Family Feel - It was the most wonderful experience I could ever imagine having. They felt like family and we couldn't expect to have any better guides. It didn't feel like a 'paid for' experience. It was so personal and fun and I didn't want our Skye adventure with Fin and Michelle to end!

Perfect one-day tour of Skye - This tour was so well thought out, so much fun, such a good value! We learned, we laughed, we experienced the most beautiful spots on the breathtaking isle of Skye, all in one day somehow, and back in Portree in time for supper. The tour was small in format: just 12 of us, with a dedicated guide (Finn) and driver (Michelle)-- and while it was well planned and structured, the vibe remained warm and relaxed. Our guides took care of everyone and everything, and provided valuable historical, cultural, and sometimes even musical context for and between every stop. This tour struck a perfect balance between seeing a lot of amazing beauty across a large area of Skye in a single day, without it feeling rushed or overwhelming. Simply a great tour by great people -- Do it!!

Hands down fabulous! - Book this tour and you won’t be disappointed! The guide and driver gave us an unforgettable experience as we explored Skye and hiked the fairy pools. Finella and Michelle know their Scottish history, myths, and legends, and they deliver the goods with storytelling flair. We laughed a lot and learned a lot. Great sampling of Scottish music, too. Don’t miss this!

Best tour ever - The guides made this such a great experience. Their knowledge of the country, its history and the local lore. And music! They shared meaning Scottish music - all while having a grand time keeping us laughing with their witty humor. They made us feel as if this was the 1st time they were sharing these stories. One of our highlights of visiting Scotland - was this tour.

Amazing tour of Isle of Skye - Michelle and Fin are amazing tour guides! We were told personal stories about the Isle of Skye (like this myth about a river where you can gain eternal youth by putting your head under the water for 7 seconds, see picture), listened to great Scottish songs during the travel time in between stops and above all were shown many fantastic sites on the island. The group size was really small (9 people in total) and they really gave us their personal attentions (and even dropped us off at our accommodation so we wouldn't have to walk 30 minutes after the tour). I would definitely recommend this experience!

Stories, snacks and views. Best tour we had! - Michelle and Fin were the greatest tour guides that I've ever met. Not only were we always "first" on the tourist locations (after we left, other tour buses joined the location and it became crowded), but they tell the greatest stories, put in Scottish music in their trips and give out water, a Scottish soda and even water of life (whisky)! Next to that, you'll get treated with some snacks and the most beautiful views (if the weather gods allow it). Because it isn't a big group, they take their time to tell you personal stories, listen to our sometimes weird questions and take the effort to answer as personal as possible or just look it up with you. I just loved this day tour and it was more than worth it! We went along as a couple, but it's suitable for friends, families or just on your own.

Awesome Day Tour - We had an amazing tour of Skye. Loved our guide and driver. They made a wonderful route, shared stories, music, and treats. I'd say that's a top must-do experience, if you are staying on the isle. We learned a lot and enjoyed every second of it.

Our guides seethed integrity! - This is a small business, guided by the two women who own it. They encouraged questions, and eagerly answered with a wealth of knowledge. We took a full day trip, and definitely experience the highlights of the Portree area. I appreciated that their small bus had a PA system, so there was never any strain hearing their narrative. Both contemporary and classical Scottish music was played, and the list was offered at the journey's end. We were offered a generous variety of snacks throughout our trip, even a dram of whiskey!
