Gus was informative, flexible and knew the best “off main road” places for tremendous views! We requested the fairy pools and they did not disappoint. We needed coffee and stopped at the best bakery/cafe. Car was comfortable and he was great company.

Incredible experience! Our guide Regan was wonderful, very friendly and courteous. He encouraged us to ask questions and answered everything he could. We wanted to go to the Fairy Pools and he made sure we got there safely along with plenty of incredible sights and stops along the way! 10/10 experience, would do it again and fully recommend it to anyone considering.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Delighted you all had a wonderful time with Regan, Zachary. Thank you for this lovely review. It really means a lot to Regan, myself and the whole team at Scotland's Highland Tours.
Would be great to see you all back in Scotland.

Keith was an amazing guide and we highly recommend his tour of the island of Skye. He gave us the history of the area and let us customize what we wanted to see and how long we wanted to spend at each sight. Well worth the price particularly if you only have one day to see everything.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you Noelle. It was lovely to have your family tour with us on Skye.
We always tailor every tour, be that 1 day or 14 days, to our customer's specifications.
I had a great day with you and it is wonderful for our small, local business to get such positive feedback.
Best wishes,
Keith

Great day tour to Skye from Inverness. We discussed our idea for the day with our driver Kenny, and he arranged a great tailored tour according to it. He drove carefully. The van was a Mercedes 8-seater. Very comfortable and clean.

Keith is an amazing tour guide. He has a sense of humor and is very knowledgeable. I showed him my list of possible places to visit and we started checking off the boxes. Keith was very accommodating and went above and beyond in helping me and my family. He booked us a dinner reservation before our night train to London. I will definitely contact Keith when I return to Scotland.

I would highly recommend this tour without hesitation. It was one of the best tours my Sisters and I went on while in Scotland Our guide was Keith who was an excellent driver as well as a wonderful guide, with a great sense of humor. The scenery was magnificent on out trip to Skye and Keith kept us well informed of the history and stories behind the places we visited. He even went above and beyond helping us procure reservations for dinner and also help us with plans for our last day in Scotland with another wonderful and sweet driver Michelle.
