4-Day Isle of Skye & Jacobite Steam Train Tour

Our bus driver and tour guide, Stewart, was informative and entertaining as he drove us around Scotland. The bed and breakfast accommodations were lovely and clean. The only, but serious, complaint I have is that the company did not keep the 2 rooms for our family together on the first day despite an email that said that they would. That meant that I had to stay in one room with one daughter and my husband had to stay with our other daughter in an another room at another location. The other 2 days, we were placed in the same bed and breakfast location. All in all, a good family vacation.

Our tour guide Stuart was awesome. He knew everything he kept the trip alive. I learned so much. The trip itself was just awesome and you have to go!

Wonderful tour! Craig was a great tour guide. Knowledgeable and made this tour a lot of fun. The accommodation was well appointed and first class.

This four-day tour was an efficient, relaxing, and memorable way to experience some of Scotland’s most beautiful landscapes. With all of the transportation, accommodations, and major arrangements handled for us, we were able to sit back, enjoy the scenery, and leave the driving to the professionals. After seeing the narrow roads, sharp turns, and challenging parking areas throughout the Highlands and on the Isle of Skye, we were very glad that we had followed the advice of others and chosen not to drive ourselves. A special recognition must go to our wonderful tour guide, Catherine, who was also our driver. We always felt comfortable and safe in her capable hands. She navigated difficult roads and extremely tight parking spaces with remarkable skill and ease—at times, it was truly impressive to watch. Catherine was also personable, attentive, and an excellent storyteller. She made an effort to connect with every guest in our very diverse group and created a warm, friendly atmosphere throughout the trip. Her stories brought Scotland’s history and culture to life, and the Scottish music she played along the way added to the experience and helped set the mood. Catherine remained calm, cheerful, and attentive in every situation. Highland Experience Tours is fortunate to have such a skilled, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring guide representing the company. This tour allowed us to see an incredible amount of Scotland without feeling overwhelmed by the logistics. We highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the Highlands, Skye, Loch Ness, Glen Coe, and the Jacobite Steam Train while traveling in comfort and good company.

Matthew (Matt) took our family of 9 members, between the ages of 11yrs and 75yrs, on a private tour from Edinburgh, via Skye, Loch Ness, and Inverness. His knowledge of the history of Scotland and the sites we passed is phenomimal and it enriched our trip tremendously. This is absolutely his calling. Matthew's prompt pick ups, great lunch suggestions and can-do attitude really made our trip stress and hassle-free. Scotland is such a beautiful and serene location for a family trip. We made so many lovely momories, and a new friend in Matthew. It was amazing!
