Wet and windy day on the Isle of Skye
I can’t recommend Liam highly enough if you are thinking about the Isle of Syke and Donan Castle tour. The weather was cold, windy, and rainy but Liam made it one of the best tours I’ve taken. He knows the answer to whatever question you could ask and seems to really care that his passengers enjoy the experience. This guy is a real asset to Rabbie’s Tours.

Very informative and our driver went out of his way to make sure we had a wonderful time and had everything we needed! His storytelling was interesting and funny! Highly recommend!
Great overview tour of Isle of Skye
We really enjoyed this guided trip! Ryan, our tour guide, is a real pro and described the history in terms of stories which made it so interesting. Comfy bus, plenty of rest stops. We also happened to get a rare warm, sunny, mist free, wind free , and midge free day on Isle of Skye! This trip is a comprehensive overview of the main attractions on the Isle of Skye and highly recommend.
