was entertaining with lots of stories throughout the day about Scotland and the Isle of Skye and gave us lots of opportunities to stop for pictures! Highlights were definitely our time in Portree and the Fairy Pools walk in the afternoon. Our lunch from Isle of Skye Baking Company was lovely as well. Overall small group size made it easy to get to know everyone and keep up with the guide.
We had such a great time on this trip. Our tour guide, Andrew, was wonderful. He is a great story teller, personable and went above and beyond for us to have an exceptional experience. The destinations were breathtaking, and the scenery getting there was just as stunning. I highly recommend WOW if you want to experience skye and more without needing to rent a car.
Absolutely amazing tour. Andrew was an awesome guide, the itinerary was great, the stories were informational and fun, and the quality of the company really showed. Definitely worth the money!
