Passing through the second major town on Skye with it's stunning views across the sound to the site of the once bustling Kishorn Yard.
With it's colourful harbour, Somerled Square, quaint shops and eateries and the excellent Aros centre offering history and culture, a stop in Portree is a must.
Magnificent basalt formation, resembling a kilt and imposing Mealt Waterfall.
I love this place. Housed in the original family home of the lovely, Dugald Ross, with it's internationally famous collectioin of dinosaur fossils, found nearby, which he started in 1976!
Captivating landscape at the north of the island. The Table was once used to play shinty on! Photo stop.

Gus was informative, flexible and knew the best “off main road” places for tremendous views! We requested the fairy pools and they did not disappoint. We needed coffee and stopped at the best bakery/cafe. Car was comfortable and he was great company.
Thank you for your lovely comments. Very happy that you chose Scotland's Highland Tours and had such an enjoyable day with Gus. Best wishes, Catherine
Incredible experience! Our guide Regan was wonderful, very friendly and courteous. He encouraged us to ask questions and answered everything he could. We wanted to go to the Fairy Pools and he made sure we got there safely along with plenty of incredible sights and stops along the way! 10/10 experience, would do it again and fully recommend it to anyone considering.
Delighted you all had a wonderful time with Regan, Zachary. Thank you for this lovely review. It really means a lot to Regan, myself and the whole team at Scotland's Highland Tours. Would be great to see you all back in Scotland. Best wishes, Catherine
Keith was an amazing guide and we highly recommend his tour of the island of Skye. He gave us the history of the area and let us customize what we wanted to see and how long we wanted to spend at each sight. Well worth the price particularly if you only have one day to see everything.
Thank you Noelle. It was lovely to have your family tour with us on Skye. We always tailor every tour, be that 1 day or 14 days, to our customer's specifications. I had a great day with you and it is wonderful for our small, local business to get such positive feedback. Best wishes, Keith
We did a full day at Isle of Skye. We were picked up at our airbnb outside Inverness and spent a full 10 hours seeing the Isle of Skye. Regan was an exceptional driver/tour guide. I highly recommend using their service. We also used them for a day trip for our scotch tasting. All 4 couples loved the two days we spend with Regan as our driver.
Hello Amy, Lovely of you to review us and delighted you all had a great two days on tour on Skye and in Speyside. Regan is a gentleman and loves to tour with guests around the Highlands and Scotland. Best wishes, Catherine
Had a very wet, cold & windy day trip across to the Isle of Skye but we had an awesome tour guide, Keith. We did a loop stopping at Glen Sligachan to stretch our legs and see a sculpture of 2 pioneer climbers then up through Portree (stopped for lunch & a look at the shops), passed the Quiraing Walk (too wet!), saw The Old Man of Storr just through the low cloud, stopped at Kilt Rock, visited the very interesting museum of early life in Skye, had pics with hairy coos before heading back via Uig. Keith was very friendly & easy to get along with. Made our family day out a lot of fun. Thank you!
Hi Fiona, Thank you. It is lovely and heartwarming to get such lovely feedback from our customers. Even in the rain, Skye is magical. Best wishes, Keith
The views were amazing despite the cloud wind and rain. Keith showed us around the Isle of Skye. Wonderful day! Highly recommend this company ask for Keith he is the BEST!! Even got to help a sheep! So much fun!! THANKYOU
Hi Sally, Thank you! It was a blast. You were all just wonderful company for me and it was my pleasure to tour with you. All the best, Keith
John was an excellent driver with pleasant manners and great expertise. He responded to our wishes, offered us various alternatives to choose from and there was never any time pressure. John showed us very nice places away from the tourist crowds.
Hi Stefan, Thank you for reviewing John. He loves to tour and enjoyed his day with you all very much. Best wishes, Catherine
We had an incredible experience on our day trip around the Isle of Skye with our guide Gus. He was so friendly and highly knowledgeable about the island's history, geography, and culture, and he was able to provide fascinating stories. Not only did he expertly navigate us through the island's breathtaking landscapes, but he also offered fantastic recommendations suitable for my six-year-old son. Gus even researched my grandparent's family name and tailored the experience. It was a truly unforgettable experience, from the castles, dinosaur bones and footprints, waterfalls, and hidden gems that we would have never discovered on our own. Gus's passion for the Isle of Skye was genuinely infectious. His deep knowledge and love for the island were evident throughout the tour, leaving us with a strong appreciation for its beauty and history. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable exploration of the Isle of Skye.
Hello Ashely, Thank you very much for the lovely review of Gus. It is very much appreciated. It was great having you and your son on tour with us. Gus is passionate about touring, Scotland and giving each and every customer the best experience. Gus is wonderful when it comes to family history and puts 100% into adapting tours around family ancestory. Wishing you and your son all the best. Catherine
This was an amazing trip and Keith was an amazing guide. Things were so well planned. 10 days with 20 people is no small task. Thank you!
Hi Erin, Thank you for the lovely review; I very much appreciate it. I like a challenge but your family were not challenging; they were fantastic and it was a real pleasure being your guide for these 10 days. Best wishes, Keith
Our driver Kenny was great. He took us to some great places. We loved all his extra information and fun facts. We would definitely recommend this tour. Fun Day! He's a good driver.
Thank you for the kind words. Very happy you enjoyed our Skye Tour and your guide Kenny was able to give you a fun filled day. Best wishes, Keith
