Good - wonderful view and experience,good tour guide craig I had a truly wonderful view and an unforgettable experience during this tour. The scenery along the way was simply breathtaking, and every moment was filled with excitement and joy. What's more, the tour guide, Craig, was really good. He was not only knowledgeable but also very patient, sharing a lot of interesting stories and historical facts with us, which greatly enhanced our understanding and enjoyment of the journey.

Absolutely breathtaking day out across some of the most beautiful scenery in the world - Superb day out across absolutely stunning scenery and sights. I have been to Scotland many times but not as far on the Isle of Skye. A long day but worth every minute with plenty of photo opportunities. Emily is a fantastic guide - very funny and very knowledgeable

5 Stars Amazing Tour! Experience Scotland at a great price! Our Guide was Awesome! - We went to so many locations and got to see everything! It was a special time and only ÂŁ65 for each person to go and spend the whole day with a tour guide, ours was Karen and she was so joyful and really knew her stuff about each location. She really improved the experience. I would highly recommend if you want to see Loch Ness and feel the cold winds, while getting the best photos.

Clava cairns, Coos and Castles - We had a wonderful time with Donnie at Cairngorms, Cawdor castle and coo adventure! I have been on few trips with Rabbies and Timberbush, but what stood out here is he acknowledged our presence and spoke to us directly ( we are from India). I felt the real Scottish hospitality which I had kept hearing about but had never truly experienced till now. Thank you Donnie for that! We loved the stories too and The Welly Boot song! We enjoyed feeding the Hairy Coos gardens at Cawdor , views from the Castle Roy Autumn colours, walk through the forest to Loch Morloch, and pines and mushrooms at the cairngorm forest! And of-course the mystical Clava Cairns.

Made my dream come true of meeting a highland coo! - This was an amazing tour of Cawdor Castle, the Cairngorms, and a special meet and greet with two of the cutest highland coos! Emily was a charming and lovely tour guide who went above and beyond to get everyone the perfect picture with a coo - she even brought carrots! She is very knowledgeable about the area, and I loved learning more about Scotland’s history. Great tour!
