3-Day Isle of Skye and Highlands Tour from Glasgow

I’ve travelled the world, but this tour is one I will always remember. Our guide Douggie is mostly responsible for that. His knowledge of the vast region, its history and special backroads made the trek all the more pleasurable. Worth every penny. Tip…choose the B&B’s. They’re awesome!

Lee, our driver/tour guide, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the history and answered all of our questions. He was also very thoughtful and considerate to make sure everyone was enjoying the experience. The itinerary was full but we did have some time to rest during longer drives. It was the perfect combination of activities. This tour makes me want to return to Scotland to experience more of this beautiful country.

A great tour where Brodie really did everything possible to get the best out of it. His selection of history, stories and music provided a silver lining to the whole experience. Also, the setup was perfect with two nights in Inverness.

Ben, our guide, was a great driver, very knowledgeable and did a good job with keeping things moving efficiently. The only downside is that the tour information claims you get dropped back at the pickup location which is only true for those picked up in Edinburgh. They give you a train ticket if you have to go back to Glasgow which is not as advertised so plan for an extra hour

Grate experience! Nice bus , good company and best acomodations. Iain was our guide, he keep us entertained whit stories about Scotland and their people.

The highlands are extremely beautiful, and nothing could have prepared us for the sights we were to behold. The Glen Coe, the Lochs and the hairy coos - the unique and wonderful landscapes of Bonnie Scotland. However, there are somethings that I want to bring to your attention. 1. The pick up points must be detailed well on the itinerary - for example the Glasgow one being right in front of RSNO. The Google location takes you in front of the Buchanan bus station. 2. The driver cannot be responsible for giving us a guided tour and driving us around. That’s too much pressure on them as a driver - and they won’t be able to provide us with a very great explanation of what exactly we are seeing. The driver must be allowed to focus entirely on driving us around as it is very important and they have the safety of themselves and the passengers in their hands. 3. An alternative could be to provide us with pamphlets - that could accompany what little is being told by the driver. This also helps with people that find it difficult to understand different accents as most people on the tour are from different parts of the world. 4. Our tour guide + driver was doing a good job as a driver, but I felt that as a tour guide, he was not all that passionate and enthusiastic - a sentiment I witnessed in most guided tours I have taken in the UK. Moreover, he was rude to us for being 2 mins late (2 minutes being the exact duration ) due to a personal issue. I have been living in Glasgow for the past 5 months and Scottish people are very warm, polite and kind. They are very friendly and easy to talk to but I did not feel the same Scottish warmth from him. If it weren’t for the beautiful highlands, this trip would’ve been a rather uninteresting one.

A visit we’ll never forget. The Highlands are a magical place. Each town we stopped at was so beautiful. The b&b hosts in Inverness were lovely. Kenny (“Captain Kirk”) was a wonderful tour guide full of historical facts, stories, an excellent playlist, and a great sense of humor. We miss him already!

Excellent tour of the highlands. Experienced wonderful views of the exceptional scenery as well as insightful oversights of the history of the area. Ben our host was highly knowledgeable, very friendly and very funny.

This is the way to go! Easy cheese-y tour of Scotland for first time lers. Our driver and guide, Ben M. was the best!

What an excellent trip that was. We started in Edinburgh, though some people joined in Glasgow. We saw so many highlights, I can’t even decide what was the best thing - the three sisters, the first look of the Highland mountains, the beauty of the Isle of Skye or the stones of the Clava Clairns? What made everything even better was our driver/guide Ben. I can’t believe it’s just his first year on the job. He did such a wonderful job - he was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, always had a joke and he was an excellent driver, never seemed stressed or anything. Everything was perfectly organised and timed by him. All the other guides in the UK will have a hard time now cause I‘ll compare them to Ben :-) I definitely recommend this trip if you don’t want to drive through the highlands yourself and want to learn and see a lot.
