Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly! He taught us a ton about the country and the sites, and was able to tailor our trip to our wants.

Our Isle of Skye tour was absolutely amazing! Our guide, Davy, picked us up in Inverness and made the long journey completely worthwhile. Even though the trip lasted nearly 12 hours—with stops at beautiful locations like Loch Ness along the way—it never felt long. Davy was wonderful and incredibly attentive, consistently pulling over at the most picturesque spots for us to capture stunning photos. Every stop was better than the last! We had a great time for lunch in Portree and enjoyed an unforgettable hike along the Fairy Pools. We strongly recommend this tour and especially Davy!

Tobias was a wonderful guide. He ensured we saw everything on our wish list and recommended additional viewing spots that were terrific. Highly recommended!

We booked the 8am - 8:00pm Isle of Skye tour from Inverness. Our guide Imram, greeted us with a smile and gave us an outline of what we were going to cover and also helped with some changes. He was quite knowledgeable and friendly. Great treats were provided as well. I would definitely recommend VIATOR to any out-of-towners who don’t want to brave the driving!

We did not do Isle of Skye, drivers met us around 0900 am and we did a shorter tour - Loch Ness and Aberdeen, it was fine, the ladies got to shop and have lunch in a Scottish pub and we were back at the ship by 3:30 p.m.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Dear Muriel,
We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your trip. Unfortunately, the delay in arriving at the port—caused by the ship’s late arrival—meant we were unable to include a visit to the Isle of Skye as originally planned. This was, regrettably, beyond our control.
After discussing the situation, we agreed that your remaining time could be well spent exploring other highlights of the region, including Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, Inverness town center, and the surrounding area.
We truly hope you’ll have the chance to return to beautiful Scotland in the future and experience the Isle of Skye. Should you decide to plan another trip, we would be happy to assist you.

Great day! Picked us up at hotel and headed to Isle of Skye. Flexible with our requests and had tons of treats for our child. Would definitely recommend and work with again!

We were blessed with mostly beautiful weather on the day we took our trip to the Isle of Skye.
Fall was in the air and the leaves had started to change color. It was clear and cool and a perfect day for this drive through the Scottish Highlands.
As the day progressed though, we encountered some rain showers, which actually made it more beautiful because then the rainbows came out!
Several hours into our journey, even our driver Prashanth could not believe his eyes, when we came round a curve to dramatic views of snow-covered hills and mountains in the distance, which must have happened the night before, since he had been through the same area only two days prior.
It was such a spectacular scene with sun and snow and rainbows that even he had to take some pictures.
Then later in the day, it started to hail, and the wind whipped up and the sea became covered in whitecaps - again, a dramatic scene!
It was a great day and it was expertly navigated by Prashanth who took us safely to every beautiful spot mentioned on the tour description, and a few that I believe were extra.
It was a truly memorable day!

We had a great day on our tour with our guide Radwan from Luxury Highland Chauffeur. He met us at the agreed upon time and place, and although he had a plan for the day ready to go, he was happy to accommodate some specific requests we had along the way. We were a family of 5 and had plenty of room in the luxury (and spotless) van. He was full of knowledge about the Isle of Skye as well as other points along our route. He was quick with tips for other things we expressed interest in doing during other parts of our trip. Overall a great day and experience with this tour and Radwan. Thanks.

Being able to see a variety of spectacular sites was amazing! We really enjoyed the fairy pools, the castle and the ocean views. Prasanth was fantastic!!
Christina_T, Jul 2024
This tour was absolutely amazing! The views were stunning, and it was awesome to have someone to traverse the narrow and winding roads. Our guide, Reda, was absolutely awesome - not only was he knowledgeable, he provided the utmost customer service, and tailored the tour to our likes! At the end end of the tour, he even had reservations made for us at an amazing restaurant in Inverness. Highly recommended!
Amanda_V, Jul 2024
Our guide, Radwan, was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. He was very flexible and able to suggest stops that worked well with our interests and the weather (rainy, windy, and extremely cold in July). Despite the weather we had a great time, saw some beautiful scenery, and would do it all over again (with winter gear!). Radwan also suggested a restaurant for dinner back in Inverness and made other helpful suggestions. The Mercedes van was immaculate and spacious, and Radwan was a very good and confident driver on very narrow roads.

Our driver Radwan Ibraham of Luxury Highland Chauffer was wonderful and got.my wife and I the the most stunning views with great care for our needs and limitations.Highly recommend
Kim_S, May 2024
Isle of Skye was a fun day. The only thing is the rain hampered some of our stops. If not for the weather it would’ve been perfect.
Bill_R, Apr 2024
Eilean Donan Castle and Kilt Rock. Also enjoyed the absolutely beautiful scenery. Our guide was very helpful and easy to talk with.
Santiago_M, Aug 2025
Excellent experience. Radwan has been an excellent guide. Respect the dialogue between the group and the times and decisions. It has very good recommendations, beyond the exclusiveness of the trip. The vehicle is a luxury and drives very well and prudently. We stopped by the hotel, on schedule, and we were able to do everything planned on schedule.
