Great trip - Well planned and fun trip. Beautiful scenery. Jack was a hoot and a master storyteller, adding color to the area's history.

Such a fun day! - This very full day (12 hours) tour was terrific. Jack was both an amazing story teller and an amazing driver and really made the trip fun! The scenery was beautiful and we had way enough stops to get out and stretch our legs and see some spectacular sights. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone visiting the area.

Great experience - Great tour. Margareta was informative and fun. The castle was amazing - I could have used more time there. The Isle of Skye was beautiful even in the rain.

Great day out - Really awesome trip. I had low expectations as I went with 2 jaded teenage boys - but Jack was such an interesting story teller and told stories for almost the entire train ride that had the bus laughing and paying rapt attention. And it helps that the isle of Skye is beautiful too!

Skye is everything they said it is! - We had a great guide (thanks Chris!!) and some amazing scenes and experiences. The weather went from iffy to great to terrible... and we had a great time no matter what. It's a long day, but you see so much more than if you tried to drive yourself. It's a well-planned, fun day. Just do it.

Not suitable for families - We took this trip as a family of 5 (2 adults, 2 kids, 1 senior citizen). We arrived early at the bus stop and we were in the middle of the queue (seating is first come first serve), but for some reason we were one of the last people to board the bus. When we boarded there were only 4 seats left, so we got out and left a couple of people in. They then realised that 2-3 people need to be on the other bus and they had taken our seats, and after they vacated people with bad seats occupied their seats, and we basically got the worst seats in the house. I sat in the last seat with my 5 year old, and it honestly wasn't very comfortable. We also had to sit separately which takes the whole fun of the family outing away. I think if you're a couple this tour should be ok. But if you're more than that, then be prepared to sit separately even if you have children. I also found the buses completely crammed, it would be nice if the operator leaves atleast couple of seats vacant during each trip. I wouldn't recommend this for families. P.S. To the credit of the company, they did mention seating is on first come first served basis. But we never expected it to be so crammed.

Could be much better for the price. - Meeting point was chaotic. A long queue under the rain. No information about which bus to take. Driver was ok as a driver, but not as a guide. Talked to much, most of the time about things without interest. Played awful music without consulting the participants of the tour.
