We had the absolute best time with Mike, our guide, on the two day Isle of Skye, Fairy Pools, and Highland Castles tour. We saw amazing places and it was an absolute highlight of my trip. The stand outs were the fairy pool walk, the Quiraing, and feeding the highland cows. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

2-day Isle of Skye Tour October 2025 I did a two day tour from Inverness to the Isle of Skye. Our tour guide was Atis and he was amazing! There were some very strong winds and he drove us safely through the stormy weather. He was very attentive, told us interesting things about the places, we went to, took us to the best restaurant for lunch and he even stopped, so we could see and touch some Highland cows 😍. We saw all the major sights on the way. We had a lot of fun as a group with him. Thank you Atis, you’re awesome!

I did the Fort George/Culloden (and clava cairns)/cairngorms tour. It’s a day trip from Inverness, left around 08:30 and made it back around 18:30. I went in early October and we got very lucky with the weather. Some sun, clouds, and wind. Fort George and Culloden both have exhibits you can walk through, they’re just not included in your ticket price (since it’s optional, at Culloden you can walk around the battleground for free). Both exhibits were around ~£11-12 and they give you ample time to walk through them as long as you don’t dilly dally. We had a small group and a small bus that had a USB and type C plug at each seat. No bathroom on our bus, but you stop enough at regular intervals with places that have bathrooms. We didn’t hit the super touristy areas for the most part, but that’s what I liked about it. They are still cool sites to see but not too crowded. Stewart was our driver and he was very knowledgeable and had lots of little fun facts. In the morning we hit more of the historical sites, and after lunch we went into caingorms and walked around Loch Morlich. It was an easy path, and took about 30-45 mins. It was a nice walk and view, but also optional if you’re not into that.

We've visited beautiful places and the program was very well organized. There were always enough time for making photos, and the bathroom pauses were perfectly scheduled.

Our party of 6 booked two private tours (Inverness to Aberdeen, Aberdeen to Edinburgh) that were spectacular! Our guide Alan was superb, a real gentleman who quickly figured out the dynamics of our group and tailored our trips accordingly. He was literally an encyclopedia with a great personality. He clearly knows stuff and has been doing this for a long time. He knew all the ins and outs of our stops to avoid bus traffic. He made special little stops for us to get unique photo ops, get up close to some highland cows, and even scheduled an impromptu whisky tasting at a distillery. Alan went out of his way to make us feel special the entire time and totally elevated our experience. In these reviews the tours and guides are normally the focus but I also want to comment on the booking process itself, which was exceptional. We needed to get from Inverness to Aberdeen, then from Aberdeen to Edinburgh the next day but didn't want straight taxi rides. Charline arranged both itineraries with fantastic must-see stops. She communicated with me frequently throughout the process. Days before the trip she reached out to assure us everything was in order, the day before the trip she sent us our drivers name and a tracking link to the brand new Mercedes van, and the day after each trip she followed up to make sure everything was going well. Excellent, excellent customer service from A to Z. Highly recommended, would use them again in a heartbeat.
