Rondreisopties
Reisroute
We stoppen voor een korte fotostop van Loch Ness en Urquhart Castle.
Kyleakin is onze eerste stop op het eiland Skye. Dit pittoreske dorpje biedt de kans om enkele foto's te maken van de indrukwekkende Skye Bridge.
Tijd voor lunch in het mooie havenstadje Portree. Pas op voor hongerige meeuwen! Naast zijn natuurlijke schoonheid heeft Portree een rijke geschiedenis en cultureel erfgoed. De naam van de stad is afgeleid van het Gaelic "Port-an-Righ", wat "King's Port" betekent, wat de historische betekenis ervan als koninklijke haven weerspiegelt. Tegenwoordig is Portree een levendige gemeenschap met een mix van traditionele charme en moderne voorzieningen.
De Fairy Pools zijn een reeks betoverende, kristalheldere zwembaden en watervallen genesteld aan de voet van de Cuillin Mountains, ze bieden etherische schoonheid en magische sfeer. We zullen genieten van een wandeling naar deze blauwe, groene watervallen - en als je dapper bent kun je zelfs een duik nemen! Zorg ervoor dat je comfortabel schoeisel meeneemt om te wandelen en een regenjas voor het geval het nat wordt. * Houd er rekening mee dat tijdens de wintermaanden, weersomstandigheden kunnen betekenen dat het soms niet mogelijk is om de Fairy Pools te bezoeken. Wanneer dit het geval is zullen onze deskundige chauffeur-gidsen de route aanpassen aan de omstandigheden, zodat u enkele van de andere hoogtepunten van het eiland Skye kunt verkennen.
De Sligachan Old Bridge is een rustiek bewijs van de geschiedenis te midden van de adembenemende achtergrond van het Cuillin-gebergte op het eiland Skye. Het creëert een iconisch tafereel dat de tijdloze schoonheid en ruige charme van de Schotse Hooglanden vastlegt.
Dit historische en iconische Schotse kasteel ligt op een klein eiland waar drie meren samenkomen en biedt een verbluffend schilderachtige omgeving die het tot een van de beroemdste bezienswaardigheden van Schotland heeft gemaakt. Bekijk het kasteel en bewonder het omliggende landschap.

Our guide, Tabbie, was amazing. She gave us a lot of information about everything and kept our attention all the time. She was the kindest and we had a blast.
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.
Hi John, Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the scenery and the stops along the route, and that Rory's friendly personality helped make the day enjoyable. We're sorry to hear the seating wasn't as comfortable as you had hoped. We appreciate that comfort is an important part of a long day on the road, and we'll share your comments with our team as we continue to review the experience we offer our guests. Thank you also for your comments about the lunch stop and Rory's commentary. Our guides do their best to time stops around local businesses and visitor numbers, although opening times can occasionally vary. Every guide has their own storytelling style, and while many guests enjoy the mix of Scottish history, culture and humour, we appreciate that it won't suit everyone. We'll be sure to share your feedback with Rory and the wider team. Kind regards, Siobhan Highland Experience Tours
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.

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 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.
