Fab day in Skye, highly recommend
Amazing trip! Emily was our driver and kept us entertained with fun facts and mythical stories! The group size is small, and you will have time to explore and shop at the main destinations. The fairy pools are amazing to see during nice weather, we even had a trip down and had a dip! Book this tour for amazing scenery, like highland mountains with misty tops, gurgling rivers and waterfalls, moody forests and dramatic castles while touring Skye and the highlands and enjoying some good guiding and storytelling 😎
We had Emily for our tour guide and we had the most wonderful day! She is a gifted storyteller who taught us all about the history, wildlife, and folklore of our tour spots today. So entertaining and funny, her personality made the trip engaging and fun for the whole day, and her eclectic playlist of Scottish music is something I’ll listen to long after I’ve returned home. She’s like a modern Miss Frizzle on her magic tour bus! ✨⭐️✨
Absolutely wonderful trip with a friendly guide, excellent stories and many laughs! The driving was very safe and comfortable, so never got startled or worried either! We rode with Emily, I love her whimsy and good attitude and an appreciation for good whisky (and can give good recommendations of what to get at the bars, if that is something you enjoy too!)✨ Very lucky with the weather as well, but I guess we should thank the fairies for that!
My family and I had a wonderful trip for gorgeous weather. Our guide, Emily, had so much history and entertaining stories to provide and an amazing Scottish playlist of music! Highly recommend!
Fascinating day, great scenery & stories , also very long day
Excellent tour with Emily and a wonderful views
This was an absolutely magical day trip, albeit long, but that didn't matter. Our tour guide, Karen, was a gem. Very knowledgeable and friendly, but also a good stickler for time-keeping so we kept to our busy schedule. I would maybe have suggested 5-10 more mins at the first stop (water falls) and maybe 5-10 less for the restroom stop when we first made it onto Skye. Other than that everything was beyond perfect. Would highly recommend to all (with a fair level of physical fitness, as there is a lot of walking. We tracked 14,000 steps for our day!)
Perfect all day Isle of Skye experience. Start early in the morning from Inverness (pack a breakfast and bring something to drink). Comfortable and easy to access mini bus. Our Guide was Tim-he was incredibly knowledgeable, wove together the past and present along with witty stories. -light hike to a waterfall -moderate hike to the fairy pools (about an hour). You can choose the pace and how far you hike but the main path in/out is a moderately steep incline. -get the ticket to see the castle. It’s beautiful. You can eat lunch at the cafe and it’s good but it will take away from seeing the castle and grounds. Pack a sandwich and spend time more time in the castle. -walk around Portree and see the beautiful town. Lots of artisan shops. -brief stops to view some castles and beautiful views on the way back to Inverness. It’s a full day but you get to spend a good amount of time at the individual sites. Tim was a great storyteller and also very attentive to the needs of everyone on the tour. Wear comfortable waterproof shoes w good grip, dress in layers with a waterproof jacket (rain hat that secures under chin was super helpful), don’t bother w an umbrella-too windy. You can leave your bag on the bus so you don’t have to lug things around.
Bottom Line: highly recommend Fantastic tour. It was the perfect pace. We felt like we had enough time at each stop to truly soak up Isle of Skye. Our guide, Tim, was knowledge, funny, and organized. He did a great job of communicating timing and locations. He was a wealth of knowledge about the area, not just superficial basics but truly merged the past with the present… and his playlist was perfection. Cannot recommend this tour enough. There are some portions that are a bit more physically challenging but you explore at your pace so as long as you can walk without assistance (or can walk distances w a cane or walking polls) you can do this tour. I would suggest that if you get motion sickness you pop a Dramamine and arrive early to sit in the front of the bus. Highland roads are twisty and bumpy but the mini bus was super comfy. There are tons of bathroom and viewing stops which was nice. You can also leave things on the van while you explore which makes it so much easier. You can pick up breakfast and snacks before the tour (just no hot food on the mini van due to smells-so appreciated). There are also a number of stops to grab coffee and a bite. Dunvegan castle has a pretty tasty cafe but it takes some time off your exploring as it gets busy and there’s a wait.
