Absolutely Unforgettable 3-Day Isle of Skye Tour – Thanks to Iain! - My sister and I just returned from an incredible 3-day tour of the Isle of Skye, and I can't recommend it enough. The landscapes were breathtaking—from spectacular mountain ranges to peaceful lochs and quaint villages. Our tour guide, Iain was everything you could want: funny (with some Dad jokes thrown in), informative, and incredibly knowledgeable. He introduced us to Scotland’s history, myths, and culture with just the right amount of humor (at appropriate times). Whether it was sharing legends of the Highlands or pointing out hidden gems along the way, he kept us entertained and educated throughout the journey. His passion for the region and his country was clear. If you're considering this tour—do it. And if you’re lucky enough to get Iain as your guide, you’re in for a truly special experience.

Fascinating Highland Experience - Had an amazing trip from Edinburgh through to Inverness staying at a lovely bnb,breakky was great,then on to Isle of Skye. Back to Inverness and then a history packed trip back to Edinburgh. Our driver and historian John S was simply amazing, his stories were factual and well spoken and filled with lame jokes!!. Robin was also excellent and full of fun. The coach was comfortable and all our needs were considered. The office staff had been approachable and answered all questions online as soon as they were posed. Overall a great experience and well worth it. Thankyou.

Great overview of Highlands - Ben was our tour guide and driver. To put it mildly he was FANTASTIC. Trip was jam packed with stories about Scotland's history and traditions. He was patient and professional with everyone. Ask for him!

Exploring our ancestry in the Highlands - What a wonderful experience. Our 3-day tour of the Highlands and Isle of Skye was full of breathtaking scenery and our tour guide, Iain was engaging and funny. He provided us with so much information and if you have a chance to have him as a guide I highly recommend! We enjoyed this tour so much that my teenage daughter didn’t want it to end!

Fantastic trip - This tour was fantastic. The amount of ground we covered over the three day period was far more than I thought it would be. Our driver, Graham was great. I’d say anything he doesn’t know about Scottish history isn’t worth knowing. Where he could he related the history to the areas we were visiting. The accommodation was lovely as well. It’s hard to pick a highlight as everyday it was something new, but I did love Glencoe as well as Inverness. The Isle of Skye was stunning. The only criticism I could make is that being able to explore Inverness more would have been good. I think I’m still processing what we saw as there was so much! I’d highly recommend this tour as 3 days was a good timeframe but we also got to do so much within that 3 days.

GREAT Tour!!! - Our group of 2 couples had a wonderful experience on the 3-day Isle of Skye tour from Edinburgh with Highland Xperience. It was a small group of 16 which was a perfect group size. Our driver, Rory, was really fun, wearing a kilt the whole trip, sharing tall tales and telling us all about the history of the places we visited. He even took us to "the stones" for us Outlander fans and was a good sport when we called him Jamie. The bed and breakfast in Inverness was spectacular and we loved our host and the food and our rooms. The Isle of Skye was so beautiful and magical. We loved every minute of this tour!

Incredible! Extremely recomended. - We loved this tour. 50% was the incredible highlands but the other 50% was out tour guide Ben. He was incredible. His stories and deep knowledge of the region and its story made the travel light and fun. There were very long distances and it did not feel long at all. The accomodations selected for us were nice, clean, well planned. Everything was well planned really. Timing, routes, stops. This was everything we expected and more. The only detail I would change is to make less stops with longer stays in the highlights like the three sisters and the cliffs.
