Our guide and driver, Andy, was fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed our day to The Isle of Skye with him. It was just the 2 of us plus our guide. Originally it was going to be 3 of us but one of our group members wasn't feeling well. We had originally booked this tour because our friend hadn't see that part of Scotland before. So, when he couldn't go, Andy suggested we switch things up on our stops since my husband and I had been to the isle before.
We had a great day and we found Andy to be very personalable, social, and professional. Even though the weather was unpredictable at times, we still had a good time.
**Be sure to take a rain jacket regardless of what you think the weather says. The weather on the isle is likely to be totally different from the city.
***Also plan on a full 10hr day.

Andy was an excellent guide to the Isle of Skye. He took us to all the important spots and provided more than enough time at each location for taking in the sights. Andy was also knowledgeable about the history of each location, and would tell us as we got close to each destination. He was very entertaining and made the day a great experience. We could not have asked for a better time!

Beautiful landscapes. The trip from Inverness is a long day. We knew that going into this but folks should be prepared for a lot of time in the car. The stops were 20 min up to 1.5 hours. We bought sandwiches and ate lunch in the car. Perhaps we would have changed the itinerary to include a restaurant stop for lunch and skip some of the smaller or shorter stops. We had a very very windy day so we didn’t linger on any walks.

Our tour with Andy was truly fantastic and the highlight of our several week European vacation. Prior to the tour I let Andy know that I would be proposing to my girlfriend on this day. He helped me with all the logistics, captured some amazing photographs of us, and even brought champagne so we could raise a glass in celebration.

Isle of Skye was breathtaking, and I cannot believe how much Andy was able to fit into a single tour. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and really brought the tour to life. Next time we are in the Highlands we will be booking another tour with Andy as his service was truly second to none

Amazing trip..picturesque scenery.. It was what we hoped for and more
Pleasant, knowledgeable, helpful guide “Andy”..He managed to adjust the itinerary based on what the weather allowed and our preference with hotel pick up & drop off. He also had extra umbrellas for possibility of rain & drinking water..
All in all it was a very enjoyable experience, would definitely recommend.
Thank you Andy..

HUGE gratitude to Andy for the incredible Isle of Skye tour! He was extremely accommodating, very knowledgeable and personable, and an all-around great guy to spend the day with. His tour was well-designed, and he made sure to check in with us about our needs and preferences throughout the day. And, he recommended great whiskys!
We would highly recommend this tour if you are looking to cover a lot of Scottish highland ground and learn interesting facts in great company.

If you are looking for an enjoyable tour that will provide information about the sites you are seeing, I would avoid this tour. We thought we were getting a wonderful, personal tour that would be informative and fun. Instead, we were met at the hotel by a taxi driver who told us he would be the driver. We were told that Andy was on a different tour that day. We spent the day in the back of a taxi with a man who is not from the area, did not know anything about the sites we were seeing, and who drove like a taxi driver. The taxi was not a nice one like the classic ones you find in London, but closer to a New York City cab. The taxi driver was kind, he never waited to make sure we were settled and buckled before taking off. At the beginning of the tour he asked if we wanted the long walk or short walk. We are quite active so said the longer walk, not realizing that the longer walk would bring us on a completely different tour. That was not explained to us, so while the Isle of Skye is beautiful, we did not see many of the things we had been excited to see. When we asked about one of the castle ruins we were going to the driver said he did not know anything about it. We contacted the tour company afterwards once we had wifi and were told that this is what we paid for, but he would give us a small refund due to being stuck in a taxi and not a nicer vehicle. The tour company also said we should have confirmed the stops prior to starting the tour and it was our fault the tour was changed. If all you are looking for in a day trip to the Isle of Skye is to take some photos and not get any information, you could do this tour, but I would recommend doing a big bus tour instead. You will save money and definitely be more comfortable.

This was NOT a Tour! It WAS a taxi ride to 4 places. The driver was polite but knew NOTHING ABOUT SCOTLAND! For the price we paid we could have hired anyone off the street. We had booked the northern part of Isles of Skye but because we did not understand what the driver was asking we had a different drive. At no point was this a tour! We understand that if you get Andy you have an entirely different experience but otherwise just say NO to this over priced taxi ride!

If looking for just a private driver I guess this is a fair option but a pricy one. When we booked our "tour" we were expecting the driver to know the itinerary along with some historical facts about Scotland. We reached out to Andy regarding our disappointment, his response is as follows, "I am sorry you felt that you didn't learn about Scotland from our tour but we are more about scenery and photo opportunities rather than lots of historical facts and we cant please everyone."
