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.

Portree runs out of take away lunch on the weekends so options are very limited. Maybe take your own. Guide was excellent as a guide and driver. We were pre-assigned the tearmost seats which was not awesome.
Though long, Andrew added some stops to break up the long drives. We were lucky the weather (rain) held off and it was a pretty good day for hikes and walking around town. I would only ask for more time at Portree so we can enjoy the city without being rushed. Andrew was a lovely guide and his story telling is legendary. He worked hard to keep us on schedule and through in additional visits when he could.
Ross was an excellent guide and a great storyteller.
Andrew was AMAZING ! He was fun and knowledgable. I would recommend doing the exact tour with WOW tours. They are a smaller more personal tour company. We saw ever stop in Sky and extra ones as well.
Andrew was a fun and knowledgeable guide. The sights on the trip were amazing. A must do when in Scotland
If you are considering this tour, book it without hesitation. If you are lucky enough to have Andrew as your tour guide, he will delight you! He is extremely knowledgeable and regaled us with tales of Scottish history. At the Fairy Pools, when I had concerns that I might not be physically fit enough to do the full hike, he loaned me a walking stick and accompanied me to an alternate fairy pool that was a much shorter walk (and manageable for me), but was still very beautiful with a waterfall and a babbling brook. He was able to know what we needed without having to ask. He was engaging and funny, and very caring. The stops were amazingly beautiful, just the right amount of time at each location, and Andrew was the “icing on the cake”. PS: if you book this tour, do not hesitate to pre-order the take-away lunch in Portree. It was delicious!
I cannot express enough how much of an incredible once in a lifetime experience this was. The beautiful views and stops that were made were enough for 5 stars on their own, but our guide Andrew really went far above and beyond and made it worth every single penny and then some. Andrew is not only and incredible and knowledgeable guide, but he's also a fantastic storyteller and comedian as well! We were worried a 12 hour trip would be a bit much but with Andrew at the helm we didn't want the trip to ever stop. He even gave us some fun little bonus stops! While you only stop for food once, the bakery that is partnered with the experience is absolutely delicious, filling, and well worth it! We got to see the best views in all of Scotland and hear about the beautiful history as well, I cannot recommend this experience enough!
Andrew at WOW tours made our Isle of Skye visit an enjoyable experience. A lot of history, storytelling, all while phenomenal driving on some tiny roads, skill, felt totally safe. I leave with good memories and wanting to learn more history. The hills, faerie ponds, and sea forever embellished in my mind. This company is small and local, my full support. Annette
My first time to this beautiful country, and WOW tours did not disappoint! It was a long day but was made so enjoyable by our guide, Andrew! He was so knowledgeable with his tales and the history along the way. Thank you, Andrew, and WOW tours!
A great way to see Isle of Skye without a car. Tour guide Andrew had a lot of history and stories about the locations to share, and was very knowledgeable about the area. Picked this tour because it included the Fairy Pools and that didn’t disappoint.
