Isle of Skye is breathtaking

We really enjoyed the trip. Excellent logistics and the tour guide, Robbie, is very knowledgeable and friendly. There multiple stops on the way. The views from Lochalsh are breathtaking and would have liked to spend a little more time there in return for cutting out some of other stops. Isle of Skye has so much to offer and a few hours is more of a taster for future trips.

More does not mean better.

Our guide Drew was very helpful and made us all feel welcome. For improvement, I do think that certain things can be cut out to improve the quality of the tour. For example, no need to stop over to view Urquhart castle….. instead head straight for Eileen Donan Castle to have 1.5 hours time to explore and really take in the breath taking scenery (as well as have a toilet break). Isle of Skye - you need at least 1.5 hours to soak in the atmosphere and enjoy the lunch break. I know the aim is to pack in as much as possible, but more does not mean the experience is better. I would suggest that there are two main points of interest for the trip (Eilean Donan castle and Portree) and also include a fifteen minute stop over by one of the mountains to take in the amazing scenery (outside the car) and have a mini walk and photo opportunity. That would be better than lots of small stops. Adding half an hour to the tour to enable visitors the time to enjoy the places they visit would be worth thinking about.

Thank you for leaving the comments regarding the tour to Skye. While each of your points seem valid t we have taken many years to refine the tour to suit the majority of our guests. Urquhart Castle for example is a great guests pleaser. We love you still enjoyed the tour and thank you for taking the time to leave your comments. Slaint mhath.

Great day trip to see amazing Isle of Skye. The views are great, the castles breathtaking and the glens mesmerising. Portree, a small fishing village, is charming and the food in local restaurants is great. And our guide Drew was brilliant too!
