Isle of Skye

There were plenty of pluses & minuses, Drew was entertaining & a lovely character, he tried to make the best of what must have been for him a tiring drive. The Windows constantly steamed up in what was meant to be Airconditioning & 8 people in a small elbow to elbow minibus was a bit gruelling & not enjoyable where you are changing seats with people having been in heavy rain. Drew was quite wonderful even shared a tot although there was no included bottled water or eating or drinking on the bus. A mixed bag, would we go again? Yes but only if there were less people or a bigger bus. We’ve been in a bigger minibus touring in tight roads in the Highlands, if Drew had one it would be top score.
Fantastic

Absolutely loved this trip, weather was beautiful and Bill the tour guide was really knowledgeable and such a lovely man
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.

If you want to experience just a small bite of the highlands, this is how to do it! Coming from Texas, this was mind blowingly beautiful!
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!

Had a great day on this tour with our driver Drew who was very informative throughout the day.
The scenery was lovely and we had many stops throughout the day and a lovely lunch from the Granary in the square at Portree in Skye.
