Mythical tour to the fairies

We had Tabbie as Tour guide and she did a wonderful job showing us the Isle of Skye and the different spots along the way. It was a great tour with lots of information and wee details about lore and myths. We know the fairies are at fault for everything now ;) The driving itself was really relaxing, great skills there! And thanks to Tabbie's humor we got well entertained and even had some spontaneous karaoke! Thanks a lot for the trip!

Must See from Inverness

Loved it! The scenery, the Stories and History, the stops - all of it! Tabbie was a great Tour Guide, she took care of everyone keeping the flock together and accomodated everyone :) 10/10 would definitively go again - especially in this very un-scottish sunny weather ;)

Perfect day trip

Our tour guide Tabbie was the absolute best! Visiting the Scottish highlands was always a dream for us and I am glad I chose this tour. Tabbie’s storytelling was the cherry on top. She explained in detail about each location and keeping us up to date with all the local folk lore and stories. I really enjoyed getting to know small things about Isle of Skye. Will definitely book their tours when I am back in Scotland
