We travelled to Skye from Inverness and back. This company made the journey so easy! We loaded 7 adults and 2 small children into 2 comfortable vans for the 3 hr trip to Skye for a wedding. The vans were roomy and comfortable and the drivers knowledgeable and friendly. My husband and I also hired our driver, Ryan, for a private tour of Inverness before we needed to get to the airport. We saw many out-of-the-way sites - Beauly Castle, Culloden battlefield, Clava Cairns, and Ft. George. A highlight was a chance to see Simon Fraser, The Old Fox's, grave. The coffin was recently examined and it was discovered that the body inside was not that of Simon Fraser but of a woman. Simon Fraser was the last lord to be beheaded following the Jacobite Rising of 1745/46. (For Outlander fans - he was Jaime's grandfather). We had a lively discussion about whiskey and how it differs from American whiskey. (Barley vs corn). It was so nice to let someone else do the driving rather than try to navigate narrow roads, pouring rain, and driving on the "wrong" side of the road. The trip was pricey but worth every penny! We arrived on Skye on-time and un-stressed. The return trip was the same - though they took a different route to give us a variety to see.

Culloden was fascinating and moving. Cawdor Castle was also a highlight. Our guide Michael was very knowledgeable, and took us to some places we would never have seen or known about.

Ryan was an excellent guide, and we loved the tour! We learned so much about Scottish history and had a really fun time. Highly recommend this tour!

Andrew is a great guide. He customized it from the start, so my wife and I saw what we wanted to see, including his recommendations. He knows all the history, but doesn't overdo it. Mostly, he personalized it with Scottish music (asked us first), fun stories and great rapport. Each time we take a cruise, we splurge one day with a personal guide, and I'd recommend this one to anyone. A great day in the Scottish highlands!

Ryan was the most helpful guide for a Scottish adventure for me and my daughter! He made time for us on short notice and made me feel safe and in great hands from the very first email! He was so flexible, knowledgeable, fun, and surprising!! Probably one of the best tours I’ve ever had anywhere!!! Made me wish I could cancel some of my other plans and just hire him for the entire trip🫶. I will be calling him again when I am back this way! Thank you again Ryan!!

Sakina_N

Ryan was an excellent tour guide. Had incredible knowledge about the area and took us to see rare sights! We all had a wonderful time - he truly made the experience memorable. Thank you, Ryan!

We spent 3 full days with Ryan. He excelled at personalizing the experiences to the particular interests of our group of 5 which ranged in age from 20 to 80. He offered a nice balance of information sharing, conversation and went over and above to accommodate everyone. He knows the areas intimately and was a wealth of information both historical and current for each of the locations we visited. He genuinely cares that you have a great experience with him and can adjust and change the plans on the fly should you wish to spend more or less time at locations. He makes you very comfortable and is very easy to be with. Should we be lucky enough to re-visit Scotland we would absolutely book time with Ryan again. Would recommend him 100% to get the best experience of the sites of Scotland. Thanks Ryan for the amazing tours.

What a memorable trip! Ryan helped my friend Rose and I feel comfortable from the start. From the expert in town driving to navigating country one-lane roads, Ryan took everything in stride and helped us make it to all our destinations safely and stress free. Ryan's expert knowledge from living in the highlands gave us an in depth perspective that could not have been gained otherwise. His professionalism made us feel well taken care of and his ability to be personable and relatable made us feel as if we had know him for years. The since of excitement for Scotland is felt through Ryan's love for his country and its unique history. It was the most memorable trip for us. All other tour guides will be compared to this first class treatment Ryan gave to us. We feel we have made a life-long friend!
