Traveller reviews
Isle of Skye was amazing! My favorite stops were kilt rock and quiraing. Lawrence was a great guide. He went out of his way to pick us up by where we were staying which was so helpful!
What breath taking views! The ride out to Skye is stunning! Billy customized the tour to our liking and was very knowledgable. He told great stories and we learned a lot about Scottish history and culture. He stocked the car with great snacks and even bought more of our favorites for the ride back! He also guided us to the best spot to dip our faces for the fairy blessing! Thanks for taking great care of us!
Our day with Billy on Skye ended up being the absolute highlight of our trip. We were traveling with young kids, and both Lawrence (during booking) and Billy (on the actual tour) made everything feel easy and taken care of. The van was clean and very comfortable, and Billy checked in often to make sure we had water, snacks, and plenty of bathroom breaks — which any parent knows is essential. Most of all, Billy was a fantastic guide: friendly, knowledgeable, and wonderful with our children. It was a truly memorable day for our whole family.
This is a great trip from Inverness, but note it is a long drive to the Isle of Skye and there is a lot of driving once you are on the Island itself. Weather can also be a big factor and can change suddenly. On the day we went it rained the entire time. We still had a wonderful time and our guide did a great job trying to adjust for the weather.
100% recommend! Billy was an amazing tour guide. The van we traveled in was well stocked with snacks, clean and safe. The knowledge and stories were amazing and we had great conversations! It is well worth the cost! Plus they let you make changes within reason to the private tour, so if you want a bit more time somewhere you can.
Must book! We had so much fun and saw GORGEOUS sites. Lawrence gave us great history into Scotland and its landscape. It felt personal and customized to us and our needs. I’ve been on many tours and this was one of the best!
We had a comprehensive, scenic, unforgettable tour of the Isle of Skye. If you want an intimate tour of all the main landmarks of Skye in a day without feeling rushed and feeling satisfied that you got to see all you could, this is your tour. As a side note, Dalmour 12 tastes especially good when standing on top of Quirang.
Absolutely the best tour and guide! Highly recommend. 10/10!!! We didn’t let the rain and wind stop us from an amazing day! Can’t thank Billy enough for sharing all the stories and insights about the area! Truly a wonderful day in one of Scotland’s most beautiful places! This tour will not disappoint!
