Isle of Skye truly amazing. The weather so nice during our stay. 3days there seems like not enough. We stay at Ridge End Cottage and have super nice owner. Went to Old Man of Storr, Staffin Bay, Kilt Rock

Boring and long. Rent a car and drive around is way better. You make several brief stops, and the added information you get during the long drive is not worth the time or cost.

Caitlin_M

Mike was our tour guide and was great! Many stops to take pictures of the stunning landscape. He had side knowledge of places and things we were pacing. They make it enjoyable so you aren’t always in the car and stop for bathroom and stretch breaks!

This trip is great if you only have a limited time to visit Scotland. The journey drives you around beautiful Loch Ness and there was time to visit Eilean Donan castle before going on to Skye where you stop for lunch and the coach stops throughout the journey to allow you to take photos of the amazing scenery. Our driver, Will, was very knowledgeable about the history and happy to answer our questions. 10 out of 10.

Chris (the driver's) stories. We really loved hearing the local myths and his personal experiences while admiring the voyage

Too long a trip for the day!! But it’s ok since you cover up quiet a things and spend major time driving..! Our tour operator was with Amberbush tours and Chris was our guide.! He was good and cooperative

Kahley_S

The trip overall was lovely. Beautiful views in the Isle of Skye. However, the bus was very small and extremely uncomfortable for a long trip and there was not enough time provided for lunch given it was a town many tour buses were stopping.

Susan_M

The beauty of the landscape. The animals in the fields - things that are alive and breathing today. Learn a few fun facts, not just military wins and losses. Learn something about art or literature. Some people may think that's interesting.

It was a wonderful boat ride. We were told lots of information about the surrounding. We able to view the sonar equipment showing what was beneath the boat. It was a beautiful sunny day and viewing from top deck gave us the best photo opportunities. Would come back again

Alex was a great tour guide. He had great stories and we saw so many cool places in the highlands. He was very accommodating to all of the customers.
