The trip was amazing and the guide (Keith) knew where to take us and great spots to see. The travelling was very good as the car was very comfortable and big. Thought the tour Keith adapted to us completely, staying longer in places that we wanted to explore in more detail while spending less time in other which were of less interest to us. He told interesting facts about the places we went which helps us get a better understanding. Furthermore, just chatting with him about different topics was very fun! We had an inconvenience with my cousin (5 years old) as he started to feel unwell. Despite this, Keith ensured he was okay and stopped whenever it was necessary to ensure his well-being. This was great as a group tour would not have taken us into account and ignored the situation. Overall the tour was beautiful and amazing. Our guide was the best, as a guide and person. I highly recommend doing the trip with them as the kindness, comfort and constant interest is not achieved any other way. Thank you for everything Keith! Keep it up!

Great day tour to Skye from Inverness. We discussed our idea for the day with our driver Kenny, and he arranged a great tailored tour according to it. He drove carefully. The van was a Mercedes 8-seater. Very comfortable and clean.

We took a one day tour from Inverness to the Isle of Skye and Dennis was super, great as he took us to a variety of locations and was such a great host. You can tell that he is so proud of Scotland as he should be and we felt the same. I'm looking at the card and it says Keith but I believe Dennis was our guide. Either way it was a great tour and one that I'd higly recommend to others! Al and Lisa Antebi (USA)

Keith took us on an amazing tour of Skye! He was very accomodating in terms of requests. We got to see many things on our list and he was very helpful when it came to questions or anything else we needed. I highly recommend this company.

Keith is an amazing tour guide. He has a sense of humor and is very knowledgeable. I showed him my list of possible places to visit and we started checking off the boxes. Keith was very accommodating and went above and beyond in helping me and my family. He booked us a dinner reservation before our night train to London. I will definitely contact Keith when I return to Scotland.

Keith is an amazing guide. Prompt, knowledgeable, funny, courteous, and flexible. We have learned to trust the guides and not the cab drivers/friend who has been there one day. He was interested in what we told him and asked us great questions. The conversation was lovely and the silences were not awkward. He stopped at great views and would have stopped more if we asked. He showed us the highland coos (cows), kilt rock, Old Man of Storr, Portree and the HandSpinner wool yarn shop. He listened to the things we liked and was looking for and recommended this beautiful local shop. If you are more interested in breweries or hikes he knows the best ones to do. His car was clean and comfortable. All of the seats in the rear recline and all of us in the back fell asleep. We were not a full car and our luggage was able to travel with us. He stopped at a quaint lunch joint before Portree so we didn't have to spend a lot of time waiting to eat. I would recommend him any time and any where in Scotland. He even helped us to book a dinner where locals eat. We had a lovely dinner and made our train! The kilt was just the icing on the cake. Slàinte Mhath and happy travels!

I thought I knew what we were going to see (The Old Man Storr, Kilt Rock, The Quirang), but our guide absolutely surpassed my expectations! Ken took care of my family of five so well, which included a 72 y/o matriarch and a 6 y/o son. He was very attentive and took extra means to ensure everyone was comfortable on the journey. Ken was also very knowledgeable about the highlands, from geography to botany to pop culture. It was amazing how much information he was able to share to keep us entertained. He knew what to point out and what made for the best photo ops. We will all have fond memories of our visit to Inverness and Skye because of what an amazing guide Ken was. Would definitely recommend to others!!!

Our guide, John was a fantastic guide. He made adjustments to help us get the most out of our trip. Would definitely recommend the guide and the trip!
