Things to do in Eilean Donan Castle

We took the one-day tour in early April and enjoyed perfect weather with almost no rain. Our tour guide (Karen) was warm, attentive, and went above and beyond by bringing us to many scenic photo spots, definitely more than the itinerary suggested. Karen also shared engaging background stories about the attractions and the highlands, which gave us a deeper understanding and made us fall even more in love with the place. Overall excellent experience — great value, beautiful scenery, and an outstanding guide. Thank you!

Sonia was a very good guide! Funny and smart. It was very beautiful. We had good weather so that was also a good thing haha. I really recommend the tour!

amazing 3D2N tour with HAGGiS highland tour guide with Liz, who was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, highly recommend booking with them for a wonderful drive through isle of skye. We even saw the snow ❄️! This is March, it's Spring! But shortly after it was sunny again. Typical UK weather so be sure to pack warm. Rmb to take your motion sickness medicine if you have any as the roads can get windy but there were plenty of rest stops maximum every two hours or so. The lodging was a warm cozy 2 nights stay with Skye Inn at Portree, which is super comfortable and had such delicious breakfast. Only complaint was that the tour wasn't long enough so that we could see more castles and more of Isle of Skye's beautiful skylines.

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 tour guide was very enthusiastic in introducing the attractions along the way, and overall it was a great trip. The Isle of Skye is very worth a visit! The meeting time is 07:30, and the return time to Inverness is approximately 19:30.

The itinerary was awesome—definitely a better tour compared to the one from Edinburgh. The tour from Inverness covered more places and offered even better scenery. We were lucky to spot Scottish cows and see the castle beautifully lit up at night. The weather was perfect, with plenty of sunlight. Mike was friendly and a great driver—we felt very safe and comfortable throughout the journey. Although there were small hiccups in the morning due to the bus being late from operational issues, the tour eventually turned out really well. No regrets traveling all the way north to Inverness for this tour.

The tour guide was excellent, very enthusiastic, and explained everything in great detail. Although it was raining, the arrangements were very reasonable. The highland scenery was spectacular and impressive, worth visiting again.

Went on the 3D2N Isle of Skye, Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness Tour with the boys. Our amazing and witty tour guide, Neil, truly gave us an unforgettable experience with his active engagement and storytelling with stunning visuals. Although the sun set early during winter and the weather wasn’t in our favor, we managed to cover most of our itinerary with Neil’s strategic planning. Strongly recommend Timberbush Tours if it’s your first time in Scotland.
