Our guide, Willie, was an excellent driver and very knowledgeable about the Isle of Skye. He adjusted the itinerary to capture what interested us.
I’d highly recommend the tour.

Fiona is a lovely lass, great driver and Isle of Skye native who answered every possible question about her homeland with humor and insight. She guided us to all the beautiful natural wonders of the Isle. She took care that we were comfortable, had rest stops and arrived at Dunvegan Castle with plenty of time to tour and have “a wee bit” of refreshments. Would definitely recommend her tour!

We loved our tour around the Isle of Skye with Willie. There were 5 in our group and all had a great day. He was very knowledgeable, kind and patient. He took us everywhere we wanted to go, and to places we did not think about. No worries about parking, he would drop us off, and we would spend as much time as we wanted in any location. We were able to visit many places in just the one day, and we never felt rushed. -impossible to do that ourselves! And having a local guide was the best! Definitely recommend this tour to get the most out of your time on Skye.

Willie was a kind man who has lived in Skye his entire life. We had terrible weather and so the drive around the island with 5 in the car had its moments when we got out. sadly, it was a rather dreary experience as it relies largely on the scenery
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Dear Customer,

Willie is a great professional we are having great reference from some other passengers... however I am so sorry was not good weather ( not much we can do about it) as you know in Scotland got wet days 350 days a year
Many Thanks & hoping see you soon

Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We saw places that other tours may not visit. It was an excellent tour and included the cost of the entry tickets to Dunvegan Castle. We were not rushed and the tour was tailored to our interests.

Quirrang, but the trip around the northern part of the isle was all beautiful. Willy was an excellent guide and provided a great background on isle life and history which I appreciated. As a solo traveler with limited time in the Isle of Skye the private tour provided me the opportunity to see what I wanted and spend the time at each sight that I wanted.
