Thank you, guide Julian! The whole trip was arranged very smoothly, with interesting explanations and relevant background music. You drove safely for a very, very long distance, and the car was quite comfortable. For those prone to motion sickness, I recommend bringing motion sickness medication. Wanting to see the scenery but being too sick was really painful; I could only sleep the whole time, which was a shame. I was a little worried that the Isle of Skye in February would be too bleak, but it was very beautiful. It wasn't too cold, but the wind was very strong and it suddenly rained heavily, so remember to bring a windproof and waterproof jacket. Most of the shops in Portree are closed on Sundays. It was the second day of the trip, but there weren't many shops to browse, which was a bit of a shame, and I didn't feel well, but there was no pharmacy to buy medicine. Apart from my proneness to motion sickness which made me miss out on a lot, I highly recommend it overall!

The trip was really amazing. The views were stunning and worth to go. The schedule was nicely full without feeling rushed. We had enough time at each stop to get some good shots, or rest. Our guide Adam was friendly and helpful. He told us interesting stuff, threw in some fun facts and jokes that actually made us laugh, and kept the mood light. And his recommendation to food or places for photos are really good. Definitely recommend this tour!!

The spots were very good, however, in my opinion, the stops we made were in uninteresting places. We didn't stop at most of the places mentioned in the itinerary, and we spent 1 hour at a convenience store when we could have stopped somewhere else. However, the guide was friendly and we got to see beautiful places.
