Highly recommended trip with excellent guide
Peter_H
, May 2022
Our guide - Greg - was fabulous: knowledgeable, friendly, with a great natural sense of humor. We shared our experience with friends in the United States who immediately requested pictures and more details. The scenery was breathtaking throughout the trip but Greg contributed greatly to making it a wonderful experience. - The minivan was very clean, the temperature was comfortable throughout the trip. We left on time and returned exactly on time - good for making plans. We very highly recommend this trip, especially with Greg.

Our tour guide Drew was amazing! He was so kind and seemed to really love his job. He made sure we saw everything and even searched for highland cows at the end since the regular ones were too far from the fence. 5stars!

An Excellent Introduction to the Highlands

, Dec 2021
Excellent tour with an equally excellent driver/guide in the form of Drew from Happy Tours. Time keeping was spot on, commentary insightful throughout the journey, stopped at places that mattered. We had a wonderful introduction to the Scottish Highlands on this exceptional tour. Whilst the views were panoramic, our guide (Drew) helped put it all together to make it a memorable holiday for us. Thanks Drew.

It was a great day out, Drew was an excellent guide who had a great knowledge of the history and heritage of Inverness and Skye. Eilean Donan and stopping to admire the breathtaking views of the Lochs and Glens along the way were the highlights for me. Even the less than ideal weather could not ruin what was a fun day out. Thank you for making the day so memorable! Will revisit the City and Isle again in the Summer im sure.

Cracking tour and ran like clockwork

Sensational tour with Happy Tours and the highlight of our week long stay in Scotland. A truly authentic experience, we witnessed some of the most astonishing natural scenery in and around Skye, walked in the footsteps of legends at Eilean Donan, gazed at the Highland "coo" and ate the best fish & chips of our life in Portree. Drew was a conscientious and knowledge guide, and kept a nice personal touch throughout. John & Wai, London
