Good itinerary. Had a lovely trip! Knowledgeable tour director and expert Local Specialists. Connecting with Locals in a Be My Guest Experience is a nicely unique and enriching experience.
Claire R. | Traveled in December
Our last night with dinner at the Craufurd castle was over the top. So enjoyed mingling with the Laird and Lady. The whole trip was amazing, but that was the icing on the cake.
Tracey Forgue | Traveled in December
Excellent tour!!! Our guide, Owen was excellent. It was great to have a guide who was so knowledgeable about the area - from the history to best restaurant picks to where the live music was playing that night. We had a very comfortable shuttle bus with charger plugs (very important because Scotland is so beautiful I took a ton of photos and went through alot of battery!). The accommodations and itinerary were great - we did just the perfect amount of sightseeing for the 5 day tour.
Pallavi Shrivastava | Traveled in December
The experience was amazing. We could cover most of the places in the itinerary. The tour guide Neil is funny, knowledgeable and an absolute entertainer. I am definitely recommending these guys to anyone who wants to visit Isle of Skye. My smile in the pictures will tell you how happy I was all the while :) Thank you, tour operator!
