Reviews
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Tour – Unforgettable Highlands Experience! I joined this 2-day Isle of Skye tour and it was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Our guide, Willie, made the trip truly special — he was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and kept us entertained with Highland history, legends, and clever humour the whole way. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that energy made the long drives feel effortless and enjoyable. The tour covers a ton of stunning locations, including: Dunvegan Castle Kilt Rock, Old Man of Storr, Portree Fairy Pools, Eilean Donan Castle Every stop had enough time for photos, short walks, or simply soaking in the Highland magic. Also a shoutout to the host at Hillfoot (our accommodation) — absolutely lovely, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. This tour is perfect if you want to see the best of Skye and the Highlands. Highly recommend it — and if you're lucky enough to get Willie as your guide, you’re in for a fantastic journey!
m so glad that I went to the Isles. scotland is an amazing place to visit and is a waste if you don't go to Inverness and isle of skye. u get mesmerised in the Highlands. though it was chilling in November winters and the weather changed every half an hour, but we enjoyed our trip. Stirling castle is great but you may skip taking a ticket to enter the same. you can just enjoy spending time at the outside taking photos and roam around, unless you are a history buff. overall, a great experience. our guide Marita from Timberbush was amazing with very good knowledge.
We had a very good time with Stewart! it was a small group 4 of us us with him! And he feels like one of us! he is very helpful and share a lot about Scottish history and Skye history!
Thanks Jack for the tour, very professional
Time schedule is perfect. Participants can enjoy a overview of viewing spot of isle of sky even in two days.
My two-day tour of the Isle of Skye Highlands was hampered by poor visibility due to rain, preventing us from fully appreciating and experiencing many of the attractions. However, since it was a two-day tour, we had more time, and our driver and guide took us almost all over the Isle of Skye, where we saw many magnificent landscapes. The only drawback was that the itinerary stated the Fairy Pools were included, but the driver claimed they were not. To visit the Fairy Pools and take other detours, the driver charged an additional £10 per person, which felt a bit forced.
