Skye is beautiful! Our day was tailored for our needs and interest. Pick up at our apartment was nice.

JPat_H

It was a great day. Our guide was so friendly and informative. He was also a lot of fun...quite humorous. He knew the attractions well and gave us his honest opinion as to "that's going to be a long hike, and I'm not sure it's worth it" ... and he was correct. We spent well over 12 hours together and we saw and learned so much about the beauty only found in Scotland.

We had an incredible tour with Billy to the Isle of Skye from Inverness. There were so many picturesque spots along the way, and Billy's knowledge of each place was exceptional. His kindness and expertise made the experience even more enjoyable. He expertly guided us, choosing the best destinations for our itinerary. It was a truly unforgettable adventure.

What a GREAT time we had on the Isle of Skye. Our guide, Michael, absolutely made this trip for us. His knowledge of both the Isle and Scottish history is unmatched. His love of country is inspirational. He took us places that the bigger tour busses were unable to venture too. He was very patient as we navigated the rocky beach looking for the dinosaur footprints, which we found! The stories and tales he told were a lot of fun. We packed a lot into one day and it was all worth it.

Michael made the experience very personalized, and truly listened to what we wanted to do. He made the experience truly memorable with his knowledge of history, and in fact, informing us of additional history, we were not aware of for our family. He went well above and beyond.

Courtney_F

Michael was AMAZING! We adored him and he was so knowledgeable. He helped multiple of us find family tartans and history which was just the cherry on top. The locations he took us to felt like a different world. Views you will never have another chance to see. Michael made our entire trip and we can’t thank him enough.

keriane_f

The flexibility that the private transportation offers is invaluable. Our guide Michael took our preferences and varying ability levels into account, while making sure that we were able to experience some local gems off the beaten path. He gave great advice on souvenir and whiskey shopping and was an absolute gentleman. Very knowledgeable about the history and truly hilarious. Ladies if you get Michael he will insist on opening the car doors his tours, just lay back and accept his kindness. When we come back we will definitely chose Highland Tours 4 U again.

Melinda_D

My family of 7 and I did this tour of the Isle of Skye and we had the most wonderful time! Michael was our tour guide and we couldn't have asked for a better one. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, hilarious, and made sure we saw everything that we wanted to see. I would definitely recommend this tour to other people!

Pamela_D

Absolutely recommend this way of seeing Isle of Skye and the beautiful route there. Our host Billy and driver Mike were wonderful and knowledgeable. Much of the landscape is breathtaking, but the Fairy Pools were the highlight. Comfortable van transit for our group of 7, left from a convenient location in Inverness.

Latia_A

This was a wonderful full day tour of the Isle of Skye! Mike showed us a lot of the beautiful sites during our private tour. His mixture of humor and history made the tour. Also, he went the extra mile with customer service; stopping to feed the Highland coo's, getting the best photo shots of specific sites, fun historic folklore and more! He was a great guide and we will definitely use this tour service again!
