This tour was the best part of my holiday in Scotland. Gordon was the best tour guide and storyteller, and it was my pleasure to go on his tour through the highlands to the Isle of Skye. I learned a lot of Scottish history and folklore, saw some beautiful scenery, and got to feed carrots to a wild red deer and a hairy coo. I highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a day trip while on holiday/vacation.

We had the best day ever. Our guide, Gordon, was very knowledge, entertaining and told great stories. He went out of his way to make the day great. Great scenery, exhilarating trek to the fairies pools and a trip to a lovely little fairy stop. The best part of the trip was the close encounters with wild 🦌 deer and (Gordon being the expert hairy coo stealer that he is) the super close encounter with the beautiful hairy coos. He had a few surprises up his kilt too. Really a trip to remember.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience, you’ve found the right guide! Gordon met every one of our expectations on our tour of the Isle of Skye. Be ready for a full day but your mind will get filled with landscapes and knowledge of this amazing area of Scotland. The vistas are unbelievable and Gordon knows every spot to obtain the best views while adjusting the itinerary to meet your specific interests in what to see. Can’t recommend enough and had one of the best tour experiences ever.

Had the pleasure of spending the day with Gordon, trekking through the Scottish countryside. My wife and I loved the tour, from stories of Scottish clan leaders to tales of the fairy folk that inhabited the imaginations of early Scots, this tour really delivered. Gordon really knows his stuff and filled the whole day with a mix of historical information, local customs and even some up close and personal time with shy red deer and the majestic Scottish catle knows as hairy coos. I really felt this tour lived up to the reviews! Tips: Wear comfortable shoes that can get wet and muddy. Most of the public restrooms we stopped at take credit cards, no need to carry coins (e.g. gas station in Skye, Loch Alsh)

It was raining. All day. But Gordon made this day the highlight of our first trip to Scotland. We visited Fairy Glen, fed the hairy coos and whiled deers, stopped for photos and souvenirs. Gordon is very knowledgeable, fun to spend a day with and a great host. He made us fall in love with the Highlands! Don’t hesitate, book him. You wouldn’t regret it. He will make you forget about the weather and will give you the best experience of his beautiful country.

We were able to check alot of boxes in one day for what Scottish Highlands have to offer on this personalized tour with Gordon. He is an amazing historian and storyteller; providing unique dialogue during the journey. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking for the experience of a lifetime.

Gordon, the Storyteller, was an ex Ellenton guide. He answered every one of our many questions -- and took us on several short diversions to show us more about all of the toughest questions we asked. He thought of everything - brought carrots for the Scottish Cattle, brought a kilt, swords, shield, etc. so we could try them on at one of the battlefields he took us to, and took us from Inverness to the Isle of Skye and back. His stories were awesome and continuous -- no repetition at all as we traveled for almost 13 hours with him. Excellent guide and very knowledgeable. We highly recommend Gordon the Storyteller!!

Gordon was the absolutely best guide. We had a very full day with lots of history and amazing stops along the way. Highly recommend Gordon for a guide. It was just my husband and I so the personalization aspect made this much more enjoyable to us rather than one of those large bus tours.

alioud96

No words can describe how amazing Gordon is as a guide and expert storyteller. Even if you can tour the highlands on your own, you owe it to yourself to be with this gentle soul. This is the best tour I've ever had in any country and it is all because of Gordon.

The tour was well worth the cost. Gordon the guide and owner caters to your needs and likes. He is a great story teller and very knowledgeable regarding history. The tour lasted 12 hours and was flexible as far as stops and duration. Gordon came well supplied for several treats and surprises along the way. He wove in his wonderful sense of humor along the way.
