Time for lunch at the pretty harbour town of Portree- watch out for hungry seagulls! In addition to its natural beauty, Portree has a rich history and cultural heritage.

Tabbie was incredible! She knew so many stories and insiders. Moreover, she drives brilliantly!
The trip was lovely and our guide Tabbie just the best!
The tour was fun. The guide was very good. The bus was comfortable.
We had a lovely time at Isle of Skye , the trip was worth the money with covering many stops in Isle of Skye with almost the entire day in the Skye , this is an amazing tour for people who are not able to take car on own their own. Tabbie was a lovely tour guide who kept us entertained throughout the tour and was an excellent driver
Cullen was an excellent tour guide. He entertained us with stories, information on the sights we were seeing as well as other insights on the area. The bus was comfortable and despite the rain the tour was great. Especially enjoyed walking through Portee and the Fairy Pools.
Tabbie was exceptional! She was very knowledgable of all things Scottish and a genuine pleasure to spend the day with. She was helpful and courteous; this easily lands in the top city tours I have taken in the world.
We had a very enjoyable experience with Tabbie. The island is very cool and the as a fan of mythology, the local folklore stories were very interesting to listen to alongside bits of local history.
Our tour was amazing - Tabbie was so friendly, informative and gave us great backstories on the Highlands, Scottish culture, each of our stops and had such fun stories! We had a great time and learned a lot. Plus she’s literally Snow White and we got to feed birds at the fairy pools 😂
Tabbie was so kind and was very enthusiastic! She answered all of my questions with car. If I could give her a 10 I would!
Cualann/Cullen was our tour guide, and we couldn’t have asked for a better one! He was knowledgable, polite, and navigated the roads with ease. (I normally get carsick and didn’t feel that at all with him.) He expertly weaved together stories of Scotland-we loved the folklore and history so we could understand and connect with what we were visiting. (Bonus: he encouraged me, other friend, to stick my face in a river!)
