Loch Ness är känt som hemmet för Loch Ness Monster (även känt som "Nessie"). Den tidigaste rapporten av ett monster i närheten av Loch Ness visas i livet av St. Columba av Adomnán, skrivet i det sjätte århundradet e.Kr.
En gång på Isle of Skye gör vi oss längs öns östkust. Ta in den fantastiska utsikten över de röda och svarta Cuillin bergen, och öarna Scalpay och Raasay som vi leder söderut genom många små byar, ned enkla spårvägar mot Fairy Pools.
Gå i skuggan av Cuillinberget, med övernaturligheterna genom fina landskap och deras mest kända bad, Fairy Pools. Poolerna ligger i ett av de mest dramatiska landskapen på Skye. Älvorna badar regelbundet här i de kristallklara gröna poolerna vid floden Brittle. Vädret tillåter, du kan simma i floderna, en av Storbritanniens bästa vilda badplatser. Ha kul på dykning under naturliga bågar och vattenfall, men snygg inte på älvorna, eftersom de lätt kan göra förolämpningar!
Talisker destilleri baserat i Carbost var det enda whisky destilleri på Isle of Skye, whiskyen är en enda malt skotsk, med en mycket distinkt Peaty-rökig smak. Vi ska gå igenom besökarcentret och om det finns ett urval av en av de fina whiskysna som produceras här.
Vi kommer att tillbringa lite tid i den lilla hamnstaden Portree, huvudstaden på Isle of Skye med sina färgglada byggnader bredvid en pittoresk hamn, och staden Portree minns besöket av kung James V i 1540, dokumenten har det att det ursprungligen kallades Portray och tros ha varit bebott så långt tillbaka som den mesolitiska perioden.
Eilean Donan Castle är en av de mest kända slott i Skottland. Strategiskt belägen på sin egen lilla ö, med utsikt över Isle of Skye, vid den punkt där tre stora sjölochs möts, och omgiven av Kintails skogsklädda berg, är Eilean Donans inställning verkligen andetagande.

It is a long time in the van - understandable with the distances involved - with seats a bit close for comfort. Scenery was outstanding and the Eilean Donan Castle was picturesque and intriguing. Our preference would be to drop the distillery visit in favor of more time to hike the trail at Fairy Pools.
One of my best one day trips. Out guide was very experienced and told us stories entertaining us throughout
I gave it one star because I could not give 0 stars… Disastrous! It is simple, the driver never showed up! He left us stranded in the square! No explanation, no help to find us an alternative solution. In short, the day was ruined. We had planned 2 nights in Portree specifically for this excursion, so we incurred a lot of unnecessary expenses because it never took place! Stay away!!!
We had a very pleasant trip with a friendly, very professional, fun guy as a driver and guide.
Thank you. Driver/Guide is a pro. Thanks again
This was our first visit to Scotland, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our small group departed on time, and Rab’s insights and candid commentary provided a superb introduction to the region, giving us a clear understanding of where we were going and what to expect along the way. Travelling alongside Loch Ness, we made our way to the stunning Eilean Donan Castle before continuing our journey through the breathtaking Isle of Skye. One of the highlights of the trip was visiting the magical Fairy Pools, whose crystal-clear waters and dramatic scenery made for a truly memorable experience. Throughout the tour, the landscapes were spectacular, and Rab’s knowledge, humour, and storytelling brought Scotland’s history and culture to life. It was a fantastic introduction to the Highlands and a trip we will always remember.
So glad you enjoyed Rab's company and our beautiful country. Looking forward to seeing you again.
Bus never showed. Tried calling several times but never answered. Double, triple, and quadruple checked date, time, and location to make sure I did not miss anything. So not only did we miss out on the Skye tour our day was wasted.
Awful review. If you do not leave we can only contact you by email. You may be on holiday but need to check your email.
Our guide and driver was almost the best part of our whole day tour. Very interesting hearing about Skye, from rock formations, history and fairies to stupid tourists in rental cars:) We had perfect weather and a very enjoyable day.
The tour was wonderful and we saw everything we wanted to on the Skye. The highlight would be the fairy pools and Talisker Distillery. The only thing not so good was the tour guide. .
Oh, that is strange our driver guides are highly trained and are professionals, you can't keep everybody all the time. Glad you enjoyed the tour though.
Richard was the best tour guide! He knew so many stories and facts about Scotland and we loved every minute! And would recommend for anyone going to the area. We got to see so much and hear so many stories that we loved!
Tour cancelled on the morning of departure with unusable notice. I booked the “Best of Skye” tour from Portree for my only full day on Skye. I arrived at Somerled Square before 08:30 and waited at the pickup point. There was no Tour Skye bus, no driver and no representative. I called several times, but nobody answered. Only later did I find out that the tour had been cancelled because the driver/guide was sick. The cancellation email had gone to spam, and there was no phone call or usable warning before departure. By that time I had already lost the chance to easily join another tour. Tour Skye did issue a full refund, which is correct, but the communication and operational handling were poor. A refund does not fix the lost morning, the stress, the cold wait at the pickup point, or the fact that I only had one full day on Skye. The problem was not that a driver got sick. That can happen. The problem was the lack of clear, timely communication and no practical backup for customers already waiting at the departure point.
The tour was cancelled. You were sent an email the moment we knew about it and a full refund was issued immediately. Poor communication? we even hooked you up with another tour company so you could tour and not loose a day on Skye. We could not have done anything else but appologies for the inconvenience.
