3-Day Winter Isle of Skye & Loch Ness Tour

The tour is an absolute recommendation, especially in March when there is not so much going on. I spent three beautiful, eventful (but not too packed) days and saw a lot of Skye and the Highlands. Tim was a very safe driver & entertaining tour guide who often combined his explanations of places and history with matching songs from his playlist.

We could not have asked for a better experience. My wife and I decided to do this tour for our honeymoon while we were in Scotland because it seemed to mix both our interests of lovely views and deep historical (and mythological) knowledge. It ended up just being me, my wife, and one other person. We all got along wonderfully and had a blast together. Tim was our tour guide, and he was amazing from the get-go. His deep knowledge for every single stop we went to was inspiring, and he even had music that went with the history of the places we went. He was a big part of why nothing felt dragged out nor "boring." His jokes were hilarious, and anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't have a sense of humor. Since we were a smaller group, we got some extra time to do certain things (like the whisky tasting), and he never once made us feel rushed. As long as your group agrees, it felt as if you still got to get the experience YOU want. I took probably 1800 photos on my camera, and I could have taken the time to take tons more (If TripAdvisor let's me edit I'll come back and add some after I edit them, but for now just enjoy a few phone photos) Weather was perfect for us. Just know they cannot control the weather. We were prepared for the worst (we had extra waterproof pants and multiple layers ready in the bus just in case), but were very lucky we only got drizzled on once, and even then it was for maybe 30 seconds? Even if it was pouring down rain and windy and cold every second of the trip, I would still be writing this same review. The stay in Portree was lovely as well. Amazing service, amazing beds: just perfect after the "long" touring days. Food was wonderful, and I highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding if they have it (it's the best I've had). This trip is 1000% worth the cost. I keep talking about our guide Tim, but he truly was just amazing every step of the way. We even got to very briefly run into the other guides that help run this company, and they were all just as into it as Tim. I think that bodes well that any guide you get with this group will be just the best. Don't even look at any other services: this is the one to do.

My husband and I booked this trip while we're in Scotland for our honeymoon, and we could not have been luckier for the amazing time we had. It was just one other traveler with my husband and I with Tim as our guide. He took us ALL over the countryside from Inverness up to the Isle of Skye (or at least it felt like he did). He told amazing stories of history & mythology, and he was prepared with the best playlist of Scottish artists and folk music while we were travelling. He was super informative, really enthusiastic about the landscapes and stories, and not to mention HILARIOUS! Our stay in Portree while we took our 3 day tour was so cozy and accommodating, and everyone was so incredibly kind. Even the other tour guides from the same company we bumped into along the way were kind and funny. It was truly an incredible journey. My husband and I were kind of sad to say goodbye. Thankfully we have memories of this tour we will never forget. Please consider taking a tour from this company and go find the magic of Scotland for yourself. Anyone who enjoys history, the outdoors, and punny humor, see if you can ask for Tim the Mountain Man 👌🏻 Thanks again to Tim for everything! ✨

Karen was our tour guide who made the whole tour memorable..she was knowelgabe aboutbthe places and it's history...She was being kind and helping thorough out the day..

This 3 day tour was the highlight of the trip. Our tour guide Torquil was a delight as he talked us through the sites and knowledge of Scotland with important Scottish landmarks across the Isle of Sky and Lochness. The bus was a relaxing experience with frequent stops throughout each day for lunch and sightseeing. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great adventure through Scotland Isle of Sky!
