Our guide made this trip really special. He was outgoing and engaging, and made the trip fun for all of us. It was fascinating to see the dramatic changes in geography as we left Inverness and toured the Isle of Skye. It was also great to be in a small vehicle with only 8 people.

Wonderful tour with a visit to the Castle that is still being used for family weddings, etc; The items displayed in the Castle is amazing; After the Castle we continued on to another small town to have their famous fish and chips; and on the way back we stopped at a river that is said the have eternal youthful properties if you dip your head into it for 7 seconds (we will see if it works) Also walked up to a waterfall and were able to touch the wooly cows; it was all so fun.

This tour was amazing! Our tour guide was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, friendly, had a great sense of humor, and got us to some of the attractions before they got busy, plus some bonus adventures. I would highly recommend taking this tour because it has so many breathtaking views and as someone who drove around Scotland, it was nice to be able to ride and take all the views fully in. This tour is definitely worth the time if you are in Scotland!

We had a wonderful guide who provided lots of historical background and funny anecdotes. The stops were well planned and worthwhile. Being pressed for time, the minivan was the best way to visit Isle of Skye in one day.

What a wonderful, fun day out to Skye with a small group of fellow travelers & guide Niall. Weather was in our favor and we had great stops along with beautiful scenery at Loch Ness, Eilean Donan Castle, Portree, Bride's Veil Falls, faerie pools, & more. Niall was so knowledgeable and full of interesting & entertaining stories all along the way. I highly recommend this tour and tour operator, as this was my second experience with Happy Tours and I was indeed very happy both times. I will book again next trip!

My sister and I did the Isle of Sky tour with Drew as our driver and tour guide. He was a great driver and shared interesting history along the way, a very nice local man he gave us some local context and the tour felt authentic, not contrived. We had a really nice day, saw a lot of the beautiful Highlands, learned a lot, and with a good lunch stop in Portree. Thank you Drew! Also a shoutout to Cameron who helped us book the tour last minute (after a different party cancelled) - he was very helpful and also quite funny and we shared some hearty laughter - good job keeping it fun! I would happily do another Happy Tours tour without hesitation!

Niall is an outstanding guide, is very knowledgeable, and you can tell he is proud of his country and heritage. The stories, tales, and details about the highlands really enhanced the trip and made it memorable.

It was literally an 8-hour tour. Mike is a great tour guide. He tells us nearly all the historical stories every scene on the way. He shares a lot of funny things about the places. Breathtaking views. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone
