Great trip

Great trip, guide was Torva who was very knowledgeable and tried very hard to be funny 🤣🤣. Accommodation we had at each destination was beautiful. Especially the guest house in Oban. The evening meal on Isle of Skye was excellent and would recommend. I would have liked more time at the Highland Folk Museum as I don't think we saw half of it in the hour we had. Other than that I can't fault the trip. We were delayed home by an accident but this didn't spoil the tour.

Great time

I really enjoyed the whole trip, the accommodations were very comfortable and my guide Torva is attentive, kind, bringing interesting stories and funny jokes. The only point that should be commented on is the time we stayed at the attractions, sometimes we lacked time. On the other hand, we can see many amazing places. Gratitude for everything.

Excellent tour guide who was also our driver Torva.

We were very happy with our tour thanks to our amazing driver/ tour guide who enlightened us with Scottish history and myth Lord Torva.

Really great tour

We had a fantastic time. Torva was a fabulous tour guide. His stories were so amusing - he is an excellent storyteller! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The quality of the accommodations was better than I expected, all the sites we visited were really interesting, and the towns were exactly what I hoped for. Wonderful trip! Thanks Torva!!
