I joined the tour in April 2024, the weather was amazing (not too cold nor too sunny). Sometimes it was cloudy but it added magical scenery to the view. The tour guides (Chloe and Graham) were so friendly and gave us many information about the different places. The driver (Mike) was a great driver, friendly and very knowledgeable about the routes in Scotland. I felt that they formed a perfect trio together. I hope to join them for the next tour with longer duration.
The locations we visited were amazing, we had enough time to visit almost all the nice places and take pictures in each spot.
The first day we visited many lakes, the great clen and clen coe, and more. Even though the trip from Edinburgh to Inverness took almost 9 hours, but I was not able to feel the time.
On the second day, we visited the Isle of Skye, and it was amazing. I hope that we could stay there more or perhaps to stay at least for single night there. However, the Isle has its own atmosphere and very recommended to visit.
On the third and last day we were able to discover the Loch Ness, Uruqhart castle and a battle field. On the way back we passed through nice small town, which was very nice with flowers and colorful buildings.
In overall, this was a great experience I had and would definitely try it again.

A truly amazing tour with Cameron, JR and Georgina! The schedule was tight but totally worth it, saw so many great places and the photo spots were expertly picked. The guide had thoroughly researched his material and the stories were lively and interesting. Learned a great deal! The driver was very skilled and we felt safe even in difficult weather conditions and on the small winding roads. The accommodations were very comfortable and hospitable. The overall atmosphere was very welcoming, can wholeheartedly recommend this experience!

The guide Chloe and the driver Michael were great. The stops were well placed and interesting. My complaint is around accommodation. I would highly recommend finding your own. The old B&B was not very good and it was pretty cold when we were traveling and the B&B turned off all heat between 12 and 6. It was absolutely freezing and really a bad experience. My mom and I almost booked our own hotel for the second night. This B&B should not be used. It actually put a damper on the whole trip which otherwise would have been fantastic. The nights should be in a hotel.

What a wonderful 3 days! Guide Iain made everything easy and fun with his knowledge and humor. As a solo woman traveler, I felt completely at ease. Hotel accommodations were clean, welcoming and good breakfast. Very much worth the expense!

Had a experience of a lifetime in this three days tour of highlands that exceeded my expectation. Well paced with a fun packed itinerary and breathtaking views of Isle of Ski, Lochness, Ben Nevis, quaint little towns as Portree, Luss and Pitrorchy and not to mention the beautiful capital city Inverness.Thanks much to our tour guide “Joe” who have been the best throughout taking care of all our small needs, always on time, fun to be around and very informative with history, culture, art and music of Highlands. For me “Isle of ski” , “Ben Nevis” “Inverness/Lochness” have been the highlights.Would highly recommend to book this 3 day tour , if looking to explore Highlands.

Had a wonderful time with Joe on our Ultimate Skye Experience! Thank you so much to the tour company for running a great program and Joe for a special journey we’ll never forget. There are too many highlights to count, but it was made extra special by the thought Joe puts into learning his customer’s interests and helping to make more connections for them/us!

I really enjoyed my trip around the highlands and isle of Skye! I got to see all the things I wanted to see while on tour. The group was a nice small size and it felt like you could really get to know the driver. Paul was a great guide with lots of good stories and facts. I would never have guessed he was still in his first year of doing tours.
