Great tour, friendly hosts

Charles_A, Jul 2026

Fantastic tour! Fin and Michelle were excellent. Just super friendly, laid-back hosts for our day. They truly cared about us having an enjoyable day. Nice little touches like local snack foods and drinks and Scottish music. Nice itinerary of stops. I wholeheartedly recommend a tour vs self driving- glad I abandoned that idea since parking lots can be full and some roads are so narrow.

Amazing tour! Fin and...

Amazing tour! Fin and Michelle were fantastic guides, full of knowledge and very welcoming. This tour is perfect for exploring some of the best spots of the Isle of Skye while learning about Highland history and culture. Highly recommended

Portree Day Trip

Paula_D, Jul 2026

Fabulous day trip. Fin and Michelle were awesome - funny and informative. Was so happy I didn’t have to drive all over the island and could enjoy the scenery and sites. 100% would book another tour with them!

Best tour ever!

Deborah_B, Jul 2026

This tour checked off everything on our Isle of Skye bucket list and more! Absolutely the best tour we have ever been on in all of our travels! Michelle and Finn thought of everything to accommodate all our needs. We had plenty of time at every stop. The music and stories between stops were fun and entertaining. Definitely worth every penny! We would do this tour again just to hang out with Michelle and Finn again! Memorable and priceless!

Knowledgeable and upbeat Guide

Janet_D, Jul 2026

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She was willing to answer questions specifically about the tour as well as other things we experienced elsewhere in Scotland. She did her best to make sure we could see everything possible, despite the weather. Would definitely recommend.

Awesome!!!

Mention that the tour...

Jean_A, Jun 2026

Mention that the tour goes rain or shine, and you can expect rain/mist. Quite a bit of hiking (in rain) to the Fairy Pools.

Wow! What an amazing tour!!

Irene_M, May 2026

What an incredible tour of the Isle of Skye! Michelle and Finella made us feel welcome from the very start of the tour, with their great humor and fantastic storytelling. The way they show us their island and must-see-sights, teach us their local slang and let us try local food and drinks, show just how much they pour of themselves into the tour! The tour feels personal, and we couldn’t be happier we chose it (as opposed to the bigger companies). They were also very flexible with the itinerary as needed, and we felt very safe on the winding roads with Michelle as our driver! Even for non-native speakers, this tour was easy to follow! This was a great experience, and we highly recommend this tour!! If you are in doubt, just book it! If we’re ever back in the Isle of Skye, we will definitely book another tour with Michelle and Finella!
