Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Nous nous arrêterons pour un court arrêt photo du Loch Ness et du château d'Urquhart.
Kyleakin est notre premier arrêt sur l'île de Skye. Ce village pittoresque offre la possibilité de prendre quelques photos de l'impressionnant pont de Skye.
Il est temps de déjeuner dans la jolie ville portuaire de Portree : attention aux mouettes affamées ! En plus de sa beauté naturelle, Portree possède une histoire et un patrimoine culturel riches. Le nom de la ville est dérivé du gaélique « Port-an-Righ », qui signifie « port du roi », reflétant son importance historique en tant que port royal. Aujourd'hui, Portree est une communauté dynamique alliant charme traditionnel et équipements modernes.
Les Fairy Pools sont une série de bassins et de cascades enchanteurs et cristallins nichés au pied des montagnes Cuillin, ils offrent une beauté éthérée et une atmosphère magique. Nous profiterons d'une promenade jusqu'à ces cascades bleues et vertes - et si vous êtes courageux, vous pourriez même faire un plongeon! Assurez-vous d'apporter des chaussures confortables pour la marche et une veste de pluie en cas de temps humide. * Veuillez noter que pendant les mois d'hiver, les conditions météorologiques peuvent signifier qu'il est parfois impossible de visiter les piscines des fées. Lorsque c'est le cas, nos chauffeurs-guides experts adapteront l'itinéraire aux conditions, vous permettant d'explorer certains des autres points forts de l'île de Skye.
Le vieux pont de Sligachan se dresse comme un témoignage rustique de l'histoire au milieu du décor à couper le souffle des montagnes Cuillin sur l'île de Skye. Il crée une scène emblématique qui capture la beauté intemporelle et le charme sauvage des Highlands écossaises.
Ce château écossais historique et emblématique est perché sur une petite île où trois lochs se rencontrent, offrant un cadre pittoresque étonnant qui en a fait l'un des monuments les plus célèbres d'Écosse. Voir le château et admirer le paysage environnant.

The bus was uncomfortable. Seats too narrow and seatbelt so tight against chest/neck. Where you click seatbelt dug into my hip/thigh. You definitely sit thigh to thigh which is ok if you're family but not if you're strangers and/or sweaty. The tour locations, sites/sights, stops all good. Beautiful scenery at every stop. Bring bug spray to ward off the midgies. Plenty of rest stops with toilet facility access. Guide got us to Portree at 11:30 for lunch to be ahead of other tour groups but restaurants didn't open/seat people until noon. He should have known that. Driver (Rory) was nice and funny (most of the time) but a bit long-winded on the stories. He focused too much on giving his "top 10" worst Scottish-themed movies that weren't factually accurate (like Braveheart) and actors who gave the worst and best attempts at Scottish accents. If you weren't familiar with the actors or movies his dialogue was just noise.
We decided to do the one day tour versus 2. Tabbie was a delight and we thoroughly enjoyed her storytelling and her love of Scotland. The hike to the Fairy Pools was gorgeous. Be sure to wear hiking shoes.
Tabbie was awesome and so knowledgeable! Hard to believe that she has only been doing this for 3 months... Looking forward to doing another tour with Tabbie on my next visit to Scotland!
Tabbie was such a great tour guide! She had plenty of stories to tell us on the tour and made the tour very fun.
This was such a beautiful tour and our guide, Tabbie, was absolutely brilliant. The bus was so cozy, we stopped at all the right places and had plenty of time to do the things we wanted. We experienced much more than what we could’ve make happen for ourselves in a single day! Highly recommend Tabbie’s tour! & she’s a great dj 😊
It was amazing and our tour guide Tabbie was lovely. She was extremely knowledgeable about all of the places we went which made it even better and she was hilarious.
Tabbie was incredible!! This was my favorite tour I’ve ever done, everything was timed well and her narration was very funny and interesting throughout
Tabbie was an excellent guide! Super knowledgeable and funny. I’d love to have her take me all over Scotland!
We decided to trust this guided tour instead of going ourselves, and that was probably one of the best decisions we made during this trip in Scotland. Tabby is an amazing guide, she's very chatty, very funny, and made the whole thing just memorable. She filled the whole road trip with fun facts and legends and myths, and sometimes even gave us her own inputs, which was really welcome. The trip was 12 hours long, but between the stops and the conversations with the other people and the guide, we didn't felt like it lasted that long. We were also expecting a big bus, and we were pretty surprised with the small van that picked us up, but it made everything better, traveling with a small crowd. I would 100% recommend it.
Great spots on the tour! The pickup location was central and easy to find. The bus was comfortable and not giant. Our tour guide Tabbi was kind, humorous, and informative with various stories and folklores.
