Traveler reviews
All the magic of the highlands!
Our tour guide Connor was excellent! He provided us with historical facts but his story telling of Scottish folklore was magical!
The highlands has my heart
3 Day Isle of Skye an Scottish Highlands from Edinburgh. Had an amazing trip with Nicky and Cara. 3 days felt like the right length as we got to see a number of things. The tour was very accommodating about bathroom breaks and stops. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
Lots of love for the highlands and coos!
Guides Cara and Nicky were so great! Very knowledgeable, attentive and welcoming! Favorite parts was probably day 2 when we stopped at the fairy pools and day 3 with the highland cows. Passing through the highlands was absolutely breathtaking. Also the frequent stops for bathroom and food were great!
Amazing 3 days in the Highlands and Isle of Skye
The 3 day tour was fabulous. Laurie, our driver and tour guide, was relaxed, knowledgeable, and kept the tour fun. Accommodation was great and the group we were with were lots of fun. Would highly recommend booking with Highland Explorer Tours. Scottish weather did not disappoint. It was all exactly how I imagined if not better.
3 day isle of Skye tour with that quirky Scottish lass Laurie
As soon as we arrived for the start of the tour we were greeted by Laurie and felt instantly welcomed. The trip was not only informative, but Laurie made it fun too. The stops we made broke up the travel perfectly which made the long days easily manageable. Laurie really made the tour a fantastic experience and I’d highly recommend it to all of my friends.
