Everything is good. Donald is very good guide. He explains everything. He guide us best way to walk and explain everything needed to be careful.

One of the best tours ever. The driver Donald is local and shares all his vast knowledge of Skye with his small group of eight passengers. All the stops are amazing. I can’t recommend this tour company enough. Thank you Donald and Clare for everything.

This is a wonderful, informative, engaging tour of some of the more famous locations on the Isle of Skye. Donald is very funny but also knows the island inside out. He's also a fluent Gaelic speaker and never misses an opportunity to teach his passengers about the language, the history and culture of the island, and the origin of placenames. Nice minivan, too! My personal highlights were the Fairy Pools and the Quiraing, and I was really pleased that at every single spot we got ample time to explore the area. At the Fairy Pools, for example, we got an hour and a half – enough for a hike! My only comment would be that I would've loved a little more time at the Quiraing, say, another half an hour, but that's only a really minor point. This was excellent value for money as well and I will definitely recommend it to my family :)

This is a great way to experience all of the best spots if you do not have your own car. Donald is super fun, and he has so much knowledge to share. Definitely take a day to enjoy this tour!

It was a nice small group. The tour took you to all the major sites in Isle of Skye. The scenery was beautiful. Donald did a great job telling us about the Isle and navigating the roads. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

We had the most amazing time on this tour. First, the roads are quite narrow and some can be a bit treacherous, so to have someone else behind the wheel was very welcome and Donald was an absolute pro. He was so knowledgeable and kept the drive fun as we hopped from stop to stop. It was also so nice to have someone show us exactly where to go to get the best views and pictures so we didn't have to wander and waste time. I feel like we saw nearly everything we could possibly see on Skye and it was such a wonderful way to spend the day.

Skye is lovely with the eastern side being my favorite section. Portree is just perfect. The drive to Uig to take in the Fairy Glen is lovely and the Glenn is quite interesting. Uig has limited offerings unless you are catching a ferry out to the Hebrides - which I encourage.

If you want to see Skye and learn all about it, then you could not pick a better tour than this. From our crash course in Gaelic to the wonderful history of the island, the Fairies Pools to the Old man of Storr, Donald was a wonderful host. I can't recommend this enough for a full day out of exploring and memories.

Our tour guide Donald was great! He kept the group entertained with his banter and stories of the area while traveling from one stop to the next. Even his music playlist was perfect Couldn’t recommend him enough!

An 11/10 experience for sure! Donald, our guide, was hilarious and knew everything to know about everything Skye. We saw all the most beautiful parts of Skye, and I could not recommend this tour more! There were 8 total strangers on the tour and by the end of it, Donald made us all friends! Donald, thanks for shuffling around our little “functional family” for the day. We were sad when it ended! Absolutely book this tour!!!!
