The Perfect Isle of Skye Day Trip
Our Isle of Skye and Eilean Donan Castle tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Scotland.
Ben was an exceptional guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable, intellectually engaging, and genuinely friendly. Throughout the day he shared fascinating stories about Scottish history, the Highlands, and local culture, making every stop much more meaningful.
The scenery was simply breathtaking. From the dramatic Highland landscapes to the stunning views around the Isle of Skye, every stop felt like a postcard. Eilean Donan Castle was especially beautiful and well worth the visit.
Everything was also very well organized. The schedule was well planned, we had enough time at each location, and the entire day ran smoothly from start to finish.
If you’re visiting Scotland, I highly recommend this tour. It’s a fantastic way to experience the beauty of the Highlands and Skye with an outstanding guide.

Outlander Filming Locations Tour from Edinburgh
An absolute MUST for any fans of Diana Gabaldon’s OUTLANDER series. This has been on my bucket-list for some time now, and it certainly didn’t disappoint! It’s a full day’s coach tour (9hrs) which stops off at many of the locations where the TV series was filmed including: Midhope Castle (Lallybrock), Blackness Castle (Fort William), Linlithgow Palace (Wentworth Prison), Doune Castle (Castle Leoch) and the stunningly beautiful village of Culross (Crainsmuir). Our coach was relatively small (16 people), clean and fully air conditioned. Seat belts are compulsory in Scotland. Our driver Jack was absolutely incredible! A true Outlander fan and a history major to boot … so as well as getting the low-down on all things relating to the show, we also got to learn lots of other historical facts about the places we visited and passed through. Passing the Kelpies on the motorway was pretty spectacular too! Highly recommended … in fact I plan to do it all over agsin when my sister in law visits from Canada!

Totally worth it! Great tour!
Incredible experience, lots of information and sight seeing. Our guide Graeme was very knowledgeable and kept everyone engaged. My only thing is that it was too little time in Oban… then again, that’s not the tours fault (we knew beforehand). Don’t spend too much time on lunch, instead grab a quick bite and enjoy as much as you can of this magical place. We did an unplanned stop to see the hairy cows… extra points for that :). The weather was in our favor, lots of sun and nice temperatures. Highly recommended!!!

Excellent day out
We were regaled with stories about Scottish history, jokes, and interesting facts from the moment we stepped on Wee Davey's bus until the moment we left. He played music to set some stories, suggested the best spots for pictures and snacks and made my daughter's day with a special visit to see, feed and cuddle some Highland Coos! We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone hoping to see some of the highlights of the Highlands in only 1 day. Very satisfied! Don't forget to tip your tour operator ❤️

We would do it again tomorrow !
It was a great experience. Departure on time. Wonderful driver and tour guide Rachel from Rabbie’s Tours, loving heavy metal as much as I do. Good and clear explanations during whole trip. Loved the nice cruise on Loch Ness and appreciated several breaks fir restroom visits. Only black spot - duration 12 hours so your may be tired after the trip. Just do it and enjoy.

Truly, the Best of Scotland
A fabulous way to experience the lochs and highlands of Scotland! Vix, our driver and guide, regaled us with stories of the area and personalized the day-long itinerary so that our multigenerational family enjoyed each site and every area we traveled through. Hairy coos, bagpipers, castles, lochs, and glens - truly, we enjoyed the best of Scotland on this tour.

Fantastic choice for Outlander fans as well as causal viewers
This trip was fantastic. It was a last-minute decision, and I'm so glad I did it. Even if you're not a huge Outlander fan, it's worth it because you get to see several castles and some beautiful parts of the countryside. If you are an Outlander fan (as I am) it was truly awesome. Our guide, Esme, was fantastic. She was funny, earthy (but still respectful of the fact that there were children onboard), had plenty of comfort breaks, gave suggestions on where to go, and even walked us into the towns. One of the best guides I've had- and I've taken lots of these types of trips!

Ultimate Highland Experience
If you’re visiting Inverness or the Scottish Highlands, this tour is an absolute must. With such limited time in Scotland, we wanted to experience as much as possible… and this tour exceeded every expectation. We were able to see and learn about so many of the Highlands’ most iconic sights while also gaining a deeper appreciation for Scotland’s rich history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes.
A huge part of what made this experience so memorable was our guide, Martin. His knowledge of Scottish history was incredibly impressive, but what truly set him apart was his personality. He was funny, engaging, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Every stop came with fascinating stories, local insights, and plenty of laughs along the way. We felt completely taken care of from start to finish.
This tour allowed us to accomplish everything we had hoped to see during our short stay, and we left feeling like we had experienced the very best of the Highlands. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better day.
10/10 highly recommend this tour, and if you have the chance, absolutely request Martin. You won’t regret it! Thanks so much again Martin!!

This was the highlight of...
This was the highlight of our Edinburgh trip. Both our guide and driver were great, fun and knowledgeable. It went by too fast! We did not run into any cows during the day but we did see a few on our last stop, however it was already night and not too much lighting. Overall it was a great tour! I definitely recommend it!

One word; WOW!
This was an awesome excursion!! The Kelpies and Stirling Castle were fantastic!! We were enthralled with the majestic beauty of the Kelpies and their place in Scottish lore. Stirling Castle didn't disappoint either! The well laid out path throughout the castle made the history more entertaining and we learned much about the history of Scotland. The trip to these two spots was filled with beautiful landscape scenery! Our guide/driver was polite, friendly and knowledgeable!

Fantastic trip to Isle of Skye
Sonia was a fantastic guide. She had the right mix of humor, storytelling and history. The beautiful scenery speaks for itself but she added her gift for storytelling which made the whole experience that much better. If I could change one thing it would be to have fewer stops but stay longer at a few like Portree and Eilean Donan Castle.

5/5 - Highly Recommended
Karen, our tour guide, was phenomenal! The tour takes you along breathtaking scenery - along castles and lochs and everything in between. Karen did an excellent job of pointing out the scenery while also driving expertly, so that we didn’t have to worry about it. Bring a camera! There is so much to take in
