WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Loch Ness
Loch Ness Photo Opportunity - Loch Ness a large, deep, freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands best known for alleged sightings of the cryptozoological Loch Ness Monster, also known affectionately as "Nessie". We will stop for a short walk down to the shores of Loch Ness, take some photos of the fantastic scenery and maybe even catch the monster out for an early morning swim.
2. Urquhart Castle
Next stop is the magnificently situated Urquhart Castle, on the shore of Loch Ness, Admire the strategic setting of the castle, on a rocky promontory with an open outlook up and down Loch Ness whilst continuing to soak up the atmosphere of one of Scotland’s most famous lochs.
3. Eilean Donan Castle
On to Eilean Donan Castle which is recognised as one of the most iconic images of Scotland all over the world. Situated on an island at the point where three great sea lochs meet, and surrounded by some majestic scenery, it is little wonder that the castle is now one of the most visited and important attractions in the Scottish Highlands.
4. Skye Bridge
Over the Sea to Skye - The Isle of Skye is connected to the mainland by a road bridge. Connecting the mainland village of Kyle of Lochalsh to the village of Kyleakin on Skye. ...
5. Isle of Skye Market Square
Visit the village of Broadford which is nestled beneath the motherly shape of Ben na Calliach (the hill of the old woman). The name bears an interesting reflection on the political history of the island. Broadford originally came from the Old Norse Breiðafjorðr meaning ‘wide bay’ but has been retrospectively translated into Gaelic as An t-Àth Leathann, meaning the ‘broad river-ford’.Visit Broadford
6. Sligachan Old Bridge
Sligachan is located where the Black Cuillin meets the western seaboard , This is where to come to see the view that so often graces postcards and canvass alike of the Red and Black Cuillin with Glen Sligachan between them.
7. Talisker Distillery
Quick stop at Talisker Distillery the oldest working distillery on the Isle of Skye is set on the shores of Loch Harport with dramatic views of the Cuillins. Producing an alluring, sweet, full-bodied single malt is so easy to enjoy, and like Skye itself, so hard to leave.
8. Fairy Pools
Fairy Pools the spectacular Fairy Pools are located near the village of Carbost in Glenbrittle on the Isle of Skye. Glenbrittle runs roughly south to north along the River Brittle and is overlooked by the Cuillin mountains. Many tributaries of the River Brittle run down from the Cuillin into the glen including a stream with waterfalls known as the Fairy Pools, a popular place for walkers. The Fairy Pools are beautiful rock pools of crystal clear spring water fed by a series of waterfalls. Visitors can embark on the stunning 2.4km walk from the car park to the Fairy Pools via the gravel path bordered with grass, heather, peat and rocks up towards the largest waterfall, or walk further up the path and explore some of the smaller pools which lie ahead. The water of the Fairy Pools is crystal clear, perfect for any adventurous swimmers brave enough to enter the icy waters. – Go on you know you want to……………………….

Finish with a visit to the islands capital the village of Portree, situated on the east side of Skye overlooking a sheltered bay, is the capital of the island.and is only about 200 years old it was created as a fishing village at the beginning of the 19th century by the then Lord MacDonald.

This was the best thing we have done on our vacation. It was wonderful to be able to sit back and enjoy the scenery with knowledgeable and funny guides who tailored the tour to our needs. We saw so much including Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, Eilean Donan Castle, picturesque areas of the Isle of Skye including the Fairy Pools, had a whiskey tasting and fed the highland cows! Would recommend to anyone!

We had the most amazing experience touring Isle of Skye with Billy! He made sure we saw all the usual spots but also took us to some locations that were off the beaten path. It was a great day with eternal beauty on our side! Thanks again, Billy!

It was a great day. Our guide was so friendly and informative. He was also a lot of fun...quite humorous. He knew the attractions well and gave us his honest opinion as to "that's going to be a long hike, and I'm not sure it's worth it" ... and he was correct. We spent well over 12 hours together and we saw and learned so much about the beauty only found in Scotland.

What a GREAT time we had on the Isle of Skye. Our guide, Michael, absolutely made this trip for us. His knowledge of both the Isle and Scottish history is unmatched. His love of country is inspirational. He took us places that the bigger tour busses were unable to venture too. He was very patient as we navigated the rocky beach looking for the dinosaur footprints, which we found! The stories and tales he told were a lot of fun. We packed a lot into one day and it was all worth it.

Michael made the experience very personalized, and truly listened to what we wanted to do. He made the experience truly memorable with his knowledge of history, and in fact, informing us of additional history, we were not aware of for our family. He went well above and beyond.

Michael was AMAZING! We adored him and he was so knowledgeable. He helped multiple of us find family tartans and history which was just the cherry on top. The locations he took us to felt like a different world. Views you will never have another chance to see. Michael made our entire trip and we can’t thank him enough.

The flexibility that the private transportation offers is invaluable. Our guide Michael took our preferences and varying ability levels into account, while making sure that we were able to experience some local gems off the beaten path. He gave great advice on souvenir and whiskey shopping and was an absolute gentleman. Very knowledgeable about the history and truly hilarious. Ladies if you get Michael he will insist on opening the car doors his tours, just lay back and accept his kindness. When we come back we will definitely chose Highland Tours 4 U again.
