- Excellent excursion from Inverness.,in great part thanks to Neal. Extremely knowledgeable, pleasant and fun, with a great sense of humor. We thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and stops despite a hazy weather. This is a relatively long road but nobody in our family (2 teenagers, 2 adults and 2 grandparents) ever felt bored. Neil is extremely knowledgeable on history, the regions culture or economy, and fun. We highly recommend him and the trip

Great private tour! - Even in the rain, we had a magical day on Skye with Donald. He picked us up at our hotel and drove us to all of the sites on Skye, and even a few extra stops. We got to explore Portree on our own and then ended the day with a bagpipe performance overlooking the highlands. It was a day we’ll never forget!

The wonders at Isle of the Skye - What an incredible day! Niall was a fantastic tour guide. He brought local legends and history to life. Started our day off with the famous Loch Ness, then two beautiful castles, some beautiful waterfalls, quaint colorful houses, and finally the incredible old man of Stor. We also dunked our faces in the fairy water for eternal beauty! The day was incredible and worth every minute. My daughter (20) and I enjoyed this day and would highly recommend it!

Worth Every Penny - My wife and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary in the highlands. We decided to avoid the large tour busses and big groups and go for a more private, intimate tour. Our driver Donald is one of the warmest and most thoughtful tour guides we’ve ever encountered. This tour met every bit of our very high expectations (based on many of the other reviews here). Donald tailored the trip to our wants and needs and was just an overall incredible ambassador to the highlands. Extremely knowledgeable, incredibly friendly, great company. We enjoyed our tour so much we booked another for Culloden and Clava Cairns the next day with Donald (which was every bit as good as this tour). Thank you to Donald for making our trip to Inverness and annniversary absolutely incredible!

Great way to spend your day in Inverness! - Neill picked us up at our hotel right on time and from the very beginning we knew it was going to be a great day! He was very friendly and easy going. He told us all about the places we stopped at, shared great stories and local folklore. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

Sea to Skye! - My husband and I, along with another couple, did the Isle of Skye tour with Niall and it was outstanding! The scenery was remarkable and Niall was a top tier guide. We will never forget putting our faces in the river to the cheers of a bridge full of people! I cannot recommend this tour highly enough if you want to see the Highlands, Skye, and learn a lot along the way, Niall is the best choice you could make!!!
