I cannot say enough wonderful things about Happy Tours! The owner, Cameron, literally saved our trip to Inverness from being ruined after another company cancelled on us last minute on the morning of our tour. Isle of Skye was the reason our group decided to come to Inverness, and we booked our tour in January! We couldn't get onto another tour with anyone else so Cameron literally saved the day! Our guide, Andrew, was perfect. He was so knowledgeable about everything Scotland, and trust me, we asked a LOT of questions! Isle of Skye has a bit of a drive to access, so we learned a lot about our locations on the ride to the isle. We had plenty of room for the 4 of us to spread out on the tour bus. I was extremely grateful we had him to drive for us so all we needed to worry about was looking at the absolutely stunning Scottish Highlands. Andrew modified everything to suit our needs. He knew the Fairy Pools were a priority, so allowed us plenty of time to hike to the pools. He gave us insider knowledge of the Urquhart Castle and Old Man of Skorr. He took pictures for us everywhere and made sure that we were having a great time the whole day. I think the best part was that by the end of the day, we were exhausted, but so overwhelmingly happy with how our day had turned out with Happy Tours. I don't think there is any way we could have had a better experience with the other tour company. Book directly with Happy Tours for an amazing day and experience!
Thank you so much for this great review for us and our guide Andrew. We were very "happy" to save your day, arrange the tour to Skye and make sure your whole memory of this area was a positive one. The beauty of the private tour is , as you say, it's your tour and your pace allowing you as many questions as you liked and time at your "must see must do" locations. Haste ye back!
Andrew was amazing!!!!! He allowed us to decide how much time to spend at locations. We were at the end of our vacation and we were pretty wiped out. We almost didn’t go and we are BEYOND happy we rallied!! Thank you so much, Andrew!!!!
Thank you Keli for this great review for Andrew. We are delighted that despite being t the end of your vacation we were able to give you one last amazing Scottish adventure. taking a private tour means you can set the pace, not everyone likes it the same on any two days. Rest and return again refreshed! Haste ye back
Highlands & Loch Ness We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Neil/Happy Tours as our tour guide in Inverness. From the very beginning, his warm and friendly personality made us feel welcome and completely at ease. What truly set Neil apart was his incredible depth of knowledge—he didn’t just share facts, but brought the history, culture, and landscapes of the Highlands to life with engaging stories and genuine passion. Neil struck the perfect balance between being informative and entertaining. He was attentive to our interests, happy to answer every question, and made sure everyone in the group felt included. His local insights led us to hidden gems we never would have discovered on our own, making the entire experience feel personal and unique. The pacing of the tour was spot-on, allowing us to fully take in the stunning scenery without ever feeling rushed. It was clear that Neil genuinely cares about creating a memorable experience for his guests. If you’re visiting Inverness and want a tour that is insightful, enjoyable, and truly special, we couldn’t recommend Neil more highly. He turned a great trip into an unforgettable one. more Date of experience: 02 May, 2026
Thank you so much for this wonderful review of your tour with Neil. With Neil being a local to the area taking a Private tour from Inverness to Loch Ness and The Isle of Skye becomes a master class in all things Highland. You have described your day perfectly. We are very "happy" you had an unforgettable day. Haste ye back.
Our tour guide Andrew was excellent. Great story teller.
Thank you so much for taking time to leave a great review for Andrew. We are really "happy" you enjoyed all the folklore and history on your private tour. Haste ye back!
We loved this tour so much that we still talk about it! I wish I could remember our tour guide. He was hilarious in a dry sense of humor way that really resonated with us. Beautiful locations, very comfortable drive. We would do this one again.
Thank you so much for this lovely review and apologies for not responding sooner. We are delighted you had an enjoyable fun filled day with our guide. It's hard to give you a name without some more details however all our guides are full of humour so it's great that resonated with you. Haste ye back!
Our trip hosted by our driver, Nick, was so lovely! He provided us with amazing folklore and the history of what we were seeing. He had a clever sense of humor and was fun to listen to. I especially liked his presentation of language history of Scotland. And we loved his information about livestock after we let him know we work with livestock at home in Oregon. We were so lucky to have a partly-sunny-with-no-rain day. There were lots of stops for this long tour day. Nick’s back stories and experiences made what we were seeing so much more relevant and meaningful. Thank you, Nick!

My husband, friends and I took a private trip from Inverness to Isle of Sky. Our driver, Andrew, was fabulous! He lives in the area and shared so many interesting facts.. We were able to travel at our own pace. Highly recommend.
Thank you Phyllis for taking the time to leave a lovely review for Andrew. We are delighted you all had such a great time on your private tour and enjoyed all the local facts and folklore from a local lad. Thanks too for your recommendation, we truly appreciate it! Haste ye back.
Murdoch was our driver/storyteller and was fabulous! I loved the history & humor shared throughout the journey. The pacing of the tour was good with adequate restroom stops. Directions and safety features were clearly stated. What a magical land we were able to experience!
Rebecca, we are not sure but we think you have left this on the wrong business as we have no guide called Murdoch. We are delighted however that the tour you took was everything you hoped for. Haste ye back.
Amazing your with our guide Mike Portree! He was very Nice and informative, the highlands are beautiful and very interesting!
Thank you so much for the great review of the tour you did with Mike. We are delighted that you found our area beautiful and interesting. A private tour allows you to really have one to one with the guide and truly appreciate your day. Haste ye back.
